Monitoring EMC SAN Performance

[aacajo]

I'm wondering if it is possible to monitor IOPS on our Clariion CX4-240 with Nagios? I installed an EMC_Clariion plugin, however it is not able to show this in performance graphs. Anyone have any ideas?

Which one did you install?

I was looking into this and it looks like the plugin that is packaged with the wizard is a quite a bit newer (by several years) and it has performance data added recently for checks.

I am going to attach this version for you.

I have installed it, but am not sure how to utilize it. My apologies, I'm still trialing the product.

I thought the problem was that the one you had didn't have performance graphs?

After you installed the new one, did the performance graphs show up?

Let me recap what I've done thus far.

I uploaded the EMC CLARiiON Monitoring Wizard from this link:

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... rd/details

This worked great, I've added both our storage processors and can see them in Nagios. If I click on Performance Graphs all I can see is ping times, and Dirty Pages in Cache. I'm looking to monitor IOPS per LUN if possible. Do I need to add the graphs in from the Perl script you sent me somehow?

Thanks again for the prompt responses!

It's possible that the plugin doesn't return performance data. Can you access the Service Details->(this service)->Advanced (tab) and check to see if you're seeing performance data being returned?
