Description

This template is applicable for Cluster Array component in VPLEX. It monitors connectivity status and failover of that Cluster Array.

Prerequisites

The device should be added using integrations. The corresponding resource should exist.

Gateway should be up and running. Storage Array should be reachable from Gateway. Storage Array and its resources should be in managed state.

Metric Parameters

Metric Parameters
ParameterDescription
Frequency
  • Frequency is the interval in which you want to probe and collect metric data from the target device/resource
  • Frequency is defined in minutes (min).
    • Warning ThresholdIf the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Warning Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
    Critical ThresholdIf the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Critical Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
    AlertThe alert value can be set to either Yes or No. If it is Yes, then an alert message is sent to the user.
