In the Pure Storage FlashArray GUI, granular performance metrics (Latency, IOPS, Bandwidth) are located under the Analysis > Performance tabs. When you navigate to the Volumes sub-tab and select a specific volume, Purity displays a unified line graph tracking the performance of that volume over time.
By default, the Latency graph simultaneously plots Read , Write , and Mirrored Write (for volumes participating in an ActiveCluster or synchronous replication pod) latencies. Because these lines can overlap or compress the Y-axis (especially if one metric spikes), isolating a specific metric requires interacting with the graph ' s legend.
To view the exact, un-obscured latency for standard write requests to that volume, the administrator should click on " Read " and " Mirrored Write " in the chart ' s legend. This deselects those metrics, effectively hiding their lines from the graph and automatically rescaling the view to exclusively display the host write latency.
Here is why the other options are incorrect:
Health > Network (A): The Health tab is used to check the hardware status of the physical controller ports, including link state and errors. While you might see port-level throughput or queue depth here, it does not provide volume-specific application latency.
Storage > Volumes > Details (B): The Storage tab is primarily used for provisioning and configuration management. Clicking on a volume here will show its size, data reduction ratio, snapshot policies, and connected hosts, but it does not provide detailed interactive performance graphs.
