Performance Monitoring

Performance is monitored using the Statistics View dialog box. This measures
RAID controller performance using operations such as Reads, Writes, % Reads,
% Writes, Cache Hits, etc. A flexible settings page lets you choose which
controllers, targets, and operations to monitor. Past and present data can be
viewed as a line graph, pie graph, or bar graph. Settings can be saved and opened,
and statistical data can be captured, saved, and displayed.

Statistics View

The Statistics View dialog box is opened from the View menu or its icon as
shown in Figure 5-14.
