Viewing Usage Metrics for Storage

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. Open the navigation menu, click Governance & Administration, and then click Control Center.
     Your current region is displayed at the upper right of the Console. If your tenancy is subscribed to several regions, you can switch regions by selecting a different region from the Regions menu.
  2. To find the usage details for block, object, or file storage, click Block Storage, Object Storage, or File Storage Service on the left side of the page.
     Note
     
     The Region Details page for Block Storage, Object Storage , or File Storage service appears. If the Region Details page doesn't display any information, select a different compartment from the Compartment list (on the left side of the page).
  3. Select or remove an option from the Filter by consumption type filter bar menu to filter existing data. All filter options are enabled by default.
  4. Find the current usage and the available capacity in TiB from Current snapshot - <latest available date>: graph. The usage is calculated based on an hourly usage average for a specific day. It includes the following details:
     Note
     
     When the filter options change in step 3, the Current snapshot data change.

     • Overhead usage (blue): Represents the capacity required to manage storage. It displays the capacity required for synchronous replication and high availability fail-over that keeps the data safe and available.
     • OCI usage (red): Represents only control plane usage, and there is no usage consumed for PaaS services.
     • Customer usage (green): Represents the actual usage and no extra usages.
     • Available capacity (gray): Represents the total capacity that's available to you in a specific environment. No usage is consumed by the fault domain.
  5. Click the Usage breakdown to view the usage categorization by tenancy.
     Note
     
     When the filter options change in step 3, the Usage breakdown data change.
  6. Under Organic forecast, switch on the Enable toggle to enable organic forecasting and find the usage projection based on heuristic, which includes overhead usage, OCI usage, customer usage, and available capacity. This projection can be used during the planning cycle to find the rate of consumption and decide on usage expansion. See Managing Organic Forecasting.
     When you enable organic forecast, the organic forecast chart is displayed next to the Historical chart. These two charts are separated by a line for comparison with the projected data.

     When selecting the start or end date, you can also select a range of periods such as one month (1M), two months (2M), and so on.

  7. View the historical data that represents the consumption of all overhead usage, OCI usage, customer usage, and available capacity in the last 30 days.

     You can select a range of periods or a custom period and find the equivalent data. The default time is the past 30 days. Hover over the historical chart to find the usage details in TiB compared to the total capacity on a specific date for block, object, or file storage.

  8. To export the historical chart data and usage consumption data from the Console into an Excel, CSV, or PPTX format, select Export (on the top right side of the page).
  9. From the export menu, select a format from the list of options and then click Confirm.
