Viewing Quota Consumption in VAST Web UI
From the left navigation menu, select Element Store and then Quotas to open the Quotas page.
Right-click a quota for which you want to view consumption details and select View.
In the dialog that opens, go to the tab for the type of quota accounting you need: User Accounting or Group Accounting.
The User Accounting and Group Accounting tabs display a list of all users/groups that own files/directories in the quota directory.
To filter the list, enter a text string into the Search field at the top of the Identifier or State column. The list is filtered responsively as you type. (Do not press Enter when searching because that will create the quota immediately.)
The following information is displayed for each user or group:
Identifier
The name of the user or group, the user's UID, or the group's GID.
NOTE: If a group does not show up, check that the Group login name field in the provider's Attribute mapping settings is set to a value that is valid for your environment.
State
The state of the quota:
OK. The quota was created. The directory is not exceeding any of the limits.
Failed. Quota creation failed.
Soft limit (capacity) exceeded. The current size of the quota directory has exceeded the specified capacity soft limit.
Soft limit (files and directories) exceeded. The combined number of files and directories has exceeded the directory's soft limit for files and directories.
Soft Limits both exceeded. Both the quota directory's size, and the number of files and directories in the quota directory have exceeded the quota soft limit.
Hard limit (capacity) exceeded. The capacity of the quota directory has exceeded the quota hard limit.
Hard limit (files and directories)exceeded. The combined number of files and directories have exceeded the quota hard limit for files and directories.
Hard Limits both exceeded. Both the capacity, and files and directories have exceeded the quota hard limit.
Grace Period expired. The soft limit was exceeded for the extent of the grace period.

Time left
If a grace period is configured for the user or group, and the user or group has exceeded the soft capacity limit, then this field shows how much time remains until the grace period expires, at which time the user will be blocked from writing to the directory.
Add rule
This is a shortcut button to navigate to the User Rules tab to add a rule for the user (see next step for details).
