Adding Storage Devices for Monitoring
ObserveOps (formerly known as AIOps) monitors storage devices by discovering them through a credential profile and provisioning them as monitors. Once provisioned, ObserveOps continuously collects performance metrics and generates alerts based on what it finds. You can customize Monitor Settings for each monitor, including polling intervals, thresholds, and alert notifications.
