Measures reported by PzCloudStatTest

Panzura CloudFS was engineered to closely manage how files are utilized and stored to provide seamless, high-performance, and robust multicloud data management. Panzura CloudFS is designed to transition all data into the cloud as quickly as possible and hence, offers high speed data transfer rates to and from the cloud. Data is always committed and uploaded to the cloud before becoming hot, warm, or cold based on any recent read activity. Any user, at any location, can view, access and download files created by anyone, anywhere, at any time.

If any of these file operations fail or take longer than usual, it can cause critical changes to be lost. Consequently, user productivity will be badly affected and user confidence in Panzura CloudFS will be shaken. This is why, it is imperative that administrators spot failures in such operations well before users notice. This is exactly what the PzCloudStatTest helps administrators achieve!

Periodically, this test emulates a file upload and download operations to and from the cloud. In the process, the test proactively alerts administrators to the failure in a file operation, thereby enabling them to investigate and resolve the bottleneck before users complain.

Outputs of the test: One set of results for the target appliance being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Files_To_Cloud Indicates the total number of files that were succesfully uploaded to the cloud storage during the last measurement period. Number

 

Files_Failures_To_Cloud Indicates the total number of times the file uploads to the cloud storage failed during the last measurement period. Number

A high value for this measure is a cause for concern.

Files_From_Cloud Indicates the total number of files that were succesfullydownloaded fromthe cloud storage during the last measurement period. Number

 

Files_Failure_From_Cloud Indicates the total number of times the file downloads from the cloud storage failed during the last measurement period. Number

A high value for this measure is a cause for concern.
