FSx metrics

Amazon FSx makes it easy and cost effective to launch, run, and scale feature-rich, high-performance file systems in the 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.

Many of the collected metrics from FSx 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.

The following table lists some of the metrics collected for these entities. To see the FSx metrics in the Metrics Explorer, type AWS.FSx in the search box.

Metric Units Description
sw.metrics.healthscore Percent (%)

Health score. A health score provides real-time insight into the overall health and performance of your monitored entities. The health score is calculated based on anomalies detected for the entity, alerts triggered for the entity's metrics, and the status of the entity. The health score is displayed as a single numerical value that ranges from a Good (70-100) to Moderate (40-69) to Bad (0-39) distinction.

To view the health score for FSx entities in the Metrics Explorer, filter the sw.metrics.healthscore metric by entity_types and select awsfsx.

AWS.FSx.CapacityPoolReadBytes Count

The total number of bytes read from the capacity pool by clients.

The number of write operations performed on the capacity pool by clients.

AWS.FSx.ClientConnections Count The total number of active connections between clients and the file server.
AWS.FSx.CompressionRatio ratio Average ratio of compressed storage usage to uncompressed storage usage.
AWS.FSx.CPUUtilization Percent (%)

The average percentage utilization of your file server’s CPU resources.

AWS.FSx.DataReadBytes bytes

Total number of bytes for file system read operations.

AWS.FSx.DataReadOperations Count

Total number of read operations.

AWS.FSx.DataReadOperationsPercent Percent (%)

The percentage of read operations performed by clients on the file system.

AWS.FSx.DataReadOperationTime seconds (s)

Total time spent within the file system for read operations (network I/O) from clients accessing data in the volume.

AWS.FSx.DataReadThroughputPercent Percent (%)

The percentage of network throughput utilized for read operations.

AWS.FSx.DataWriteBytes bytes

Total number of bytes for file system write operations.

AWS.FSx.DataWriteOperations Count

Total number of write operations.

AWS.FSx.DataWriteOperationsPercent Percent (%)

The percentage of write operations performed by clients on the file system.

AWS.FSx.DataWriteOperationTime seconds (s)

Total time spent within the file system for fulfilling write operations (network I/O) from clients accessing data in the volume.

AWS.FSx.DataWriteThroughputPercent Percent (%)

The percentage of network throughput utilized for write operations. It measures how much of the available write throughput capacity is being used.

AWS.FSx.DeduplicationSavedStorage bytes The average amount of storage space saved by data deduplication, if enabled.
AWS.FSx.DiskIopsUtilization Percent (%)

The average disk IOPS between your file server and storage volumes, as a percentage of the provisioned IOPS limit determined by the storage volumes.

AWS.FSx.DiskReadBytes bytes

Total number of bytes for read operations that access storage volumes.

AWS.FSx.DiskReadOperations Count Total number of read operations for the file server accessing storage volumes.
AWS.FSx.DiskThroughputBalance Percent (%) The average percentage of available burst credits for disk throughput for the storage volumes.
AWS.FSx.DiskThroughputUtilization Percent (%) The average disk throughput between your file server and its storage volumes, as a percentage of the provisioned limit determined by the storage volumes.

AWS.FSx.FilesCapacity Count The total number of files (or inodes) that can be created on the volume.
AWS.FSx.FileServerCacheHitRatio Percent (%) The ratio of cache hits to the total number of cache requests. A higher cache hit ratio indicates better performance as more data is served from the cache rather than from the disk.
AWS.FSx.FileServerDiskIopsBalance Percent (%) The average percentage of available burst credits for disk IOPS between your file server and its storage volumes.
AWS.FSx.FileServerDiskIopsUtilization Percent (%) The average disk IOPS between your file server and storage volumes, as a percentage of the provisioned limit determined by throughput capacity.
AWS.FSx.FileServerDiskThroughputBalance Percent (%) The average percentage of available burst credits for disk throughput between your file server and its storage volumes.
AWS.FSx.FileServerDiskThroughputUtilization Percent (%) The average disk throughput between your file server and its storage volumes, as a percentage of the provisioned limit determined by throughput capacity.
