Storage Monitoring

For storage monitoring use the Storage Monitor (SMonitor). This is an internal tool for monitoring storage usage and user quotas across VAST Data, NetApp, and Unity systems. More about Storage Monitor here.

Note
The system is available only from within the Technion network (or via VPN). Access to SMonitor is restricted to registered cluster users and administrators.
