System: User Goals

As a User, I want to see the status of my physical environment so that I may early identify hardware issues.
As a User, I want to see the status of (peripheral) services, so that I may ensure connectivity is constant and reliable.
As a User, I want to receive software notifications, so that I may be aware of updates and upcoming releases.

Also enables multiple states to be displayed if needed (success, warning, error all together)

Dashboard Modules | System

Capacity: User Goals

As a User, I want to see which volumes are running out of space very soon, so that I may allocate more space for them.
As a User, I want to see which volumes are running out of space in the near future, so that I may plan (budget) for them.
As a User, I would like to see pool capacity usage, so that I may plan accordingly (grow/shrink pool, purchase/scale deep).

Dashboard Modules | Protection

Protection: User Goals

As a User, I want to see what local protection (snapshots) has failed, so that I may take action (object limits/space) for them.
As a User, I want to see what remote protection (disaster recovery) has failed, so that I may take action (network/scheduling) for them.
As a User, I would like to see well I am protected, so that I may adjust RPO objectives.

Performance: User Goals

As a User, I want to see which pools are experiencing high lOPs, so that I may identify potential high work loads.
As a User, I want to see which pool are experiencing high latency, so that I may identify lags in writes/reads to disk.
As a User, I would like an overview of trends, so that I may adjust workloads.
