system manager performance data other

leedm — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 11:29:19 GMT

Hello.
I have a question about the system manager.

When I download the performance of the system manager, there are read, write, and other parts.
However, the proportion of other in the IOPs portion of our customer's data is applied too large.
What does the value of other mean?

In addition, from which value can the latency value be considered to be delayed?
When monitoring latency values, at what point should I tell the customer that it can affect them?

These answers are literally in our Perf KBs:

Thank you for checking the contents. In the throughout part, the other value is all written as 0, so what does the other in the throughput mean?

If you mean bytes/second, other IOPS don't transfer read/write data so it will be 0 bytes/second. That is expected.
