Monitoring and Reporting Features
Storage Manager provides the following reporting and monitoring features.
Threshold Alerts
The Threshold Alerts feature provides centralized administration and monitoring of threshold alert definitions. The types of usage metrics
that can be monitored are I/O, storage, and replication usage. The Storage Manager Data Collector collects the usage data from the
managed Storage Centers. Storage objects on the Storage Centers are assigned to threshold definitions and each threshold definition
contains one or more threshold values. When the value of a monitored metric reaches a threshold value, an alert occurs.

Chargeback
The Chargeback feature monitors storage consumption and calculates data storage operating costs. Chargeback can be configured to
charge for storage based on the amount of allocated space or the amount of configured space. When cost is based on allocated space,
Chargeback can be configured to charge based on storage usage, which is the amount of space used, or storage consumption, which is
the difference in the amount of space used since the last Chargeback run.
