Performance Monitoring Tool - EVA 5000

[Gianni_12]

Hi, i just wonder what are you guys using for to generate performance monitoring reports of your EVA?

We have been using CACTI to monitor our Brocade 3850 Switches. IT does a good job of monitoring the throughput of the ports, as well as temperature of the switches.

But what about the EVA itself? the performance of the disks? the diskgroups?

There is any tool out there that can help me achieve this?

Tks

You should use evaperf. Once installed, evaperf provides a command line utility to display performance counters, and also, an integration with the system performance monitor (perfmon) of windows, that allows you to get an graph the results.

You can download evaperf from here:

Hi,
you can script the evaperf polling from within Cacti ...

Hi,

Once evaperf is installed, you also have to install the Nagios Agent on the same machine.
It will permit you to ask for the perfmon counters with the check_nt command (from nagios too).

Here is an example :
$ check_nt -H ${MANAPP} -v COUNTER -l '\HP EVA Physical Disk Group($EVANAME - Default Disk Group)\Read KB/s'
