The charts are mainly for exploring the data as opposed to a polished final graph showing I/O performance

A quick recap of the graphics:
298
+
There are 3 graphs
299
+
300
+
1. latency on log graph
301
+
2. latency on base 10 graph
302
+
3. throughput bar charts
303
+
304
+
On the log latency graph latency is shown for
305
+
306
+
* max latency - dashed red line
307
+
* average latency - solid black line
308
+
* 95% latency - dash black line with grey fill between 95% and average
309
+
* 99% latency - dash black line with light grey fill between 95% and 99% latency
310
+
* latency histogram - buckets represent % of I/Os for that latency.Each bucket is drawn at the y axis height that represents that latency. The buckets are also color coded to help more quickly identify
311
+
* background color - for each load test the background is coded one of 3 colors.
312
+
* ... yellow - % of I/Os over 10ms
313
+
* ... green - % of I/Os under 10ms
314
+
* ... blue - % of I/Os under 1ms
315
+
316
+
the idea being that the graphs should have all green. If the backgrounds are yellow then the I/Os are slow. If the backgrounds are blue then the I/Os represent a certain about of cached reads as opposed to physical spindle reads.

+
319
+
The second graph is latency on base 10 in order to more easily see the slopes of the increasing I/O latency with load.
320
+
On this second graph is also a bar chart in the background. The bars are color coded
321
+
322
+
* dark red - latency increased and throughput decreases
323
+
* light red - latency increased but throughput also increased
324
+
* light blue - latency actually got faster (shouldn't happen but does)
325
+
326
+
Ideally the bars are so small they aren't visible which means latency stays the same as load increases. The higher the bar the more the latency changed between tests
327
+
328
+
The third chart is simply the throughput, ie the MB/s. These bars have slices that represent the percentage of the I/O at the latency that corresponds to that color. The colors are defined in the legend of the top chart.
