Introduction

This article explains how to import the pre-built configuration into Monitoring Studio to monitor the capacity and performance of the Huawei OceanStor 9000 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 Huawei OceanStor 9000 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:

	Cifs Share Cifs Shares with full Share path
	Client Health Status Running Status
	Cluster Health Status Remaining Capacity in GB Running Status System Capacity in GB System Used Capacity in GB
	CPU Health Status Temperature Temperature Status
	Disk Bandwidth Health Status Running Status Sector Size Sectors Temperature Use Time in sec
	Ethernet Interface Health Status Running Status Speed
	IP Pool Is IP Pool Used
	Memory Capacity in GB
	NfsShare NfsShares with full Share path
	Node Health Status Running Status
	Node Fs Service Capacity Remaining Capacity Used Capacity Health Status Running Status
	Node Pool Spill Over Total HDD Capacity Total SSD Capacity Used HDD Capacity Used SSD Capacity
	Node Share Service Health Status Running Status
	Quota Available Capacity Used Capacity
