DataIQ and FileSystemAnalytics
I have recently decided to deploy DataIQ (because my InsightIQ instance took a nose dive during an attempted upgrade and ruined the database) and I'm trying to understand how I can find parity between the two products.
The Storage Monitoring section seems to be pretty analogous to what came before it, albeit a little harder to navigate through.
The Data Management section is much more generic, and obviously aimed at a much wider audience, and non-Dell storage, which is great but it has its downsides; the Isilon/PowerScale FileSystemAnalytics job seems now to be absolutely redundant, which is a shame, because it was able to use the whole cluster to traverse the file system, rather than just having the single DataIQ system audit an entire cluster.
At the moment, I think I plan to just setup an export in my System zone to walk the majority of my /ifs tree where my user data resides.
Has anyone who has deployed DataIQ got any feedback, gotcha's or advice to share on what you wish you'd known in advance?

Hello NBI-Adam,
Here is a link to the Dell DataIQ Info Hub which has some useful guides and manuals. https://dell.to/3LqTJZg

Thanks Sam!
I have most of those documents printed and open on my desk!!
I really wanted to get a feel for the practical usage from a real life stance; theoretical knowledge is great and all but nothing beats experience.
Many Thanks,
Adam.
