The product uses DataCore REST API package to get all necessary data.

Storage connectivity

• You can use 2 ways of setup. DataCore REST API is installed
  1. on the proxy Windows machine
  2. on a node of the storage
  
  
• Download and install DataCore REST API on whatever Windows Server 2012+ or DataCore node.
  You can download it from DataCore download page.
  Installation requires Windows reboot.
  Use REST API 1.07 for DataCore 10.0 PSP7 and newer.
  Use REST API 1.06 for olders.
  
  
• Storage provide data through HTTP (port 80) by default.
  You might change that to HTTPS as per following vendor manual.
  
  
• Allow access from the XorMon NG host to the DataCore storage on port 80 (http), use 443 in case of HTTPS.
  
  
• Create user xormon (bellow examples use stor2rrd user) in Windows hosted server on 1 DataCore node
  
  
  
• Assign that user on the storage role View
  
  
  
  
• When you configure all and you see big data gaps in graphs then you have to adjust RequestExpirationTime especially on DataCore SANsymphony 10, PSP 11, Update 1 and newer.
  Open "C:\Program Files\DataCore\Rest\Web.config" file and chang the sixth line:
  

  From: <add key="RequestExpirationTime" value="30"/>
  To: <add key="RequestExpirationTime" value="1800"/>
  

  You do not have to restart the DataCore node
