Adding Storage Devices for Monitoring

Overview

In order to start monitoring Storage devices, we need to first add the devices to Motadata AIOps in turn enable it to collect data from these devices for monitoring. This guide helps you with the process of adding Storage devices to Motadata AIOps so that you are able to start monitoring them.

At a high level, this process includes creating a credential profile and a discovery profile, assigning the credential profile to a discovery profile, and executing a successful discovery run.

This is followed by provisioning the discovered devices as monitors in the system. This will enable Motadata AIOps to continuously monitor the resources and generate alerts and insights based on their performance metrics. You can also customize the Monitor Settings for each monitor, such as polling interval, threshold values, and alert notifications.

NetApp ONTAP

Adding a NetApp ONTAP Device

Motadata AIOps supports discovery of Nodes, Server Virtual Machine (SVM), Logical Unit Number (LUN), Disks, and Pool. The discovery is facilitated through ONTAP cluster, which once discovered will fetch the holistic details of all corresponding components.

Prerequisites

Before you begin the discovery process for NetApp ONTAP devices, ensure that:

• Make sure that the device you're adding is reachable from the server where the AIOps is deployed.

• The ONTAP API version used must be higher than 9.6.

Dell EMC VNX Storage Processor

Adding a Dell EMC VNX Storage Processor Device

Dell EMC VNX Storage Processor Storage monitoring in Motadata AIOps enables you to discover, provision, and monitor your dell EMC storage systems. This provides comprehensive visibility into the health, performance, and capacity of your storage infrastructure, allowing for proactive management and timely resolution of potential issues.

By monitoring Dell EMC VNX Storage through Motadata AIOps, you can track critical metrics such as storage utilization, disk health, port status, and system performance. This allows for early detection of capacity bottlenecks or hardware issues, ensuring consistent storage availability and performance for dependent systems and applications.

Prerequisites

Before you begin the discovery process for Dell EMC VNX Storage Processor devices, ensure that:

1. NavisecCLI must be installed on your AIOPs server host.

• To install NavisecCLI on your AIOps server, first download Linux x64 file in your local machine. make sure while downloading this file it doesn’t matter whether your local machine is windows or linux.

• On your local machine open command prompt and run the below command:

scp C:\Users\<your-user>\Downloads\NaviCLI-Linux-64-x86-en_US-7.33.21.3.22-3.x86_64.rpm ubuntu@<AIOPS_SERVER_IP>:/tmp/

info

Replace <AIOPS_SERVER_IP> with your server’s IP.

This is to copy the path of NavisecCLI in your AIOps server.

• On your Motadata AIOps Ubuntu server, run:

cd /tmp 
wget https://dl.dell.com/downloads/XY9D7_Navisphere-CLI-7.33.21.3.22-for-Linux-x64.rpm 

This will download the Navisphere CLI .rpm into /tmp.

• Since your server is Ubuntu (Debian-based), you can’t install .rpm directly. You’ll need to convert it to .deb using alien:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install alien -y

sudo alien -k /tmp/NaviCLI-Linux-64-x86-en_US-7.33.21.3.22-3.x86_64.rpm

This will generate a .deb file in /tmp. Then install it with:

sudo dpkg -i /tmp/navicli_7.33.21.3.22-3_amd64.deb 

• Then run the below command to know the path of deb file (i.e., where default path is /opt/Navisphere/bin)

sudo find /opt -name naviseccli

If it displays /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli, then add it permanently:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/Navisphere/bin' >> ~/.bashrc 
source ~/.bashrc

• Finally, verify it’s installed using:

naviseccli –h 
which naviseccli

2. In case of an HA/DR deployment with three nodes, the tool must be installed on all three nodes to ensure consistent discovery and monitoring.
3. Ensure that the TCP port 6389 is open from the AIOPs server to the Storage Processor.

note

You need to discover both SPs separately to ensures Service Check continued data collection during failover.
