DataCore monitoring

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 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
    DataCore SANsymphony Windows user

  • Assign that user on the storage role View
    DataCore SANsymphony storage user


  • 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
