Introduction

HPE SimpliVity is a hyperconverged platform that seamlessly integrates infrastructure, advanced data services, and AI-driven operations. Its hyper-efficiency enhances performance, optimizes storage usage, and accelerates backup and restore functions.
HPE SimpliVity integration of OpsRamp enables you to gain centralized visibility and control over the entire hybrid IT infrastructure of your organization. With the help of this integration, administrators can manage and monitor HPE SimpliVity environments along with the other critical IT resources. This unified approach streamlines operations, enhances agility, and ensures maximum uptime across the infrastructure stack, delivering unparalleled value and performance.

The following helps you to get started.

Key Use Cases

Discovery Use Cases

  • Discovers the SimpliVity components.
  • Publishes relationships between resources to have a topological view and ease of maintenance.

Monitoring Use Cases

  • Provides metrics related to job scheduling time and status
  • Concern alerts will be generated for each metric to notify the administrator regarding the issue with the resource.
  • For detailed strcuture, see Resource Hierarchy.

Supported Target Versions

  • HPE OmniStack software version - 4.2.0.97, 6.3.0.98
  • REST API Version - 1.20

Version History

Application VersionBug fixes / Enhancements
7.0.0Added following metrics.
  • hpe_simplivity_omnistack_vmehost_memoryutilization
  • hpe_simplivity_omnistack_vmehost_cpuutilization
  • hpe_simplivity_omnistack_vmehost_powerstate
  • hpe_simplivity_omnistackvmehost_connected_state
6.0.0Added Persona based support.
5.1.0This 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.
5.0.1Added metricGroup and Units as metric labels.
5.0.0Added new metrics:
  • hpe_simplivity_federation_clusterCount
  • hpe_simplivity_federation_hostCount
  • hpe_simplivity_omnistack_virtualcontroller_State
4.0.0
  • Added "Compute Cluster Name" and "Omnistack Cluster Id" input fields to the native types.
  • Added new metric hpe_simplivity_omnistack_host_temperatureStatus to the native type "HPE SimpliVity OmniStack Host".
3.0.0
  • Added support for the following metrics:
  • hpe_simplivity_storageadapter_battery_health
  • hpe_simplivity_omnistack_host_memoryutilization
  • hpe_simplivity_omnistack_host_cpuutilization
  • hpe_simplivity_omnistack_power_state
  • hpe_simplivity_omnistack_connected_state
  • Updated attribute name from "Firmware Revision" to "FirmwareVersion".
2.0.0
  • Added support for the following metrics:
  • hpe_simplivity_omnistack_cluster_freeSpacePercentage (HPE SimpliVity OmniStack Cluster)
  • hpe_simplivity_omnistack_host_freeSpacePercentage (HPE SimpliVity OmniStack Host)
  • hpe_simplivity_virtualmachine_hypervisorConsumedCpuPercentage (HPE SimpliVity Virtual Machine)
  • hpe_simplivity_virtualmachine_hypervisorConsumedMemoryPercentage (HPE SimpliVity Virtual Machine)
  • hpe_simplivity_datastore_hypervisorFreeSpacePercentage (HPE SimpliVity Datastore)
  • Support added to Root Resource UUID as a custom attribute.
  • Updated default availability and threshold metric definitions.
  • Changes made to the metric data precision value.
1.0.1Added support for the latest metrics, Activity Logger updates, and DebugHandler changes.
