Default Monitoring Configurations
IBM FlashSystem provides default monitoring components that include:
- Global Device Management Policies
- Global Templates
- Global Monitors
These configurations are applied automatically upon installation. You can customize them for your environment by cloning the global versions and modifying thresholds or alerting behaviour.
It is recommended to apply this customization prior to installing the application to prevent unnecessary alerts and reduce noise.
Default Global Device Management Policies
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}
Ex : ibm-flashsystem IBM FlashSystem Cluster - 1 (i.e, appName = ibm-flashsystem, nativeType = IBM FlashSystem Cluster, version = 1)
Default Global Templates
Templates are available at Setup > Monitoring > Templates.
Search using the suggested name in global scope.
{appName nativeType 'Template' - version}
Ex : ibm-flashsystem IBM FlashSystem Cluster Template - 1 (i.e, appName = ibm-flashsystem, nativeType = IBM FlashSystem Cluster, version = 1)
Default Global Monitors
Monitors can be found at Setup > Monitoring > Monitors.
Search using the suggested name in global scope.
{monitorKey appName nativeType version}
Ex : IBM FlashSystem Cluster Monitor ibm-flashsystem IBM FlashSystem Cluster 1(i.e, monitorKey = IBM FlashSystem Cluster Monitor, appName = ibm-flashsystem, nativeType = IBM FlashSystem Cluster, version = 1)
