This chapter provides descriptions for all EMC CLARiiON metric categories and the associated metrics for each category.
The Symmetrix plug-in enables monitoring of the various components of the array and mapping of the various database entities such as tablespaces/datafiles, ASM disk groups, host file systems and raw devices to the various EMC Symmetrix storage components such as Hypers, Metas, Front-end directors and Disk Adapters.
The metrics in this category provide information about the UP/DOWN status of the Symmetrix Array being monitored.

Table 3-23 Disk Statistics Details Metrics
| Metric | Description and User Action |
|---|---|
|
Disk Reads Per Second |
Reads per second on the disk. Operator - > The consecutive number of occurrences preceding notification - 1 Error message - Disk %disk_name% Reads Per Second is %value%, crossed warning (%warning_threshold%) or critical (%critical_threshold%) threshold. For this metric you can set different warning and critical threshold values for each "Disk Name" object. If warning or critical threshold values are currently set for any "Disk Name" object, those thresholds can be viewed on the Metric Detail page for this metric. To specify or change warning or critical threshold values for each "Disk Name" object, use the Edit Thresholds page. |
|
Disk Writes Per Second |
Writes per second on the disk. Operator - > The consecutive number of occurrences preceding notification - 1 Error message - Disk %disk_name% Writes Per Second is %value%, crossed warning (%warning_threshold%) or critical (%critical_threshold%) threshold. For this metric you can set different warning and critical threshold values for each "Disk Name" object. If warning or critical threshold values are currently set for any "Disk Name" object, those thresholds can be viewed on the Metric Detail page for this metric. To specify or change warning or critical threshold values for each "Disk Name" object, use the Edit Thresholds page. |
|
Disk Read Throughput (KB/Sec) |
Read throughput of the disk. Operator - > The consecutive number of occurrences preceding notification - 1 Error message - Disk %disk_name% Read Throughput (KB/Sec) is %value%, crossed warning (%warning_threshold%) or critical (%critical_threshold%) threshold. For this metric you can set different warning and critical threshold values for each "Disk Name" object. If warning or critical threshold values are currently set for any "Disk Name" object, those thresholds can be viewed on the Metric Detail page for this metric. To specify or change warning or critical threshold values for each "Disk Name" object, use the Edit Thresholds page. |
|
Disk Write Throughput (KB/Sec) |
Write throughput of the disk. Operator - > The consecutive number of occurrences preceding notification - 1 Error message - Disk %disk_name% Write Throughput (KB/Sec) is %value%, crossed warning (%warning_threshold%) or critical (%critical_threshold%) threshold. For this metric you can set different warning and critical threshold values for each "Disk Name" object. If warning or critical threshold values are currently set for any "Disk Name" object, those thresholds can be viewed on the Metric Detail page for this metric. To specify or change warning or critical threshold values for each "Disk Name" object, use the Edit Thresholds page. |
This metric provides information about the events occurring on the Symmetrix Array.
Default Collection Interval — Every 5 minutes
| Metric | Description and User Action |
|---|---|
|
Detected Date/Time |
Date and time of the occurrence of the event. |
|
Symmetrix Event |
The Symmetrix events are collected by the script. Events like director dead, port inactive, disk pulled out are reported by the metric, between the time intervals specified. Operator - = The consecutive number of occurrences preceding notification - 1 Default Warning Threshold - Warning Default Critical Threshold - Error Error message - Director: %director% Source: %source% %category% - %description% (Error Code: %numeric_code%) detected at %date_time%. Alert Text - Once an alert is triggered for this metric, it must be manually cleared. For this metric you can set different warning and critical threshold values for each unique combination of "Director", "Source", "Category", and "Error Code" objects. If warning or critical threshold values are currently set for any unique combination of "Director", "Source", "Category", and "Error Code" objects, those thresholds can be viewed on the Metric Detail page for this metric. To specify or change warning or critical threshold values for each "Disk Name" object, use the Edit Thresholds page. |
|
Description |
Description of the event that occurred. |
This metric provides information about the hyper to frontend director mapping details. Some of the other details that are collected are port number, device name, symbolic ID of the hyper, and physical device name of the hyper.
Default Collection Interval — Every 24 hours
