Thanks,

Hi,

you might want to have a look at this thread: https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-ONTAP-Discussions/introducing-picdat-simple-standalone-perfstat-data-parser-visualizer/m-p/134126/thread-id/29340

Hello,

Just out of curiousity, what particular performance data are you looking for?  We've gone down the perfstat gather path many times and honestly we've only found it useful when we're doing a correlation analysis of something like an Oracle AWR output against the NetApp perfstat.  If we're just digging into how things are performing, we've actually had more luck using OCPM to tell us where our high water marks are (in terms of IOPs/latency/etc) and then just do a combination of sysstat and statit commands during the problem periods.  Our most recent case involved gathering lots and lots of perfstats (along with various statit gathers) but the TSE came back and used the statit data to sleuth out what the issue was (long running raid-scrubs in that case).

Hope that helps - if you've got some specific performance issue examples you can provide maybe that would help folks give feedback on where to look (based on similar experiences).

Regards,

Chris

I am running 7-Mode but I asked a similar question of support and was told that the collected data is in ASCII so it is human readable.  At this point I have not found the data useful.

The latency graphs at MyAuitoSupport  have not been loading either.

Hope you  find something useful.

Looks like a title page with not much content from my view.  Thanks for the link though.  Maybe this is something ntap is working on.

Ryan -

You may not have sufficient priv to use the tool.

It might be partner/internal only.

I get documentation and a link tp launch the web based tool ...

I hope this response has been helpful to you.
