Introduction

This article explains how to import the pre-built configuration into Monitoring Studio to monitor the capacity and performance of the EMC Atmos storage devices through SNMP. The Sentry Storage Analyzer for TrueSight OM license is required to use Monitoring Studio.

The pre-built configuration does not cover all the monitoring aspects of EMC Atmos storage devices. It is provided as an example and can be used as a working base for advanced monitoring. No support will be provided for this prebuilt configuration. Should you need further assistance to customize it, please contact our Professional Services team.

The pre-built configuration collects the following metrics:

	Health Battery Status Controller Status CPU Usage DAE Status DAE Unavailable Disk Error Disk Marked Suspect Disk Replaceable Status Disk Status Event Disk Unavailable Fan Speed Status Fan Status File system disk space usage File system status File system not used JS Queue Status JS Scan MDS Init Status MDS Insufficient Disk MDS Job Fall Behind Memory Usage Network Interface Status No Disk Found Node Status Notification Current Status Notification Message Notification Node Notification Previous Status NTP Clock Sync Err Policy Resource Status Policy Sync Failed Postgres DB Failover Postgresql Connection Status PS Stats RMG Status Segment Status Server Disk Array Status Server Memory Status Server Temperature Status Service Memory Usage Service Status SS Destage Status SS Latency Swap Usage System Disk Utilization UID distribution failure VIP Failover

Importing the Pre-Built Configuration

Pre-requisites

Before using the pre-built configuration, make sure that:

the system running the PATROL Agent has access to the SNMP Agent embedded on the EMC Atmos storage device through SNMP v1/v2c/v3 and is configured to listen to the SNMP traps
PATROL Agent 9.6 or later is installed and properly configured
Monitoring Studio KM 9.2 or later is installed with the latest patches and loaded on the PATROL agent

Important: If you are planning to use SNMP v3 with SHA, please use the version 9.2 of Monitoring Studio.

Procedure

Download the EMC-Atmos-for-MSv9.x-v1.cfg file and copy it on the server where the PATROL Agent and the Monitoring Studio KM is installed.
Right-click on the main Monitoring Studio icon > KM Commands > Configuration > Import Configuration

Importing the EMC Atmos pre-built configuration
Navigate to the folder where the downloaded cfg file is copied and choose the EMC-Atmos-for-MSv9.x-v1.cfg

Selecting the EMC Atmos pre-built configuration to import
