Viewing Basic Information of a Bucket

On OBS Console, you can view a bucket's details, including basic bucket information, usage statistics, alarms, process flows for common scenarios, domain name details, FAQs, basic configurations, and others. You can also export all buckets of the current account and view their basic information in the exported Excel file.

Viewing Bucket Details

  2. In the bucket list, click the bucket you want to operate to go to the Objects page.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose Overview.
  4. On the top of the page, view the bucket information, including the bucket name, storage class, data redundancy policy, region, and creation time.

    Table 3 Bucket usage metrics

    Metric

    Description

    Storage

    Measures the storage occupied by all objects, Standard objects, Infrequent Access objects, and Archive objects in the bucket.

    Traffic

    Total Download Traffic: It measures the total download traffic for the bucket in the current month. Both intranet and Internet traffic are covered.

    Download Traffic (Intranet): It measures the total intranet download traffic for the bucket in the current month.

    Download Traffic (Internet): It measures the total Internet download traffic for the bucket in the current month.

    Total Upload Traffic: It measures the total upload traffic for the bucket in the current month. Both intranet and Internet traffic are covered.

    Upload Traffic (Intranet): It measures the total intranet upload traffic for the bucket in the current month.

    Upload Traffic (Internet): It measures the total Internet upload traffic for the bucket in the current month.

    Requests

    Total: It measures the total number of requests (including PUT, POST, COPY, LIST, GET, HEAD, and DELETE requests) made for the bucket and the objects in it in the current month.

    GET: It measures the total number of GET and HEAD requests made for the bucket and the objects in it in the current month.

    PUT: It measures the total number of PUT, POST, COPY, and LIST requests made for the bucket and the objects in it in the current month.

    DELETE: It measures the total number of DELETE requests made for the bucket and the objects in it in the current month.

    Month-over-month growth

    It compares the current month's data with the previous month's data, showing the data increase or decrease.

    Take the comparison between January 2023 and February 2023 as an example.

    Month-over-month (MoM) growth = (Current month's data – Previous month's data)/Previous month's data x 100%

    Suppose the Standard storage in January was 60 MB and that in February was 120 MB, the MoM growth was calculated as follows: (120 – 60) ÷ 60 x 100% = 100%. This tells that the Standard storage in February was doubled compared to January.

    The data is not displayed in real time. There may be approximately one hour delay.

    To view the number of requests and traffic statistics, you must have the CES ReadOnlyAccess permission or a higher Cloud Eye permission for the region where the bucket is located.

    Usage Statistics is only available for buckets that support usage analysis.

  7. In the Alarms area, view the alarm severities and the alarm number of each severity. By clicking View details, you can explore more on the Alarm Records page of Cloud Eye.
