My managers like to be able to send colourful graphs to customers so I have started to use netapp harvest and am finding it really useful.
Colourful graphs and blinking lights that people have no idea what they mean... yeah. I know. I guess I'm just tired of that phenomenon
I'm mostly interested in system knowledge and actually understanding its behaviour. Most managers are (of course) not. So why would they like to see graphs and numbers they have no idea about the meaning of..? A: because it looks cool.
And I suppose there's always the reverse usefulness: those numbers and graphs can be used by me/you (us) to prove that the performance problem in the environment is not a storage problem so you can say "please go away and look for someone else to blame"
