HPE MSA Storage

Overview

The HPE MSA Storage integration with Motadata AIOps collects operational telemetry and configuration inventory from HPE Modular Smart Array (MSA) storage systems. It monitors system identity, controllers, enclosures, hardware components, ports, disk groups, disks, storage pools, volumes, and I/O activity.

These metrics help administrators analyze storage performance, capacity utilization, hardware health, and I/O workload behavior to ensure optimal availability and performance of enterprise storage environments.

Prerequisites

• The HPE MSA management interface must be reachable from Motadata AIOps.
• A read-only user account with API or management access is configured.
• Required management ports (HTTPS/API) are accessible.
• The storage system is added in discovery with correct credentials.
