ScaleIO GUI??? Have we lost visibility?

I'm curious about whether or not in the recent versions, the ScaleIO GUI has actually lost functionality.  For example, I remember in previous versions and even when I do Google Image searches for ScaleIO GUI, I find lots of examples of having the ability to drill down to the server level, to combine multiple storage pools into a single storage overview, as well as many other things like seeing IO rates for all servers in a single screen, but for the life of me in the 1_32_402.1 release, I can't find any of this functionality.

Can anyone describe how to get this visibility or is it simply gone in the current version?  I really liked the "bucket" view, whereby all servers could be seen in one screen and I could see which ones were satisfying IO requests, etc.  Two examples below.  Top one is the current view, second one is the view I was used to.

Click on "Back-end" and you have the possibility to drill down.

The User Guide has extensive guidance on the GUI.

Hope that this helps you!

Definitely played with that, but the views from before appear to be gone.  I can't find the "bucket" view regardless of what I do.  While these new views do work and they do their job fine, from a dashboard perspective in an operation center or NOC, some of the previous views were much better.

Even from a sales perspective, the bucket view that allowed me to show data filling or draining SDS's during say a failure was a cool feature that many decision makers liked.

Anyway, thank you for the help, but I'm guessing this just means those old views are no longer with us

Thanks for the feedback, it's invaluable in the development of ScaleIO
