Pool disk bandwidth widget

[shoulders]

Problem/Justification
When I set of a particular job, it would be useful to see how much data throughput my pools are doing.

Individual drives are irrelevant and can be seen through reporting (pools cannot)

This widget can also be used to quickly see if the pool is struggling under its currently workload.

A very similiar usage to the CPU and Network equivalents.

Impact
This would be a useful feature to have.

User Story
see above in justification.

Don’t forget to vote for your own feature request.

[shoulders]

I would love to, but I have not had any votes in 6 months.

[Arwen]

I am out of votes too.

[shoulders]

I proposed this as an alternative voting systems

@shoulders

p.s. your voting system could be done like this

Everyone has 1 vote per issue, they can use that vote either as a plus or a negative on each feature request.

This has benefits

• not limited to only voting on a few items
• a user can give feedback in a positive or a negative form allowing for better community feedback
• my solution will have much better engagement rates.

Loose the 3 month limit.

But there is no three-month limit. Each user gets a certain number of votes (I thought it was 10, but it might depend on trust level), that they can use as they wish. When a FR is closed, all users’ votes on that request are released back to those users. The stated intent is to make votes a scarce resource, so that users will vote for what’s most important to them.

This system isn’t perfect, of course; among its greater problems is that iX isn’t very timely in acting on the feature requests. But that’s the stated reason why it is what it is.

[shoulders]

all I know, it does not work. with my system a feature can get downvoted which can be just as important gauging the community thoughts towards an idea.

For instance I have 20+ feature ideas which I have been told each need posting separately.

[joeschmuck]

I reached out to @ABain to ask this question. It seems come come up periodically and I too thought when the feature was either declined or accepted, your vote was released. It doesn’t seem so.

@joeschmuck

I too thought when the feature was either declined or accepted, your vote was released

That’s supposed to be the case. But if iX never does either, well…

[SmallBarky]

Go to the FR category and then click on ‘My Votes’ at the top. It should show what votes you have associated with the posts. Do you have any votes listed with declined or accepted issues?

[shoulders]

mine are still on live ones, and I get 6 votes.

[joeschmuck]

@dan
You are correct. Once the recommended posting is either approved or tossed in the bit bucket, your vote should be release back to you. @ABain said they are getting ready to process some feature requests. I would not expect this to happen right away, but they are aware.

[SmallBarky]

I think you are better off with the command line and choosing how you want to monitor.

OpenZFS: Using zpool iostat to monitor pool performance and health - Klara...

[LarsR]

Wasn’t pool througput available on the dashboard once? I think I remember seeing that stat in the version of freenas/Truenas when I first started using it. But I can’t remember which version it was

[LarsR]

I just found this old feature request, so maybe yours will be closed as duplicate

Storage Pool performance metrics in GUI

Problem/Justification I just thought it may be helpful for other people to have the ability to see an entire overall picture of how a particular storage pool is performing. Read / Write date, etc. Having it for all the individual disks is nice and all, but manually selecting all the disks in a particular pool individually to add to the report graph sucks. Impact I think this would be a great thing for helping other Storage Admins in troubleshooting performance issues, and validating enhanceme…

that wiget thing they have in TrueNAS connect is the sort of widget.
