Performance monitoring
ApplianceWatch is designed to scale to large numbers of controllers. As the number of storage controllers increases, you can manage the monitoring load by changing the run frequency of the various discovery and monitoring rules. If you run them less often, you place less burden on the Microsoft Operations Manager infrastructure, but you receive less timely alert information.
- Types of metrics
ApplianceWatch monitors several controller-level performance metrics. You can use these metrics to monitor the state of your storage controllers and configurations, as well as to identify usage patterns.
- How to launch Health Explorer for a controller
You can launch Health Explorer in Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 so that you can determine the root of any NetApp storage-related issues.
