4 Exporting Performance Monitor data

This chapter describes and provides instructions for using Export Tool to export Performance
Monitor data for your XP7 Storage system to the spreadsheet application and other applications.

About Export Tool

Use Export Tool to export the monitoring data (statistics) shown in the Monitor Performance
window to text files. After exporting monitoring data to text files, you can import that data into
desktop publishing applications, such as Microsoft Word, or into the spreadsheet application or
database applications for analysis. You can also use Export Tool to export monitoring data on
remote copy operations performed by Continuous Access Synchronous, Continuous Access
Synchronous MF, Continuous Access Journal, and Continuous Access Journal MF.
Example of a text file
The following example is of a text file imported into spreadsheet software.
NOTE: In this LU_IOPS.csv file, the last four digits of a table column heading (such as 0001
and 0002) indicate a LUN. For example, the heading CL1-A.00(1A-G00).0001 indicates the port
CL1-A, the host group ID 00, the host group name 1A-G00, and the LUN 0001.
If you export monitoring data about concatenated parity groups, the resulting CSV file does not
contain column headings for the concatenated parity groups. For example, if you export monitoring
data about a concatenated parity group named 1-3[1-4], you cannot find 1-3[1-4] in column
headings. To locate monitoring data about 1-3[1-4], locate the 1-3 column or the 1-4 column.
Either of these columns contains monitoring data about 1-3[1-4].
