Features of Site24x7 storage monitoring tool

SNMP-based custom monitoring

Site24x7 can monitor any storage device and any attribute of that device. Just make sure that the storage device supports SNMP, and you can fully customize your monitoring.

Exclusive templates for RAID monitoring

With exclusive device templates for top RAID devices from NetApp, HP, EMC Isilon, Synology, Dell, and QNAP, monitoring RAID is easy. Just add your devices and get started.

Maps and dashboards for visualization

Visualize your storage environment by viewing their connections, health, and status using topology maps or layer-2 maps. View all your storage devices and interfaces using the health dashboard. You can also create personalized dashboard views to display any metric that is being monitored.

Traps, notifications, reports, and more

Generate performance reports for in-depth analysis. Configure and process trap messages instantly to get alerts if there are any device issues or events. Receive alerts on different mediums of your choice.

Key metrics to monitor storage performance

Storage monitoring is the process of monitoring the different metrics of storage devices in a network including CPU, memory, disk, and volume, so that they always have the required space and are up and available. It helps admins obtain complete visibility into the device environment in real time so they can diagnose and fix performance issues quickly.

Keep track of key storage metrics and ensure proper capacity planning for your storage environment. Here's a list of some of the metrics Site24x7 provides:

Total disk count

The total number of disks on the system.

Active disk count

The number of disks that are currently active, including parity disks.

Battery status

The indication of the current status of the non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) batteries.

Disk read and write bytes

The total number of bytes read and written from the disk since the last boot.

iSCSI operations

The total number of iSCSI operations handled since the last boot.

FCP operations

The total number of FCP operations handled since the last boot.

iSCSI read and write bytes

The total number of bytes read and written via internet small computer systems interface (iSCSI) since the last boot.

FCP read and write bytes

The total number of bytes read and written via fiber channel protocol (FCP) since the last boot.

Volume (available in bytes)

The total free disk space in kilobytes on the referenced file system.

Failed disk count

The number of disks that are currently broken.

Cache age

The age in minutes of the oldest read-only blocks in the buffer cache.
