Dell EMC Metro node 7.0.1 Administrator Guide

Setting up an XCOPY monitor

For all statistics not automatically collected as a part of perpetual monitoring, you can manually create a monitor to gather statistics of XCOPY latency on a particular metro node virtual volume.

You create a monitor and configure a file sink so that the stats for the particular fe-lu (metro node virtual volume) will be collected in the configured file.

The following example shows how to create a monitor to collect the fe-lu.xcopy-avg-lat statistics for a give volume (VAAI_Vol1_Device_vol) in a file (/tmp/monitors/director-1-1-A-fe-lu-avg-lat):

VPlexcli:/monitoring/directors/director-1-1-A/monitors> monitor create --name fe-lu-xcopy-avg-lat
         --director /clusters/cluster-1/directors/director-1-1-A --stats  fe-lu.xcopy-avg-lat
         --targets /clusters/cluster-1/virtual-volumes/VAAI_Vol1_Device_vol
VPlexcli:/monitoring/directors/director-1-1-A/monitors/fe-lu-ws-avg-lat> monitor add-file-sink
         /tmp/monitors/director-1-1-A-fe-lu-avg-lat
