A storage administrator must find the capacity of its ECS namespaces for a specific period of time. Which ECS Portal Monitor page shows the details?

Question

Options

• ANodes & Data Disks
• BCapacity utilization
• CMetering
• DStorage efficiency

• A
  7% (2)
• C
  90% (26)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Metering is the correct ECS Portal Monitor page because it is specifically designed to report namespace-level capacity usage across configurable time periods, making it the go-to tool for tracking storage consumption per namespace for billing, chargeback, or capacity planning purposes.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Nodes & Data Disks - Shows hardware-level health and status of physical nodes and drives, not logical namespace capacity.
• B. Capacity Utilization - Displays aggregate cluster-wide storage usage, not broken down by individual namespace or time range.
• D. Storage Efficiency - Reports on data reduction metrics like compression and deduplication ratios, unrelated to namespace capacity over time.

Memory tip: Think "Metering = Measuring usage per namespace over time" - just like a utility meter tracks your consumption for a billing period, ECS Metering tracks namespace consumption for a specific period.
