How to Monitor SIOS DataKeeper Using eG Enterprise?

eG enterprise monitors the SIOS DataKeeper cluster in an agent-based manner. For this purpose, you need to deploy an eG agent on the target host. This agent executes various tests to collect the performance metrics from the SIOS DataKeeper cluster. Before attempting to monitor the target cluster, manage the SIOS DataKeeper component using eG admin interface. The steps for managing the component are explained in the following section:

Managing SIOS DataKeeper

eG Enterprise cannot auto-discover the SIOS DataKeeper. This implies that you need to manually add the SIOS DataKeeper component for monitoring. Remember that eG Enterprise automatically manages the components that are added manually. To manage a SIOS DataKeeper component, do the following:

  1. Log into the eG admin interface.
  2. Follow the Components -> Add/Modify menu sequence in the Infrastructure tile of the Admin menu to manually add the component using the Components page. Remember that components manually added are managed automatically.

  3. In the Components page that appears next, select SIOS DataKeeper as the Component type. Then, click the Add New Component button. This will invoke Figure 1.
