The administrator needs to analyze IOPS, throughput, latency, and capacity utilization for a Cloud Volumes ONTAP cluster.

BlueXP digital advisor (D): This is the primary solution for this task. It is a proactive monitoring and predictive analytics service that provides comprehensive dashboards and reports on the health, performance, and capacity of NetApp systems. It explicitly tracks and displays metrics including IOPS, throughput, latency, and capacity trends, directly addressing all requirements of the scenario.

BlueXP tiering (B): This solution addresses the capacity utilization analysis requirement. The tiering service dashboard displays detailed information about active versus inactive (cold) data and overall capacity usage. Its core function of identifying inactive data is based on analyzing data access patterns over time, which is directly related to IOPS activity. Therefore, it provides visibility into both capacity and data activity.

A. BlueXP classification: This is a data governance service that scans and categorizes data based on content (e.g., PII), not a tool for monitoring storage performance metrics like IOPS or latency.

C. BlueXP edge caching: This solution is designed to improve file access performance for remote users by caching data locally. It does not provide analytics for the central Cloud Volumes ONTAP cluster itself.

1. BlueXP digital advisor: NetApp BlueXP Documentation, "Monitor the health of your hybrid multicloud with Digital Advisor." This document states, "Digital Advisor provides you with a comprehensive dashboard that displays the overall health of your hybrid multicloud... You can also view details about capacity, performance contracts, efficiency, and more." This confirms its role in monitoring all the required metrics.

2. BlueXP tiering: NetApp BlueXP Documentation, "Tiering cold data from ONTAP clusters." The documentation explains, "You can view information about the active and inactive data on your clusters and then easily set up data tiering." This confirms its function in analyzing capacity utilization and data activity (inactivity being a proxy for low/zero IOPS).

3. BlueXP classification: NetApp BlueXP Documentation, "What is BlueXP classification?" This source describes the service's function: "BlueXP classification scans your corporate on-premises and cloud data sources to map and get insights into the data." The focus is on data content, not performance.
