Amazon FSx for OpenZFS now provides additional performance metrics and an enhanced monitoring dashboard

Amazon FSx for OpenZFS now provides additional performance metrics for improved visibility into file system activity and an enhanced monitoring dashboard with performance insights and recommendations. You can use the new [Amazon CloudWatch](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/) metrics and dashboard to right-size your file systems and optimize performance and costs. [Amazon FSx for OpenZFS](https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/openzfs/) provides fully managed, cost-effective, shared file storage powered by the popular OpenZFS file system. FSx for OpenZFS delivers sub-millisecond latencies and up to 10 GB/s of throughput, along with rich ZFS-powered data management capabilities such as snapshots, data cloning, and compression. Previously, you could use performance metrics to monitor file system throughput and IOPS. Now, using additional performance metrics that include file server CPU, memory usage, storage disk throughput, and storage disk IOPS, you can optimize performance and costs across an even wider range of workloads, including read/write-intensive workloads such as Oracle databases and workloads with variable performance needs such as periodic reporting jobs. The enhanced monitoring dashboard provides actionable performance recommendations. For example, if your workload is disk I/O-limited you can increase file system disk I/0 performance with a few clicks. These additional performance metrics and updated monitoring dashboard are available now, at no additional cost, for all new file systems in all AWS Regions where Amazon FSx for OpenZFS is available. Existing file systems will support the new metrics and dashboard in the coming weeks during an upcoming maintenance window.
