Details for each selection are provided in the document, Dell EqualLogic SAN Headquarters Version 3.1 Installation and
User’s Guide, available on eqlsupport.dell.com (login required). This document focuses on several panels to illustrate
methods for analyzing PS Series data.
1.4 Exporting data
SAN HQ enables data to be exported in csv format for one or more monitored groups. Open the csv file in a tool such as
Microsoft Excel
®
for external analysis. Specify the time range, groups, pools, members, volumes, network ports,
replicas, and disks when exporting the data.
1.5 Archiving data
SAN HQ allows data to be archived for one or more monitored groups. This enables you to use SAN HQ to view and
analyze the archived data offline, without needing access to the monitoring service.
You can also archive data to preserve detailed data for a particular time period.
Typically, a data archive is more valuable than exported data when working with Dell support to resolve issues since
the archive retains the original view of the data for offline analysis.
