DataProtect Storage Consumption by Cluster Chart
This chart report visualizes storage consumption for multiple Cohesity DataProtect clusters using a line chart, allowing users to monitor how much storage is used over a specified timeframe. Users can customize the report by selecting the units of measurement (e.g., TiB), the time period to analyze, and the granularity of the summary (such as by month). The report displays the average storage used by each cluster during each summarized period, enabling easy comparison and trend analysis across clusters. This structure supports proactive capacity planning and resource optimization by highlighting usage patterns and potential growth areas.
You can access this report from Backup Manager > Storage Utilization Reports > DataProtect Storage Consumption by Cluster Chart.
Table: DataProtect Storage Consumption by Cluster Chart
Column name | Description |
|---|---|
Cluster Name | The name of the DataProtect cluster being monitored. |
Period | The summarized time interval for reporting (e.g., Month or Date). |
Average Storage Used (in selected units) | The average amount of storage consumed by the cluster during the specified period, displayed in the user-selected units (e.g., TiB). |
Timeframe Start | The beginning date and time of the summarized reporting period. |
Timeframe End | The ending date and time of the summarized reporting period. |
This report provides actionable insights into storage utilization trends for DataProtect clusters, supporting capacity planning, cost management, and early detection of abnormal usage patterns. By enabling users to compare storage consumption across clusters and over time, it helps identify clusters nearing capacity, optimize resource allocation, and justify infrastructure investments. The customizable time frame and units make it adaptable for both high-level executive summaries and detailed operational reviews, solving the problem of fragmented or unclear storage usage data across large environments.
