About Export Tool

Use Export Tool to export the monitoring data (statistics) shown in the Monitor Performance window to text files. You can also use Export Tool to export monitoring data on remote copy operations performed by TrueCopy, Universal Replicator, and global-active device. After exporting monitoring data to text files, you can import that data into desktop publishing applications, such as Microsoft Word, or into spreadsheet or database applications for analysis.

Example of a text file

The following example is of a text file imported into spreadsheet software.

 In this LU_IOPS.csv file, the last four digits of a table column heading (such as 0001 and 0002) indicate a LUN. For example, the heading CL1-A.00(1A-G00).0001 indicates the port CL1-A, the host group ID 00, the host group name 1A-G00, and the LUN 0001.

If you export monitoring data about concatenated parity groups, the resulting CSV file does not contain column headings for the concatenated parity groups. For example, if you export monitoring data about a concatenated parity group named 1-3[1-4], you will not be able to find 1-3[1-4] in column headings. To locate monitoring data about 1-3[1-4], find the 1-3 column or the 1-4 column. Either of these columns contains monitoring data about 1-3[1-4].
