Reports Options - Monitoring Cluster Activity

We are providing you with some very useful reporting options in the dashboard of the cluster manager web portal. When you are logged in as a manager (in this case, Cluster Manager), you will see the Upload Report on the main dashboard screen. If you need more information, you can click the Reports shortcut on the right side of the dashboard view.

This opens the Reports section, where you can choose from several Report Options: Upload Report, Storage Statistics, Active Users, Guest Users, Node Performance, Bandwidth Usage, Server Agents, System Diagnostic Report and Audit Trace.

The Upload Report gives you information in graph form about file uploads.

The Storage Statistics Report gives you detailed information about how your storage is being used; file types, file and folder size, tenant storage use breakdown, how much storage your users are consuming, file type distribution, and file size distribution.

The Active Users Report shows you which users are currently using the system.

The Guest Users Report shows you what shares are currently active and what users are associated with those shares. You can use this report to edit share users' passwords and modify a few other settings for shares. You can also delete a share that you want to end which removes that users’ access to the share.

The Node Performance Report gives you information about the Database and Node Activities. The Database information provided includes: Total Configuration Records, Total File Change Records, Total File Index Records and Total Audit Trace Records.

Also, under Node Performance, there is a Purge Button. Clicking this option allows you to remove records from the database. Settings for this include option include: File Change Log (how far back to purge file changes), Audit Trace (how far back to purge audit trace info.), File Index (how far back to purge files).
