Infinidat monitoring

XorMon, open source under GPL v3, monitors Infinidat InfiniBox storage through the InfiniBox REST API interface (management API + LiveCounters API) natively provided by the storage. It graphs capacity, IO, data, latency and block size per pool, IO, data, latency and block size per volume, plus drive, port, node and host statistics, with health status and alerts.

Does XorMon support Infinidat InfiniBox and InfiniGuard?

XorMon supports Infinidat InfiniBox, listed among the supported storage systems; InfiniGuard monitoring is supported by STOR2RRD, a legacy tool, only so far.

Infinidat InfiniGuard is on the list of devices not supported in XorMon yet. LPAR2RRD and STOR2RRD are legacy tools. XorMon is their full-stack successor, and all new development goes into XorMon.

Which InfiniBox storage metrics does XorMon monitor?

Per pool, XorMon graphs capacity, IO, data, latency and block size; per volume, IO, data, latency and block size; per drive, queue and latency.

The Infinidat tab of the feature matrix also lists IO, data and latency per port and per host, IO, data, latency and cache per node, health status, and performance and hardware event alerting. InfiniBox is one of the storage systems that provide direct host based performance statistics, so XorMon shows real data for every attached host.

How does XorMon connect to the InfiniBox REST API?

XorMon connects from the XorMon host to the Infinidat InfiniBox storage on port 443 (https) and reads the InfiniBox REST API interface (management API + LiveCounters API) with a read-only user.

The XorMon deployment table lists Infinidat InfiniBox with read-only access, REST API as the protocol and port 443.

List of not supported technologies yet
The product uses Infinidat InfiniBox REST API interface (management API + LiveCounters API) natively provided by the storage to get all necessary data.

Storage connectivity

  • Allow access from the XorMon host to the Infinidat InfiniBox storage on port 443 (https).

  • Create user xormon on the Infinidat InfiniBox storage with read_only role.

XorMon storage configuration

  • Add storage into configuration from the UI:
    Settings icon ➡ Storage ➡ New ➡ Vendor:device ➡ Infinidat InfiniBox
    Infinidat InfiniBox storage monitoring

  • Run "Test" for configured storage device, it must show "OK"

  • Wait about 1 hour, then reload the web browser, you should see it in XorMon UI
