This connector enables hardware monitoring for Nimble Storage Systems via Nimble's REST API.

hardware nimble storage

Enterprise Connector

This connector requires the Enterprise edition of MetricsHub.

Target

Typical platform: HPE Nimble

Operating system: Storage System

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

Prerequisites

Leverages: Nimble REST API

Technology and protocols: HTTP

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t storage -c +Nimble --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: [ +Nimble ] # 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
