Viewing containers via the CLI

To view the list of containers, follow these steps.

  2. Access the QoreStor CLI. Refer to Accessing the CLI commands for more information.
  3. To view the containers on this QoreStor instance, use the command 
    container --show [--name <name>] [--verbose]

    Refer to the QoreStor Command Line Reference Guide for more information.

Viewing container statistics

In the QoreStor GUI, you can view statistics about a selected container. All statistics displayed represent specific information about the backup data, throughput, replication, marker type, and connection type for the selected container. The displayed statistics will vary depending upon the connection type used by the specified container.

To display container statistics for a selected container, complete the following steps.

  1. In the navigation menu, click Containers. The Containers page is displayed.
  2. In the list of containers, find the container for which you want to view statistics, and then click the (ellipsis icon) in the upper-right corner of the container's information pane.
  3. Click Details.
  4. The Container details page contains the following sections:
    • In the Active Files, Active Bytes, and Throughput charts, you can view current statistics for the container.

      The Active Files chart displays the number of active files ingested based on time (in minutes), and the Active Bytes displays the number of active bytes ingested based on time (in minutes).

      The Throughput chart displays the number of read data in Mebibytes/per second (MiB/s) based on time (in minutes), and the number of write data in MiB/s based on time (in minutes).

      NOTE: The values in the Active Files, Active Bytes, and Throughput charts refresh automatically every 15 seconds.

    • In the Connection pane, you can view information about the configured connection type for the selected container. The type of information displayed can be different depending on the connection type. For example, for an RDS container, the following information is displayed:
      • Type
      • Enabled
      • Status
      • Capacity
    • In the Inbound Stats and Outbound Stats panes, you can view detailed information on the inbound throughput, and outbound throughput.
    • The Client Stats pane lists ingest and network information.
    • The Recycle Bin pane shows whether this feature is enabled, the length of its retention period, the number of files it contains, and the number of logical bytes it is using. From here, you can also generate a report or restore the contents of the Recycle Bin.

Displaying container statistics by using the CLI

An alternate method for viewing container statistics is by using the QoreStor CLI command: stats --container --name <container name>

This command shows the following information:

Container Name			:<name of the container>
Container ID			:<ID associated with container>
Total Inodes			:<total number of data structures in container>
Read Throughput		:<read throughput rate in Mebibytes or MiB/s for container>
Write Throughput		:<write throughput rate in MiB/s for container>
Current Files			:<current number of files in container>
Current Files Stubbed		:<current number of stubbed files in container>
Current Bytes			:<current number of ingested bytes in container>
Cleaner Status			:<current space reclamation process status for selected container>
Current Recycle Bin Files	:<when enabled, current number of files in Recycle Bin>
Current Recycle Bin Logical Bytes :<when enabled, current number of logical bytes in Recycle Bin>
Current Immutable Files	:<current number of files for which immutability is set, RDA containers only>
Current Immutable Logical Bytes:<current number of immutable logical Bytes>
