dfm perf view retrieve with custom views

scheckel — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:53:52 GMT

Hi ,

my customer wants to get some counters and put it into an external system to analyze it.

So he created a custom view with only necessary counters.

And retrieve fails:

dfm perf view retrieve -a ns4015 "KPI-StorageSystem" "2013-18-09 11:00:00" "2013-18-09 11:10:00"

Warning: Use of this command has been deprecated by 'dfm perf data retrieve' command.

Error: New custom views are not supported by this comamnd.

Use "dfm perf counter-data get" command.

I think this should possible.

dfm perf view describe KPI-StorageSystem

View Name: KPI-StorageSystem

Applies To: Object type (filer)

Chart Details:

Chart Name: Counter

Chart Type: simple chart

Counters in this Chart:

Counter: nfsv3:nfsv3_avg_op_latency

Counter: nfsv3:nfsv3_ops

Counter: nfsv3:nfsv3_read_latency

Counter: nfsv3:nfsv3_read_ops

Counter: nfsv3:nfsv3_write_latency

Counter: nfsv3:nfsv3_write_ops

Counter: cifs:cifs_ops

Counter: cifs:cifs_latency

Counter: cifs:cifs_read_latency

Counter: cifs:cifs_read_ops

Counter: cifs:cifs_write_latency

Counter: cifs:cifs_write_ops

Counter: system:cpu_busy

Counter: system:disk_data_read

Counter: system:disk_data_written

Counter: system:nfs_ops

Counter: system:net_data_recv

Counter: system:net_data_sent

Counter: system:read_ops

Counter: system:write_ops

Counter: system:nas_throughput

Counter: system:avg_processor_busy

Is this 7Mode or Cluster Mode ? If cluster mode we dont support any custom views, if 7Mode its supported.

BTW use the cli dfm perf data retrieve.

Yes its 7 mode, but why we can't retrieve the data from a custom view (KPI-StorageSystem)

the gui does it.

dfm perf view retrieve -a ns4015 "KPI-StorageSystem" "2013-18-09 11:00:00" "2013-18-09 11:10:00"

Is ther a command to use "dfm perf data retrieve" with only the counter in a view.

Its much mor work with dfm perf data retrieve du we have to specify the nodes and the particular counters.

Best wishes,

Markus.

Hi, scheckel.

I want to do the same but I got the following same error message and can't get counter data in my custom view.

Error: New custom views are not supported by this comamnd.

Use "dfm perf counter-data get" command.

Anyone knows how to get counters data in a custom view?

My system is 7 mode too.

hi, Adai.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for your instruction on the DFM Cli. Now I can get performance data in a Custom View with DFM Cli.

I created a batch fine using the Cli. It saves my time.

Thanks so much.
