HP Smart Storage Array monitoring with Netdata

What is HP Smart Storage Array?

HP Smart Storage Array is a type of storage array that is built on the HP Smart Array technologies. It is designed to provide enterprise-class storage for HP ProLiant servers and HP Integrity servers. It is designed to be easy to use, reliable, and secure. It provides advanced storage features such as storage virtualization, storage tiering, snapshotting, and thin provisioning.

Monitoring HP Smart Storage Array with Netdata

Netdata auto discovers hundreds of services, and for those it doesn’t turning on manual discovery is a one line configuration. For more information on configuring Netdata for HP smart storage array monitoring please read the collector documentation.

You should now see the HP smart storage array section on the Overview tab in Netdata Cloud already populated with charts about all the metrics you care about.

Netdata has a public demo space (no login required) where you can explore different monitoring use-cases and get a feel for Netdata.

What HP Smart Storage Array metrics are important to monitor - and why?

Controller Status

Controller status is an important metric to monitor when using an HP Smart Storage Array. This metric provides information about whether the controller is functioning correctly or not. A healthy controller should have a status of ‘OK’. Issues with the controller can be prevented with effective monitoring of this metric.

Controller Temperature

Controller temperature is another important metric to monitor when using an HP Smart Storage Array. This metric provides information about the temperature of the controller. The temperature of the controller should be within a certain range. If the temperature is too high, it can cause the system to malfunction or even shut down. Monitoring this metric can help prevent issues related to high temperatures.

Logical Drive Status

Logical drive status is a metric that should be monitored when using an HP Smart Storage Array. This metric provides information about the status of the logical drive, such as whether it is online, offline, or degraded. Monitoring this metric can help prevent issues related to the logical drive, such as data corruption or loss.

Physical Drive Status

Physical drive status is an important metric to monitor when using an HP Smart Storage Array. This metric provides information about the status of the physical drive, such as whether it is online, offline, or degraded. Monitoring this metric can help prevent issues related to the physical drive, such as data corruption or loss.

Physical Drive Temperature

Physical drive temperature is another important metric to monitor when using an HP Smart Storage Array. This metric provides information about the temperature of the physical drive. The temperature of the physical drive should be within a certain range. If the temperature is too high, it can cause the system to malfunction or even shut down. Monitoring this metric can help prevent issues related to high temperatures.
