Cloud Parallel File Storage:CPFS capacity monitoring

Last Updated:May 08, 2026

Capacity monitoring shows the real-time storage usage and file count for a CPFS file system.

Prerequisites

Note

Capacity monitoring data provides real-time values and is not the metered data used for billing calculations. To view detailed metering data, see Billing inquiry.

Limitations

Capacity monitoring is supported only on CPFS 2.3.1 and later versions.

File storage console

  1. Log on to the NAS console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Monitoring Audit > Capacity Monitoring.

  3. In the top navigation bar, select a region.

  4. On the Capacity Monitoring page, view the capacity monitoring details for a target CPFS file system:

    1. From the File System Type drop-down list, select CPFS for Lingjun.

    2. Select the ID of the file system from the File System ID drop-down list.

    3. Select a time range, such as 1 Hour, 1 Day, 7 Day, 14 Days, Current Month, or Last Month. You can also select a custom date range. The range cannot exceed 30 days. To view capacity data for periods longer than 30 days, see Usage Query.

      The capacity monitoring page displays charts for two types of monitoring metrics: storage space and file count. For more information about each metric, see Monitoring metrics.

CloudMonitor console

  1. Log on to the CloudMonitor console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Cloud Service Monitoring.

  3. On the Cloud Service Monitoring page, enter CPFS and then click CPFS (Old version).

  4. On the CPFS (Old version) page, select a region. Then, in the Actions column for the target file system, click Monitoring Charts.

  5. On the Monitoring Charts details page, click the File system capacity tab to view the file system's capacity monitoring details.

Related operations

  • Set up alert rules to receive notifications when capacity exceeds a specified threshold, allowing you to quickly respond to and handle exceptions. For more information, see Configure Basic Alert Rules.

  • Create application groups for multiple file systems to manage their alert rules and monitoring data from a single location, which helps reduce management overhead. For more information, see Create Application Groups.
