Operating system: Storage System

This connector is not available for the local host (it is applicable to remote hosts only).

Prerequisites​

Leverages: DDN SNMP Agent

Technology and protocols: SNMP

Examples​

CLI​

metricshub HOSTNAME -t storage -c +DDN --snmp v2c --community public

metricshub.yaml​

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: storage
        connectors: [ +DDN ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          snmp:
            version: v2c # Read documentation for v1, v2c and v3
