Whats New The ST_FREE metric was added to expose the total available capacity (not consumed)
Changes and ImprovementsThe collection process has been improved to perform optimized queries
The first sample values of metrics now display the actual values instead of zeros
STOCONT Dataset
New metrics were added in the STOCONT dataset for controllers
STOGLB Dataset
The ST_CONFIG_SUM metric that was reporting on the available capacity (not consumed) nowexposes the Total Capacity
The ST_FREE metric now exposes the available capacity
Size is no more exposed by the ST_CONFIG_SUM_RAW metric but by the ST_RAW metric
New metrics were added in the STOGLB dataset for storage systems storage pools andvolumes
The ST_POOL_TYPE metric now uses the vendor terminology to define the Storage Pool typeThe possible values are Disk Group RAID Group Traditional Pool and Thin Pool
The Attached Hosts Number (ST_HOSTCNT) metric is now calculated at the system level toavoid duplicates
STOSSW Dataset
New metrics were added in the STOSSW dataset for ports
SY SDSK Dataset
The BYDISK_TYPE metric was added in the SYSDSK dataset to expose the type of disk (eg SSDSATA etc)
The disk transfer rate (BYDISK_RESPONSE_TIME metric) is now exposed in milliseconds
Fixed IssuesUnexpected error messages appeared in the console when log level was set to 1-Light
The capacity metrics Size Capacity Available Capacity Consumed Capacity andSubscribed Capacity are now always available for storage pools
Due to a saver issue some metrics were ignored on loading
