The StorageInfoQuotaObserver cell

The StorageInfoQuotaObserver keeps track on spaces for all attached pools. The space granularity is based on the StorageInfo. It records precious, total, pinned, free and removable spaces of currently available pools. Pools, not active are not counted. Spaces may be queried by pool, storageinfo or link. For link queries, additional, link specific information is provided for convenience.

Parameter setter commands

These commands allow to customize the behaviour of the StorageInfoQuotaObserver. They many determine how often information is updated and how aggressive the cells queries other services for updates. The meaning of the set pool/poolmanager query interval is obvious. Because of the fact, that the number of pools to query can be rather large, the cell allows to send the space update queries in junks with some time inbetween. The junk size is set by set pool query steps and the break between sending junks by set pool query break. If no pool information arrived within the set pool validity timeout the corresponding pool is declared OFFLINE and the spaces are no longer counted.
