Pure Storage System

PATROL Class: SEN_PURE_STORAGESYSTEM - Monitor Type: MONITOR - Monitor Category: System
CDM Class: BMC_ComputerSystem -- Instances of this monitor will be represented as devices in TrueSight Operations Management

Monitors a storage system.

Attributes (Parameters)

Name PATROL Name Units Default Thresholds Description
Available Capacity AvailableCapacity TB None

Total capacity not consumed in the storage system.

Type: Statistics

Collection Status CollectionStatus 0 = OK
1 = Degraded
2 = Failed

 WARN
if = 1 (Degraded)

 ALARM
if = 2 (Failed)

Status of the collection.

Type: Collection Status - Spikes expected

Collection Status Information CollectionStatusInformation None None

Detailed information about the collection status. Errors encountered by Storage System will be reported in this parameter.

Type: Text

Consumed Capacity ConsumedCapacity TB None

Number of bytes actually consumed in the storage system.

Type: Statistics

Operation Rate OperationRate operations/s None

Number of read operations per second.

Type:  KPI - Statistics - Spikes expected - Default graph

Oversubscription Situation OversubscriptionSituation 0 = No
1 = Yes

 ALARM
if = 1 (Yes)

This parameter reports an oversubscription situation, that is when:

1.The storage pool is configured for thin provisioning ("thin storage pool")

2.The storage pool is oversubscribed, i.e. the total disk space visible to the hosts (subscribers) is greater than its actual capacity (this situation is normal for a thin pool since it is its very purpose)

3.The storage pool actual consumed capacity is nearing 100%

Such situation is highly critical because the inability to allocate additional space to a LUN when requested by the subscriber host will lead to catastrophic data loss and corruption.

Type: Statistics - Spikes expected

Port Count PortCount Ports None

Number of ports.

Type: Statistics

Read Byte Rate ReadByteRate MB/s None

Number of read bytes per second performed by the storage system.

Type: Statistics - Spikes expected

Read Operation Rate ReadOperationRate operations/s None

Number of read operations per second performed by the storage system.

Type: Statistics - Spikes expected

Read Response Time ReadResponseTime ms

 WARN
if ≥ 10 ms, 2 times in a row

Average response time for read operations.

Type: Response Time - Spikes expected

Response Time ResponseTime ms

 WARN
if ≥ 10 ms, 2 times in a row

Average response time for all operations.

Type: Response Time - Spikes expected

Status Status 0 = OK
1 = Degraded
2 = Failed

 WARN
if = 1 (Degraded)

 ALARM
if = 2 (Failed)

Status of the storage system.

Type: Availability - Spikes expected

Status Information StatusInformation None None

Detailed information about the storage system status.

Type: Text

Subscribed Capacity SubscribedCapacity TB None

Number of terabytes reserved in the storage system.

Type: Statistics

Transfer Byte Rate TransferByteRate MB/s None

Total bytes read and written per second to the storage system.

Type:  KPI - Statistics - Spikes expected - Default graph

Write Byte Rate WriteByteRate MB/s None

Bytes written per second to the storage system since the last collect.

Type: Statistics - Spikes expected

Write Operation Rate WriteOperationRate operations/s None

Number of write operations per second.

Type: Statistics - Spikes expected

Write Response Time WriteResponseTime ms

 WARN
if ≥ 10 ms, 2 times in a row

Average response time for write operations.

Type: Response Time - Spikes expected
