How does eG Enterprise monitor the EMC PowerVault ME Storage System?

eG Enterprise monitors EMC PowerVault ME Storage System in an agentless manner. All that is required for this is an eG agent needs to be deployed on a remote Windows host in the environment. This agent should be configured to connect to the management controller of the storage system (via HTTP/HTTPS), where the XML API resides. The eG agent then runs XML API commands to collect the desired metrics. To be able to use the XML API, the pre-requisites detailed in Pre-requisites for monitoring the EMC PowerVault ME storage system topic will have to be fulfilled.

Once the pre-requisites are fulfilled, manage the EMC PowerVault ME Storage System component using the steps discussed in the Managing the EMC PowerVault ME Storage system to monitor the target System.
