We have 2 filers and on each one of them the Units used for the same counter are different, see below.

If there a way to control (set) the units. Is there a way when asking for it to specify in what units the answer should return?

Filer1> stats explain counters volume

Counters for object name: volume

Name: avg_latency

Description: Average latency in microseconds for all operations on the volume

Properties: average

Unit: microsec

Name: read_latency

Description: Average time for reads to the volume

Properties: average

Unit: microsec

Filer2> stats explain counters volume

Counters for object name: volume

Name: avg_latency

Description: Average latency in milliseconds for all operations on the volume

Properties: average

Unit: millisec

Name: read_latency

Description: Average time for reads to the volume

Properties: average

Unit: millisec

Thanks,

Y.

Unfortunately the unit depends on the ontap version the filer is running and is not adjustable. Starting in ontap 7.3 they changed the unit from millisec to microsec..
