1. Agent Information:

•Disk Space Utilization: Monitoring the disk space usage of all agents ensures that sufficient storage is available for operations and prevents potential disk space-related issues.

•Memory Utilization: Tracking memory usage helps identify any memory-intensive processes or potential memory leaks on the Agents, ensuring optimal performance.

2. Job Information:

•Watch Set Growth: Monitoring the growth of watch sets helps track changes in the data being monitored by PeerGFS, enabling proactive management of storage requirements and system resources.

•Overall Performance: Analyzing job performance metrics provides insights into the efficiency and effectiveness of data replication and synchronization processes, helping optimize system performance.

3. Overall Peer Management Center Information:

•Disk Space and Memory Utilization: Monitoring the PMC's disk space and memory usage ensures the smooth operation of the management console and helps prevent performance degradation due to resource constraints.

•Queue Backlogs: Tracking queue backlogs helps identify any bottlenecks or delays in job processing, enabling timely intervention to maintain system efficiency.

•Quarantine Counts: Monitoring the number of files in quarantine provides insights into potential issues with data integrity or synchronization errors, facilitating prompt resolution to maintain data consistency.
