How to use "data retrieve -m max"

tlemke — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:08:29 GMT

Hi,

my customer is trying to get a the maximum IO peak within a specific period of time out of the dfm database. This is the command that he is using:

dfm perf data retrieve -o netapp14 -C volume:total_ops -b "2013-02-19 10:00:00" -e "2013-02-20 10:00:00" -s 3600 -m max

( -m The statistical computation. Valid values are min, max, mean and value_at_percentile.)

But the output seems to make no sense. As you can see he gets about 4400 IO at 14:01:24 and again about 4400 IO at 15:01:24. The max value reported at the end is between those timestamps at 14:16:07. But the value is 1.698.977 which is unrealistically high. Any ideas what goes wrong?

Timestamp netapp14:acs183_PARvg_2m:total_ops

Your --s 3600 here mean sample rate

Sample rate (in seconds). This interval will be used to consolidate

the output data. The available data will be split into regions as

specified by the sample rate and the last sample in each of those

regions will be displayed. Also used for window calculation for metrics.

Use -s 60 and you should be able to achieve what you want.
