Qsan XCubeNXT
Overview
The Qsan XCubeNXT integration with ObserveOps (formerly known as AIOps) collects operational telemetry from Qsan XCubeNXT storage appliances. It monitors device identity and uptime, disk inventory, file system configurations, running processes, and backup timestamps.
These metrics help administrators track storage health, monitor disk and file system capacity, verify backup schedules, and maintain operational visibility across Qsan XCubeNXT deployments.
Prerequisites
- The Qsan XCubeNXT device is reachable from ObserveOps over the network.
- SNMP or the Qsan management API is enabled on the device.
- The user account used for integration has read access to the Qsan management interface.
- The Qsan XCubeNXT device is added in discovery with correct credentials.
