[Q] InsightIQ Metrics

Hi tezuky,

I am not sure what version of InsightIQ you are using, but I did find an Isilon InsightIQ 3.1 Technical Note document that describes the following:

Blocking File System Events Rate

Displays the number of file blocking events occurring in the file system per second.

You can optionally break out this data by path or node

Contended File System Events Rate

Displays the number of file contention events, such as lock contention or read/write

contention, occurring in the file system per second. You can optionally break out this

data by path or node.

Locked File System Events Rate

Displays the number of file lock operations occurring in the file system per second.

You can optionally break out this data by path or node.

Hi sjones, thanks a lot as always. It helps !!

Hello,

Regarding the explanation in the document, these understanding are correct in a sense of general linux kernel terminology?

"lock contention events" means when a process tries but can't get the lock of a file since it's owned by other process.

"file blocking events" means when a process goes into sleep status waiting for the lock is released after failing to get the lock of a file.

Thanks in advance,

yu tezuka

Hi tezuky,

To my knowledge, yes they are based on linux kernel terminology as OneFS has a FreeBSD base so it is similar in many aspects.
