Viewing Quota Consumption by Users, IAM Roles and Groups

Viewing Quota Consumption in VAST Web UI

  1. From the left navigation menu, select Element Store and then Quotas to open the Quotas page.

  2. Right-click a quota for which you want to view consumption details and select View.

  3. In the dialog that opens, go to the tab for the type of quota accounting you need: Users Accounting , IAM Roles Accounting, or Groups Accounting.

    The Users Accounting , IAM Roles Accounting and Groups Accounting tabs display a list of all users, IAM roles or groups respectively 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, IAM role or group:

    Identifier

    The name of the user, IAM role or group, the user's UID, the IAM role ID, 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.

    Under Percent:

    Capacity

    The percentage of the user, IAM role or group capacity hard limit that the user, IAM role or group has consumed in the directory, if such a hard limit is defined for them.

    Files & Directories

    The percentage of the user, IAM role or group hard limit for files and directories that the user, IAM role or group has consumed in the directory, if such a hard limit is defined for them.

    Under Usage:

    Capacity

    The capacity used by files or directories under the quota directory that are owned by the user, IAM role or group.

    Files & Directories

    The number of files and directories under the quota directory owned by the user, IAM role or group.

    Under Soft Limit:

    Capacity

    The capacity soft limit defined for the user, IAM role or group, if defined.

    Files & Directories

    The files and directories soft limit defined for the user, IAM role or group, if defined.

    Under Hard Limit:

    Capacity

    The capacity hard limit defined for the user, IAM role or group, if defined.

    Files & Directories

    The files and directories hard limit defined for the user, IAM role or group, if defined.

    Grace Period

    The grace limit defined for the user, IAM role or group, if defined.

    Time left

    If a grace period is configured for the user, IAM role or group, and the user, IAM role 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, IAM role or group will be blocked from writing to the directory.
