1About Rounding and Filtering
Data values displayed on some View for ClusterStor tables is rounded to facilitate visual presentation. This affects which data values will be included in the display when applying a range filter, which uses a visual slider to set a minimum and maximum value for the range. Consider the following example of the Write Bandwidth (/s) column of the OSTS Table. There are currently four jobs where the write bandwidth is displayed as 350MB before applying a range filter of 0B to 350MB.
After applying the range filter, only two jobs showing a write bandwidth of 350MB remain, as seen in the next figure. Jobs 2498173 and 2498177 have been filtered out. This is because the actual write bandwidth for these two jobs had been rounded down to 350MB for display purposes. Their unrounded values may have been 350.4MB and 350.2MB, respectively, so they were dropped from the filtered display.
Content Pane Banner

| Left side | Breadcrumbs | Depicts the current location within the application's navigation path. This is the only item displayed in the content pane banner for Grafana dashboards or Kibana pages. Note that the Home icon is always a live link in the displayed navigation path. Example:

| Center | Actions | Displays any actions the user may take to change the display. For example, the Filter icon on the Alarms or Jobs tables, or time range on the OSTs Table. Examples:
Note that after applying a filter, the number of applied filters will display next to the Filter icon. Select the small X icon to remove the applied filters.
