Announcing the release of the Dell PowerStore ZenPack for Virtana Service Observability (SO), formerly Zenoss. This is a subscription Zenpack that adds monitoring for Dell PowerStore devices and is available for SO Cloud and On-prem.
Documentation is available here: https://zenpacks.zenoss.io/zenoss/DellPowerStore/
This ZenPack adds monitoring for Dell PowerStore storage appliances and introduces a new device class: /Storage/Dell/PowerStore.
The ZenPack does the following:
- Gathers active alerts from the cluster and converts them into events. These events don't clear automatically, so make sure they're included in the events to age, or that someone closes them manually.
- Gathers status from most system components. Status values are converted into events, which clear when the status returns to healthy.
- Gathers metrics from the cluster and components using two methods. A limited set of metrics is queried directly against each component; by default, these are queried every five minutes. A larger set of metrics is gathered by requesting the device to create a metrics archive containing all data since the last archive. The system then parses the datapoints from the archive. This process is resource-intensive for both the monitored device and the monitoring system, so by default it runs hourly.
