VPLEX monitor enable
Might happen that not all default monitors we use providing perfomance data.
To check it and enable use this procedure (all below monitors for each director must be running):
- Check monitor status under admin account:
VPlexcli:/> ll /monitoring/directors/*/monitors/
/monitoring/directors/director-1-1-A/monitors:
Name Ownership Collecting Period Average Idle Bucket Bucket Bucket Bucket
-------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Data ------ Period For Min Max Width Count
-------------------------------------------------------------- --------- ---------- ------ ------- ----- ------ ------ ------ ------
director-1-1-A_PERPETUAL_vplex_sys_perf_mon_v19 true true 5s 4.97s 2s - - - 64
director-1-1-A_VIRTUAL_VOLUMES_PERPETUAL_MONITOR true true 1min 1min 33s - - - 64
/monitoring/directors/director-1-1-B/monitors:
Name Ownership Collecting Period Average Idle Bucket Bucket Bucket Bucket
------------------------------------------------ --------- Data ------ Period For Min Max Width Count
------------------------------------------------ --------- ---------- ------ ------- ---- ------ ------ ------ ------
director-1-1-B_PERPETUAL_vplex_sys_perf_mon_v19 true true 5s 5.05s 4s - - - 64
director-1-1-B_VIRTUAL_VOLUMES_PERPETUAL_MONITOR true true 1min 60s 33s - - - 64
...
- Delete monitors which are not collecting data
- Restart CLI from server management (not from vplexcli):
sudo /etc/init.d/VPlexManagementConsole restart
Note: Dell has changed their startscript from "init.d"/"rc.d" to "systemd" (VPLEX software V6.2 [based on SLES 15.3]).
Login with the "service" user and used:
sudo systemctl restart VPlexManagementConsole
Afterwards you can check the status with (and "sudo" is not needed):
systemctl status VPlexManagementConsole
