Default monitoring profiles are provided at the user (hosts, VMs, and volumes) and system level (datastore, switches, hypervisors, and storage).

The User and System Resource Threshold Profiles are located in the Administration tab under Monitoring Settings. Each profile includes a list of metrics and values. The defaults for volumes (user) and arrays (system) are described here for reference. The User System Resource Threshold Profiles support Dynamic thresholds. The default values are general recommendations and should be customized based on your environment.

Note: For best results, do not modify the default profiles; make a copy instead. (When creating a new threshold profile, use the Copy From option.)

Default Profile for Volumes

The default user profile for volumes are listed in the following table. The metrics can be set to Dynamic, Static, or OFF. Dynamic means the thresholds are calculated automatically based on historical data. Metrics that are set to Dynamic or OFF have no set values, hence the table does not include Threshold values.

Notes:

* Set the threshold values according to your network environment:

  • 10 Gbps ISCSI - Warning: 400MiB/s, Critical: 1000MiB/s
  • 25Gbps ISCSI - Warning:1000MiB/s, Critical: 2100MiB/s
  • FC - Warning: 40% of the Port speed, Critical: 80% of the Port speed
