Use Cases

Discovery

Discovers all the high-level components such as Powerstore Storage Cluster, Powerstore Storage Appliance, Powerstore Storage Node, Powerstore Storage File System etc.
Publishes relationships between resources to enable a topological view and simplify maintenance
Refer to the Resource Hierarchy for detailed structure

Monitoring

Provides monitoring related to availability, capacity, performance and usage.
Alerts are generated when defined metric thresholds are breached, notifying users of potential issues.
Refer to the Supported Metrics and Default Monitoring Configuration for complete details.

Version History


Application Version	Bug fixes / Enhancements
3.1.0	This implementation introduces third-party CI alert mapping and OpsQL-based enhancements. Configure alert mappings to target CI systems through the application configuration. After configuration, the system automatically forwards alerts to the corresponding third-party platforms and maps them to the specified CIs, ensuring consistent integration and efficient alert management. Previously, resource filters in the app configuration required manual entry of resource core and custom attributes. With this enhancement, the configuration is moved to OpsQL-based filtering, where users can see the keys auto-populated as needed.
3.0.0	Support Added to new Metrics Powerstore Storage Cluster powerstore_cluster_witness_State powerstore_cluster_witness_connection_State Powerstore Storage Volume powerstore_volume_metro_replication_State powerstore_volume_witness_engagement_State Added metricGroup and Units as metric labels Metric data prescision value changes.
