Reports > Gateway Metrics

The Gateway Metrics Report helps you monitor performance and throughput on your gateways, clients and file systems. Because you can see at a glance which gateways, clients or file systems are currently under or over-utilized, the Gateway Metrics Report is a useful tool for load balancing.

Note: The Gateway Metrics Report only displays Distributed LAN Client data.

The Gateway Metrics Report consists of five main sections:

Section Description
Two graphs at the top of the page Displays at-a-glance information for your gateways, clients and file systems. These graphs change according to your selection. A large banner above the graphs provides a summary of total read and writer throughput for all gateways.
Gateway Summary Displays a list of all gateways and statistics for each one.
Client Summary Displays a list of all clients and statistics for each one.
File System Summary Displays a list of all file systems and statistics for each one.
Settings Section where you can enable or disable metrics tracking for one or more gateways.

By default, the summary sections show the average overall throughput, average read throughput and average write throughput for each specific gateway, client or file system listed. You can customize the information displayed by adding columns or removing columns as described in Change Displayed Columns.

Note: You can collapse or expand any section by clicking the double arrow icon at the right side of the section title bar.

You can change the information displayed in the graphs or view detailed information rather than a summary as described in the following sections.
