You're welcome Steve.
I think there are a few new columns added to Spectrum Protect which pertain to Cloud Container Pools, which need to be captured. This is the output of the admin command against a Cloud Container Pool in Azure, where I've highlighted columns which I'd expect to be able to see if I wanted to know about a Cloud Container Pool (as well as the rest, which I think are already captured in Servergraph, if they aren't they should be). Some are unpopulated in this instance, but may not be in other cases:

Thanks Daniel! This is great feedback and you've even given us the command to use for collection.
I'm asking dev to review this, and will respond soon. If we don't have that column it we'll investigate adding it.
Thanks again!

Hi. I'd like to see a standard report in Servergraph which can easily show the capacity and utilisation of an IBM Spectrum Protect Cloud Container Storage Pool. Currently, as far as I can tell in Servergraph 9.2, the reports for Cloud Container Pools fail to show any details on the actual capacity or consumption, not even if I create a custom dashboard.
I believe that Servergraph needs to query the "Cloud Space Allocated (MB)" and "Cloud Space Utilized (MB)" columns in the storagepools table of the SP database. Servergraph should at least make sure all the information gathered by a "q stg" Spectrum Protect admin command are captured. It would also be essential to be able to plot this capacity and consumption over a historical period, much as Servergraph has been able to do for tape libraries.
