Logging and reporting for universal share VPFS instance

Additional reporting and logs are generated for VPFS operations. You can use this information for performance analysis and troubleshooting. VPFS write-statistics are saved into the vpfsd history in JSON format.

This file is stored at <msdp_vol>/history/vpfsd-report location in vpfsX_YYYY-MM-DD format. For example, /msdp/vol/history/vpfsd-report/vpfs0_2023-05-01

Sample file:

{"timestamp":1682906052.752,"threadId":140498966533888,"UID":"ushare
-1","UpdateCounter:":4846,"SegmentNumber":39148,"DedupeRate":0.00,"AvgDedupe
TimePerSegment(ms)":0.534,"AvgSegmentSize":128792.79,"AvgWriteTimePerSegment(
ms)":0.003,"TotalWriteSize":5041984256} 

To configure the logging and reporting for VPSF instance

  1. Export the history report to a CVS file:

    /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_actions --action getVpfsHistoryStat --exportPath <export-path> [--targetDate <date> | --targetDateFrom <start-date> --targetDateTo <end-date>]

  2. Modify the reporting interval:

    /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_actions --action setVpfsConfigValue --key vpfsdReportInterval --value <newInterval>

    The reporting interval is 3600 seconds by default. Set it to 0 to disable logging and reporting for VPSF instance.
