The Top Actors page in the VAST Web UI shows you the most active client users, NFS exports and client machines. A graph for each category shows the bandwidth, IOPS and metadata IOPS for reads and writes from each user, export or client.
The data is sampled every minute with the count reset to zero after each sample. The metrics are average statistics. For example, IOPS is calculated as total IOs since the last sample time divided by seconds since the last sample time.
By default, the page shows the current top actors. From VAST Cluster 2.1.0 you can also view dates and times in the past.
