Elastic File System (EFS) metrics
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) provides simple, scalable file storage for use with Amazon EC2 instances in the AWS Cloud. Ensure your cloud platform is configured in SolarWinds Observability SaaS to collect this service's data. See Add an AWS cloud account. CloudWatch metrics must also be enabled for this service in the AWS Console for the metric data to be available.
Depending on the subscription pricing tier of your AWS account or its services, additional metrics may be available for this entity. To collect additional
Many of the collected metrics from AWS EFS entities are displayed as widgets in SolarWinds Observability explorers; additional metrics may be collected and available in the Metrics Explorer. You can also create an alert for when an entity's metric value moves out of a specific range. See Entities in SolarWinds Observability SaaS for information about entity types in SolarWinds Observability SaaS.

Health state. The health state provides real-time insight into the overall health and performance of your monitored entities. The health state is determined based on anomalies detected for the entity, alerts triggered for the entity's metrics, and the status of the entity. The health state is displayed as one of the following four states and colors: Good, Moderate, Bad, or Unknown. You can determine the impact of the alerts, anomalies, and statuses on the health of an entity type by going to Settings > Health, and selecting a specific entity type. You can also customize the impact. To view the health of AWS EFS entities in the Metrics Explorer, filter the |
AWS.EFS.BurstCreditBalance
|
bytes |
BurstCreditBalance. The average number of burst credits that a file system has. Burst credits allow a file system to burst to throughput levels above a file system’s baseline level for periods of time. |
AWS.EFS.ClientConnections
|
Count |
ClientConnections. The total number of client connections to a file system. When using a standard client, there is one connection per mounted Amazon EC2 instance. |
AWS.EFS.DataReadIOBytes
|
bytes |
DataReadIOBytes. The average number of bytes for each file system read operation. |
AWS.EFS.DataWriteIOBytes
|
bytes |
DataWriteIOBytes. The average number of bytes for each file system write operation. |
AWS.EFS.MetadataIOBytes
|
bytes |
MetadataIOBytes. The average number of bytes for each metadata operation. |
AWS.EFS.MeteredIOBytes
|
bytes |
MeteredIOBytes. The average number of metered bytes for each file system operation, including data read, data write, and metadata operations, with read operations metered at one-third the rate of other operations. |
AWS.EFS.PercentIOLimit
|
Percent (%) |
PercentIOLimit. How close a file system is to reaching the I/O limit of the General Purpose performance mode. Data is available only for file systems running with General Purpose performance mode. |
AWS.EFS.PermittedThroughput
|
bps |
PermittedThroughput. The maximum amount of throughput that a file system can drive. |
AWS.EFS.StorageBytes
|
bytes |
StorageBytes. The average size of the file system in bytes, including the amount of data stored in the EFS Standard and EFS Standard–Infrequent Access (EFS Standard-IA) storage classes. |
AWS.EFS.TimeSinceLastSync
|
seconds (s) |
TimeSinceLastSync. The average amount of time that has passed since the last successful sync to the destination file system in a replication configuration. |
AWS.EFS.TotalIOBytes
|
bytes |
TotalIOBytes. The total number of bytes for each file system operation, including data read, data write, and metadata operations. This is the actual amount that your application is driving, and not the throughput the file system is being metered at. |
