“Significant” Object Attribute Differences

SAV also compares a set of attributes by using special heuristics specific to certain attributes, so that differences SAV considers “significant” is shown.

If an attribute value in one of the snapshots exceeds a minimum (or maximum) threshold and its value changes by at least a certain percentage between the snapshots being compared, then SAV presents this in the comparison results.

The following table shows special object attribute differences.

“Significant” Object Attribute Differences in SAV
Object	Object Attributes Compared
Server	Load average, percentage of free memory on a server, percentage of free swap memory
Server’s file system	Percentage of free space
Process families	Number of open files, total number of all related connections, total count of process family member connections
NFS Export on NAS Filer	Percentage of free space

For more information on the heuristics used to calculate what is considered a significant difference, see Significant scan result difference heuristics.
