Monitor SFS Turbo in Huawei Cloud
Site24x7 continuously monitors your SFS Turbo metrics, giving your team real-time visibility into data and metadata I/O throughput, IOPS, client connection counts, storage capacity utilization, and inode consumption across your high-performance file system instances.
Use cases
Throughput protection: Track Data Read, Write, and Total IO Bytes to detect when your SFS Turbo instance approaches its throughput ceiling. Alert on Total IO Bytes to scale up the file system tier before I/O saturation causes application stalls.
Capacity safeguard: The Used Capacity Percent and Used Inode Percent alerts provide warnings for storage exhaustion at both data and metadata levels.
Connection visibility: Client Connections tracks simultaneous NFS mounts accessing the file system. Unexpected spikes or drops can signal runaway mounts, misconfigurations, or connectivity loss — alerts respond before affected workloads lose file system access.
Setup and configuration
SFS Turbo resources are auto-discovered and monitored during the Huawei Cloud integration. To enable monitoring, follow the steps below:
- Navigate to Cloud > Huawei > Add Huawei Monitor. Follow the steps to add a Huawei Cloud monitor.
- While adding or editing a Huawei Cloud monitor, select SFS Turbo from the Service/Resource Types drop-down and click Save.
- Navigate to Cloud > Huawei, select the created Huawei monitor, and click SFS Turbo.

Dependency View
The Dependency View tab maps SFS Turbo groups based on your customer requirements. Contact support and share your requirements to help us prioritize dependency mapping for the SFS groups in your account.
Common monitored data
Outages
The Outages tab displays outage details, including start time, end time, duration, and related comments, to help track and review downtime events.
Notes
The Notes tab enables you to record descriptions, operational context, runbook steps, recent changes, and reference links to keep your team informed. Format the content using markdown syntax.
Log Report
The Log Report tab provides a unified view of the respective monitor's log status and supports CSV downloads for analysis and auditing.
Alert Logs
The Alert Logs tab provides a comprehensive list of all alerts generated by the monitor. Easily track key details such as the monitored resource name, alert trigger time, root cause, and notification status. Learn more.
Threshold configuration
You can configure thresholds and alerts for all SFS Turbo metrics to proactively detect performance degradation or connection issues.
- Go to Admin > Configuration Profiles > Threshold and Availability.
- Create or edit your Threshold Profile for SFS Turbo.
- Assign the profile to the respective monitors to trigger alerts.
IT Automation
Use Site24x7's IT Automation to resolve common issues with SFS Turbo performance:
- Go to Admin > IT Automation Templates. Then, click Add Automation Templates.
- Create an automation rule by selecting the automation Type (e.g., Server reboot, clear queue).
- Map the created rules to the SFS Turbo, for automatic execution during alerts.
Configuration rules
Use Configuration Rules to simplify bulk setup across instances. Automatically assign Threshold Profiles, Notification Profiles, Tags, and Monitor Groups when new monitors are discovered.
