Figure 7 PixStor Analytics - Capacity view
Figure 8 provides a file count view with two very useful ways to find problems. The first half of the screen has
the top ten users in a pie chart and top ten file types and top ten filesets (think projects) in pareto charts, all
based on number of files. This information can be used to answer some important questions. For example,
what users are monopolizing the file system by creating too many files, which type of file is creating a
metadata nightmare or what projects are using most of the resources.
The bottom half has a histogram with number of files (frequency) for file sizes using 5 categories for different
file sizes. This can be used to get an idea of the files sizes used across the file system, which coordinated
with file types can be used to decide if compression will be beneficial.
