# Datastore Performance

This report aggregates historical data and shows performance statistics for a selected datastore across a time range.

- The **Summary** subsection provides information on type, capacity, free space, number of VMs and VM templates.
- The **Datastore IOPs**, **Datastore Usage**, **Datastore Latency** and **Datastore Errors** subsections provide information on IOPs, read/write rates, read/write latency and errors for the disk, including top 3 resource consuming VMs and resource usage trends.

  Click a VM name in the list of top 3 resource consuming VMs to drill down to performance charts with statistics on CPU, memory, disk and network usage for the VM.

## Report Parameters

You can specify the following report parameters:

- **Object**: defines the datastore to analyze in the report.
- **Period**: defines the time period to analyze in the report. Note that the reporting period must include at least one successfully completed *Object properties data collection* task for the selected datastore. Otherwise, the report will contain no data.
- **Business hours only**: defines time of a day for which historical performance data will be used to calculate the performance trend. All data beyond this interval will be excluded from the baseline used for data analysis.

## Use Case

The report helps you assess current load on your datastores and identify performance issues, such as excessive bus resets or high command aborts rates.
