Using the Dashboard page

The Dashboard page contains graphics that show key information about the current state of your QoreStor instance. This page automatically refreshes every 30 seconds.

To use the Dashboard page, follow these steps.

  1. Click Dashboard in the navigation menu of the QoreStor GUI.
  2. You can view the following graphs:
    • Compression—displays a total compression in percentage (combining both deduplication and compression) over a time period (for example, every hour, which is the default).
    • Swap memory Usage—displays the amount of swap memory used.
    • Physical Capacity—displays total used space, free space, and used and encrypted space in GBs and TBs.
    • Network throughput—displays performance information for the configured NICs.
    • Throughput—displays the throughput volume (reads and writes) in Mebibytes/second (MiB/s) based on time (for example, every hour, which is the default).
    • Storage capacity—displays the amount of used and free storage space.
    • System Information—displays information on the QoreStor system, including:
      • System State

  • Object Direct Capacity Used in GB - Total capacity in GB used by object storage by this QoreStor instance with Object Direct Storage.
  • Archive Capacity Used - Total capacity used in Azure Glacier or Deep Glacier by this QoreStor instance.
  • Archive Capacity Used in GB - Total capacity in GB used in Azure Glacier or Deep Glacier by this QoreStor instance.
  • Metadata Used - Total capacity used by metadata partition, which is not included in licensed capacity.
  • Metadata Used in GB - Total capacity in GB used by metadata partition, which is not included in licensed capacity.
  • Reserve Space - Free capacity below which QoreStor goes into read-only mode.
  • Reserve Space in GB - Free capacity below which QoreStor goes into read-only mode.
  • Total Capacity - Physical capacity of all of the mount points configured for QoreStor. For QoreStor with Object Direct Storage, it is Licensed capacity.
  • Total Capacity in GB - Physical capacity in GB of all of the mount points configured for QoreStor. For QoreStor with Object Direct Storage, it is Licensed capacity.
  • Licensed Capacity - Total licensed capacity.
  • Licensed Capacity in GB - Total licensed capacity in GB.
  • Read Throughput - Throughput at which data is being read out of QoreStor during restore or replication.
  • Write Throughput - Logical throughput at which data is being ingested, which is computed using total data written to QoreStor including duplicate data in a particular period of time.
  • Current Files - Current number of files present on the system, which does not include files in the Cleaner laundry.
  • Current Files Stubbed - Current number of files for which a cloud on-premises retention policy was applied and local storage was released. File data resides in cloud storage only.
  • Modified Files Uploaded to Cloud - Current number of files (count only) that were updated after uploading to a cloud tier and are re-uploaded again to the cloud tier along with updates.
  • Modified Files Uploaded to Archive - Current number of files (count only) that were updated after uploading to an archive tier and are re-uploaded again to the archive tier along with updates.
  • Current Bytes - Current size of data protected on the system.
  • Current Stubbed Bytes - Current logical bytes which are released after applying cloud on-premises retention policy.
  • Current Local Bytes - Current logical bytes on on-premises disks.
  • Post Dedupe Bytes - Current bytes in the system post deduplication.
  • Post Compression Bytes - Current bytes in the system after compression (which is done after deduplication).
  • Post Encryption Bytes - Current bytes after encryption. Encryption (if enabled) is done after compression.
  • Post Encryption Bytes in GiB - Current bytes in GiB after encryption. Encryption (if enabled) is done after compression.
  • Cleaner Status - Status of the space reclamation process.
