Fusion ioDrive (fio-status)

Description

This connector monitors the Fusion ioDrive accelerator card.

hardware linux solaris windows

Enterprise Connector

This connector requires the Enterprise edition of MetricsHub.

Target

Typical platform: Fusion-io

Operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Linux, Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

Leverages: fio-status CLI utility

Technology and protocols: Commands

This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:

• fio-status

This connector therefore needs to run as root or you need to configure a privilege-escalation mechanism like sudo on the managed host to allow the monitoring account to run the command listed above.

Sample of /etc/sudoers to allow the above command to be run as root by the metricshub account:

metricshub ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: fio-status

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t win -c +FusionIO --wmi -u USER

metricshub.yaml

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: win
        connectors: [ +FusionIO ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          wmi:
            username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
            password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using metricshub-encrypt
