Accessing I/O Stats (sbcli)

Simplyblock's sbcli-pre tool provides the option to retrieve some extensive I/O statistics. Those contain a number of relevant metrics of historic and current I/O activities per device, storage node, logical volume and cluster.

These metrics include:

  • Read and write throughput (in MB/s)
  • I/O operations per second (IOPS) for read, write, and unmap
  • Total amount of bytes read and written
  • Total number of I/O operations since the start of a node
  • Latency ticks
  • Average read, write, and unmap latency

Accessing Cluster Statistics

To access cluster-wide statistics, use the following command:

Accessing cluster-wide I/O statistics
sbcli-pre cluster get-io-stats <CLUSTER_ID>

More information about the command are available in the CLI reference section.

Accessing Storage Node Statistics

To access the I/O statistics of a storage node (which includes all physical NVMe devices), use the following command:

Accessing storage node I/O statistics
sbcli-pre storage-node get-io-stats <NODE_ID>

More information about the command are available in the CLI reference section.

To access the I/O statistics of a specific device in a storage node, use the following command:

Accessing storage node device I/O statistics
sbcli-pre storage-node get-io-stats-device <DEVICE_ID>

More information about the command are available in the CLI reference section.

Accessing Storage Pool Statistics

To access logical volume specific statistics, use the following command:

Accessing storage pool I/O statistics
sbcli-pre storage-pool get-io-stats <POOL_ID>

More information about the command are available in the CLI reference section.

Accessing Logical Volume Statistics

To access logical volume specific statistics, use the following command:

Accessing logical volume I/O statistics
sbcli-pre volume get-io-stats <VOLUME_ID>

More information about the command are available in the CLI reference section.
