Default Monitoring Configurations
The HPE MSL Tape Library integration provides default monitoring components that include:
- Global Device Management Policies
- Global Templates
- Global Monitors
These configurations are applied automatically upon installation. You can customise them for your environment by cloning the global versions and modifying thresholds or alerting behaviour.Recommendation: We recommend this customisation before installing the application to avoid unnecessary alerts and noise.
Default Global Device Management Policies
You can find the Device Management Policy for each Native Type at Setup > Resources > Device Management Policies.
Search using the suggested name in global scope:
{appName nativeType - version}
Example: hpe-msl-tape-library HPE CVTL Manager - 1 (i.e., appName = hpe-msl-tape-library, nativeType = HPE CVTL Manager, version = 1)
Default Global Templates
Templates are available at Setup > Monitoring > Templates.
Search using the suggested name in global scope:
{appName nativeType 'Template' - version}
Example: hpe-msl-tape-library HPE CVTL Manager Template - 1 (i.e., appName = hpe-msl-tape-library, nativeType = HPE CVTL Manager, version = 1)
Monitors can be found at Setup > Monitoring > Monitors.
Search using the suggested name in global scope:
{monitorKey appName nativeType - version}
Example: HPE CVTL Manager Alert Statistics Monitor hpe-msl-tape-library HPE CVTL Manager 1 (i.e., monitorKey = HPE CVTL Manager Alert Statistics Monitor, appName = hpe-msl-tape-library, nativeType = HPE CVTL Manager, version = 1)
The following monitors are configured by default:
| Native Type | Monitor Name | Polling Frequency (minutes) |
|---|---|---|
| HPE CVTL Manager | HPE CVTL Manager Alert Statistics Monitor | 30 |
| HPE MSL Library | HPE MSL Library Monitor | 15 |
| HPE MSL Drive | HPE MSL Drive Monitor | 15 |
| HPE MSL Tape | HPE MSL Tape Monitor | 15 |
| HPE MSL Host | HPE MSL Host Monitor | 15 |
The following metrics have alert thresholds enabled by default:
| Native Type | Metric | Warning Condition | Critical Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| HPE MSL Library | hpe_msl_library_Status | Value = 3 (Unknown) | Value IN (0, 2) (Failed or Degraded) |
