Dot Hill System (REST)

Description​

This connector enables hardware monitoring for Dot Hill systems through the Management REST API. It monitors the enclosure, controllers, and physical disks, as well as the various environment sensors (fans, power supplies, network cards, voltages, and temperature).

hardware storage

Enterprise Connector

This connector requires the Enterprise edition of MetricsHub.

Target​

Typical platform: Dot Hill

Operating system: Storage System

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

Prerequisites​

Leverages: N/A

Technology and protocols: HTTP

Examples​

CLI​

metricshub HOSTNAME -t storage -c +DotHillREST --https --http-port 443 -u USERNAME

metricshub.yaml​

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: storage
        connectors: [ +DotHillREST ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          http:
            https: true
            port: 443 # or probably something else
            username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
            password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using metricshub-encrypt

Connector Activation Criteria​

The Dot Hill System (REST) connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

  • The HTTP Request below to the managed host succeeds:
    • GET /api/login/%{SHA256_AUTH}
    • Request Header: datatype: json
    • The response body contains: response-type&quot;:&quot;Success (regex)
