Dell InsightIQ 4.3.0.0 Administration Guide

Monitor a cluster

Configure InsightIQ to monitor a PowerScale OneFS or Isilon OneFS cluster.

1. In the InsightIQ web application, click the Settings tab and then Monitored Clusters on the Settings ribbon, and then click Add Cluster.
   NOTE: The first time that you configure InsightIQ, the Add Cluster dialog box might already be displayed by default.
2. In the Add Cluster dialog box, in the Isilon cluster address field, type the hostname, SmartConnect zone name, or IP address of any node in the cluster that you want to monitor.
   In general, it is recommended that you specify a cluster by a SmartConnect zone that includes CPU load-balancing policies. Alternatively, for clusters with high usage and file-heat data, you might want to specify the cluster by the IP address or by the hostname of a specific node.

   NOTE: It is recommended that you monitor clusters over a LAN connection. Monitoring clusters over a WAN connection can significantly degrade the performance of InsightIQ.

   NOTE: Specify IPv6 addresses without surrounding brackets. You can connect over IPv6 only if IPv6 addresses are configured for both the InsightIQ instance and the monitored cluster.
3. In the InsightIQ user name field, type insightiq.
4. In the InsightIQ user password field, type the password of the OneFS cluster's insightiq local user account.
5. Click OK.
