How to read "isi statistics" outputs?

Does anybody know why "# isi statistics query --stats node.ifs.ops.in.rate" output is very different from that of "# isi statistics system --oprates --nodes"?

Both commands check imput "ops/s" of Isilon but it seems to me the two commands provide different information from the same Isilon.

# isi version

Isilon OneFS v7.2.1.4 B_MR_7_2_1_4_078(RELEASE): 0x70201500040004E:Sat Sep  3 10:29:28 GMT 2016    root@sea-build7-101:/b/mnt/obj/b/mnt/src/sys/IQ.amd64.release   clang version 3.3 (tags/RELEASE_33/final)

# isi statistics describe --stats node.ifs.ops.in.rate

Stat key             => Description

node.ifs.ops.in.rate => Operation input rate to /ifs on the node (ops/sec)

# isi statistics describe --stats node.ifs.ops.out.rate

Stat key              => Description

node.ifs.ops.out.rate => Operation output rate to /ifs on the node (ops/sec)

# isi statistics query --stats node.ifs.ops.in.rate  <= 1.

  NodeID node.ifs.ops.in.rate

       3              51924.4

average              51924.4

# isi statistics query --stats node.ifs.ops.out.rate

  NodeID node.ifs.ops.out.rate

       3               57626.8

average               57626.8

# isi statistics system --oprates --nodes  <=2.

In above example,  1. "# isi statistics query --stats node.ifs.ops.in.rate" shows several ops/sec counts but 2. "# isi statistics system --oprates --nodes" indicates there was no Ops/s in any protocol (SMB, FTP, HTTP, ISCSI, NFS, and HDFS).

How can we understand the different outputs?

Thank you,

"1" are the underlying filesystem operations, "ifs" as in /ifs is the actual filesystem of OneFS.

"2" are the protocol operations of the network "filesystems" like NFS and SMB

(both not to confuse with raw disk I/O operations)

There are usually internal "ifs" operations going on for the OneFS job engine

and other activities like syncing configs and so on, even when no NFS or SMB

requests are being served.

makes sense?

for my understanding the

ifs.ops.in.rate are operations on /ifs --> so the Counter also Counts backgroundjobs like flexprotect, smartpools etc.

isi statistics system --oprates --nodes does not show any protocol traffic the operations seem to be completely internal.

Thanks sluetze-san and Peter-san. Your answers help me understand the outputs.
