Issue/Introduction

When importing large tiles in ops manager ui, it takes long time. People have concerns whether the upload is slower than expected or is even stuck there.

Environment

Product Version: 2.10

Resolution

This article shows a way to check the uploaded file size, so we can know its current status and calculate the upload speed if you like.
1.) Log in the ops manager vm
2.) Issue the following command 

sudo lsof -u tempest-web|grep -v postgres|egrep 'var|SIZE'

3.) Pay attention to the line appended with "deleted". The uploaded size is shown in the column "SIZE/OFF". It is 5207146965 in this sample. So if the total size of the tile is 10GB, you will know approximately 50% data has been uploaded.
