The FlashArray Capacity dashboard displays capacity and storage information across all FlashArrays to help administrators monitor consumption levels. For example, the "FlashArray Capacity Colored by Utilization (%)" heat map widget displays a map of all arrays to help administrators quickly determine how large each array is relative to the other arrays, and how close an array is to reaching full capacity.
Widget Type: Heat map.
Object Type: Everpure FlashArray.
Metrics: Sized by Total Space Available/Colored by Capacity Utilization.
Purpose: Determine which arrays are near capacity.
Each rectangle in the heat map represents an array in the Everpure World.
The rectangle is sized by total physical usable space on the array relative to the other arrays, where the largest rectangle represents the array with the largest usable capacity. The rectangle is colored according to array fullness, represented by the percentage of the array's physical storage space occupied by reduced data and metadata.
VCF Operations uses the most recently collected data to generate the heat map values.
Click a rectangle and then click the Show Detail icon to drill down to the array details. Double-click a rectangle to view the details for the entire Everpure World.
The widget is configured as a provider to the Capacity Utilization (%) - Historical Trend sparkline chart widget.
Capacity Utilization (%) - Historical Trend
Click one or more arrays in the FlashArray Capacity Colored by Utilization (%) widget to display the sparkline data.
Widget Type: Sparkline.
Object Type: Everpure FlashArray.
Metrics: Capacity Utilization.
Purpose: View array utilization over a specified time range.
The sparkline is created by plotting the FlashArray data collected every five minutes over the last six hours. You can click the time range icon to view trends as far back as 1 year.
Widget Type: Heat map.
Object Type: FlashArray Volume.
Metrics: Sized by Used Space / Colored by Snapshot Percent of Total Space.
Purpose: Determine how much space you can reclaim by deleting the snapshots within a particular volume or by deleting the volume entirely.
Each rectangle in the heat map represents a volume belonging to an array in the Everpure World.
The rectangle is sized according physical space occupied by volume and snapshot data for the volume relative to the other volumes, where the largest rectangle represents the volume that takes up the largest amount of physical spaced occupied.
VCF Operations uses the most recently collected data to generate the heat map values.
Click a rectangle and then click the Show Detail icon to drill down to the volume details. Double-click a rectangle to view the details for the entire Everpure World.
The rectangle is colored according to the volume's total space occupied by snapshot data. The widget is configured as a provider to the Volume Snapshot Percentage of Total Raw Space - Historical Trend sparkline chart widget.
Volume Snapshot Percentage of Total Raw Space - Historical Trend
Click one or more volumes in the "Volume Total Raw Space Used Colored by Volume Snapshot Percentage of Total" widget to display the sparkline data.
Widget Type: Sparkline.
Object Type: FlashArray Volume.
Metrics: Snapshot Percent of Total Space.
Purpose: View the percentage amount of physical space occupied by snapshot data over a specified time range.
The sparkline is created by plotting the FlashArray data collected every five minutes over the last six hours. You can click the time range icon to view trends as far back as 1 year.
Widget Type: Top-N.
Object Type: FlashArray Volume.
Metrics: Used Space.
Purpose: View the top 25 volumes across all arrays in the Everpure World that occupy the largest amount of physical space that is not shared between volumes, excluding array metadata and snapshots.
The default time range of the Top-N graph is the last 30 days. The chart is created by calculating the average of all data points collected every 5 minutes over the last 30 days.
The widget is configured as a provider to the "Volume Raw Space Used (GB) - Historical Trend" sparkline chart widget.
Volume Raw Space Used (GB) - Historical Trend
Click one or more arrays in the Top 25 Volumes by Raw Space Used (GB) widget to display the sparkline data.

Object Type: FlashArray Volume.
Metrics: Used Space.
Purpose: View raw space usage for a “Top 25” volume over a specified time range.
The sparkline is created by plotting the FlashArray data collected every five minutes over the last six hours. You can click the time range icon to view trends as far back as 1 year.
Widget Type: Top-N.
Object Type: FlashArray Host.
Metrics: Used Space.
Purpose: View the top 25 hosts across all arrays in the Everpure World with the largest amount of physical space occupied by volume data that is not shared between volumes, excluding array metadata and snapshots.
The default time range of the Top-N graph is the last 30 days. The chart is created by calculating the average of all data points collected every 5 minutes over the last 30 days.
The widget is configured as a provider to the Host Raw Space Used (GB) - Historical Trend sparkline chart widget.
Host Raw Space Used (GB) - Historical Trend
Click one or more arrays in the Top 25 Hosts by Raw Space Used (GB) widget to display the sparkline data.
Widget Type: Sparkline.
Object Type: FlashArray Host.
Metrics: Used Space.
Purpose: View raw space usage for a “Top 25” host over a specified time range.
The sparkline is created by plotting the FlashArray data collected every five minutes over the last six hours. You can click the time range icon to view trends as far back as 1 year.
Widget Type: Top-N.
Object Type: FlashArray Volume.
Metrics: Data Reduction.
Purpose: View the top 25 volumes across all arrays in the Everpure World that have the highest data reduction ratios.
The default time range of the Top-N graph is the last 30 days. The chart is created by calculating the average of all data points collected every 5 minutes over the last 30 days.
Widget Type: Top-N.
Object Type: FlashArray Volume.
Metrics: Snapshot Space.
Purpose: View the top 25 volumes across all arrays in the Everpure World that have the largest physical space occupied by data unique to one or more snapshots.
