Introduction

Eternus storage systems is a family of compatible all flash and hybrid storage systems. Eternus AF all flash arrays offer practically unlimited storage performance. Eternus DX hybrid storage systems are designed to store large amounts of unstructured data using cost efficient hard disk capacities while allowing fast access via SSDs. Eternus AF and Eternus DX offer an outstanding family of systems that allow the digital world to achieve the ideal balance between cost , capacity and speed.

Key Use cases

Discovery Use cases

The device discovery enables customers with an unified way of showing all of the elements making up a Eternus storage device along with the relationships.

Monitoring Use cases

The device monitoring helps to collect the metric values with respect to time and sends alerts to the intended customer team to act up immediately in case of any threshold breach or unexpected metric behavior observed based on configurations. In a way it helps the customer with smooth functioning of business with minimal or zero downtime in case of any infrastructure related issues occurring.

Prerequisites

  • OpsRamp Classic Gateway 14.0.0 and above.
  • OpsRamp NextGen Gateway 14.0.0 and above.
    Note: OpsRamp recommends using the latest Gateway version for full coverage of recent bug fixes, enhancements, etc.

Default Monitoring Configurations

Eternus has a default Global Device Management Policies, Global Templates, Global Monitors and Global Metrics in OpsRamp. Users can customize these default monitoring configurations as per your business use cases by cloning respective Global Templates and Global Device Management Policies. OpsRamp recommends doing this activity before installing the app to avoid noise alerts and data.

  1. Default Global Device Management Policies

    OpsRamp has a Global Device Management Policy for each Native Type of Eternus. You can find those Device Management Policies at Setup > Resources > Device Management Policies, search with suggested names in global scope. Each Device Management Policy follows below naming convention:

    {appName nativeType - version}

    Ex: eternus Eternus Storage - 1 (i.e, appName = eternus, nativeType = Eternus Storage, version = 1)

  2. Default Global Templates

    OpsRamp has a Global Template for each Native Type of Eternus. You can find those templates at Setup > Monitoring > Templates, search with suggested names in Global Scope. Each template follows below naming convention:

    {appName nativeType 'Template' - version}

    Ex: eternus Eternus Storage Template - 1 (i.e, appName = eternus, nativeType = Eternus Storage, version = 1)

  3. Default Global Monitors

    OpsRamp will have a Global Monitors for each Native Type which has monitoring support. You can find those monitors at Setup > Monitoring > Monitors, search with suggested names in global scope. Each Monitors follows below naming convention:

    {monitorKey appName nativeType - version}

    Ex: Eternus Storage Monitor eternus Eternus Storage 1(i.e, monitorKey = Eternus Storage Monitor, appName = eternus, nativeType = Eternus Storage, version = 1)

Now the configuration is saved and displayed on the configurations page after you save it.
Note: From the same page, you may Edit and Remove the created configuration.

  1. Under the ADVANCED SETTINGS, Select the Bypass Resource Reconciliation option, if you wish to bypass resource reconciliation when encountering the same resources discovered by multiple applications.

    Note: If two different applications provide identical discovery attributes, two separate resources will be generated with those respective attributes from the individual discoveries.

  2. Click NEXT.

  3. (Optional) Click +ADD to create a new collector by providing a name or use the pre-populated name.
