Remarks

Consider the following remarks and requirements for this sensor:

Remark	Description
Credentials	This sensor requires credentials for Dell EMC.
Unity OE 5.x	This sensor only supports systems from the Dell EMC Unity family with Unity OE 5.x.
REST API	Dell EMC systems that provide a REST API are EMC Unity Family, EMC Unity All Flash, EMC Unity Hybrid, and EMC UnityVSA.
IPv6	This sensor supports IPv6.
Performance impact	This sensor has a very low performance impact.
Lookups	This sensor uses lookups to determine the status values of one or more channels.
Limits	This sensor has predefined limits for several metrics.
Scanning interval	The minimum scanning interval of this sensor is 1 minute. The recommended scanning interval of this sensor is 5 minutes.
Multi-platform probe	You can add this sensor to a multi-platform probe.

Basic Sensor Settings

The sensor has the following default tags that are automatically predefined in the sensor's settings when you add the sensor:

dellemc
dellemcpool
dellemcstorage
emcpoolsensor
emcsensor
restsensor

For more information about basic sensor settings, see section Sensor Settings.

Dell EMC Specific

Setting	Description
Storage Pool Name	The name of the storage pool that this sensor monitors.
Storage Pool ID	The ID of the storage pool that this sensor monitors.

Sensor Display

Setting	Description
Primary Channel	Select a channel from the list to define it as the primary channel. In the device tree, PRTG displays the last value of the primary channel below the sensor's name. The available options depend on what channels are available for this sensor. You can set a different primary channel later by clicking below a channel gauge on the sensor's Overview tab.
Graph Type	Define how this sensor shows different channels: Show channels independently (default): Show a graph for each channel. Stack channels on top of each other: Stack channels on top of each other to create a multi-channel graph. This generates a graph that visualizes the different components of your total traffic. You cannot use this option in combination with manual Vertical Axis Scaling (available in the channel settings).
Stack Unit	This setting is only visible if you select Stack channels on top of each other above. Select a unit from the list. PRTG stacks all channels with this unit on top of each other. By default, you cannot exclude single channels from stacking if they use the selected unit. However, there is an advanced procedure to do so.

Description

Primary Channel

Select a channel from the list to define it as the primary channel. In the device tree, PRTG displays the last value of the primary channel below the sensor's name. The available options depend on what channels are available for this sensor.

You can set a different primary channel later by clicking below a channel gauge on the sensor's Overview tab.

Graph Type

Define how this sensor shows different channels:

Show channels independently (default): Show a graph for each channel.
Stack channels on top of each other: Stack channels on top of each other to create a multi-channel graph. This generates a graph that visualizes the different components of your total traffic.
You cannot use this option in combination with manual Vertical Axis Scaling (available in the channel settings).

Stack Unit

This setting is only visible if you select Stack channels on top of each other above.

Select a unit from the list. PRTG stacks all channels with this unit on top of each other. By default, you cannot exclude single channels from stacking if they use the selected unit. However, there is an advanced procedure to do so.

Debug Options

Setting	Description
Result Handling	Define what PRTG does with the sensor result: Discard result (default): Do not store the sensor result. Store result: Store the sensor result and the last response in the \Logs\sensors subfolder of the PRTG data directory on the probe system. The file name is Result of Sensor [ID].log. This setting is for debugging purposes. PRTG overwrites this file with each scanning interval. This option is not available when the sensor runs on the hosted probe of a PRTG Hosted Monitor instance. In a cluster, PRTG stores the result in the PRTG data directory of the master node.

Inherited Settings

By default, all of these settings are inherited from objects that are higher in the hierarchy. We recommend that you change them centrally in the root group settings if necessary. To change a setting for this object only, click under the corresponding setting name to disable the inheritance and to display its options.

For more information, see section Inheritance of Settings.

Channel List

Which channels the sensor actually shows might depend on the target device, the available components, and the sensor setup.

Channel	Description
Downtime	In the channel table on the Overview tab, this channel never shows any values. PRTG uses this channel in graphs and reports to show the amount of time in which the sensor was in the Down status.
Free Size	The free size
Free Size %	The free size (%) This channel has default limits: Lower error limit: 10% Lower warning limit: 25%
Health Status	The health status Up status: OK, OK But Minor Warning Warning status: Degraded, Minor Issue Down status: Critical Issue, Major Issue, Non Recoverable Unknown status: Unknown This channel is the primary channel by default.
Metadata Subscribed Size	The subscribed metadata size
Metadata Used Size	The used metadata size
Preallocated Size	The preallocated size
Preallocated Size %	The preallocated size (%)
