Gauges task Performance gauges Performance Manager database task

You can view performance data collected from your storage system in gauge displays that you create. Multiple Device Manager (MDM) gauges are user-defined, graphical and tabular presentations of performance data and performance exceptions.

To view a performance gauge display, you must first create a performance data-collection task. The performance data that is collected from the Enterprise Storage Server and SAN Volume Controller storage devices and that is available in the Performance Manager database is the data from which the gauge displays are created.

You use the Gauges panel to select a device or a component of a device, and then select one or more performance metrics that you want to view for that device or device component. Custom definitions of either gauge type, once saved, can be displayed as long as information to populate the gauge display has not been deleted from the Performance Manager database.
