For example:

VPlexcli:/monitoring/directors/director-1-1-B/monitors> monitor destroy director-1-1-B_TestMonitor

Create an SNMP monitor

SNMP sinks can be added only to monitors configured to collect fe-lu or disk statistics.

All the statistics in the fe-lu statistics category must be included in the monitor.

In the following example:

  • The monitor stat-list fe-lu command displays all the statistics in the fe-lu category
  • The monitor create command creates a monitor to collect all fe-lu statistics
  • The cd command changes the context to the new monitor
  • The add-snmp-sink command adds an SNMP sink to the monitor
    VPlexcli:/monitoring/directors/director-1-1-B/monitors> monitor stat-list fe-lu
    Name             Target          Type     Units
    ---------------  --------------  -------  --------

    fe-lu.read       virtual-volume  counter  KB/s
    fe-lu.read-lat   virtual-volume  bucket   us
    fe-lu.write      virtual-volume  counter  KB/s
    fe-lu.write-lat  virtual-volume  bucket   us
    VPlexcli:/monitoring/directors/director-1-1-B/monitors> monitor create --name SNMPTestMonitor --director director-1-1-B --stats fe-lu.read,fe-lu.read-lat,fe- lu.write,fe-lu.write-lat,fe-lu.ops  --targets /clusters/cluster-1/virtual-volumes/polyvol_e4_extent_Symm0487_393 
    Successfully created 1 monitor(s) out of 1.
    VPlexcli:/monitoring/directors/director-1-1-B/monitors> cd director-1-1-B_SNMPTestMonitor
    VPlexcli:/monitoring/directors/director-1-1-B/monitors/director-1-1-B_ SNMPTestMonitor> add-snmp-sink --name fe-lu-stats
    Displaying monitors

Use the ls /monitoring/directors/*/monitors command to display the names of all monitors configured on the system:

VPlexcli:/> ls /monitoring/directors/*/monitors
/monitoring/directors/director-1-1-A/monitors:
DEFAULT_director-1-1-A_PERPETUAL_vplex_sys_perf_mon_v8
director-1-1-A_Billy35_FE_A0-FC00_stats
director-1-1-A_director-fe-21112011
director-1-1-A_diskReportMonitor
.
.
.
/monitoring/directors/director-1-1-B/monitors:
DEFAULT_director-1-1-B_PERPETUAL_vplex_sys_perf_mon_v8
.
.
.

Use the ll /monitoring/directors/*/monitors command to display summarized information about all the monitors for the specified context and object:

VPlexcli:/> ll /monitoring/directors/director-1-1-A/monitors
/monitoring/directors/director-1-1-A/monitors:
