Default Monitoring Configurations
Dell Power Store has default Global Device Management Policies, Global Templates, Global Monitors and Global Metrics in OpsRamp. You can customize these default monitoring configurations as per your business requirement by cloning respective Global Templates and Global Device Management Policies. It is recommended to clone them before installing the application to avoid noise alerts and data.
Default Global Device Management Policies
You can find the Device Management Policy for each Native Type at Setup > Resources > Device Management Policies. Search with suggested name in global scope. Each Device Management Policy follows below naming convention:
{appName nativeType - version}
Ex: dell-power-store Powerstore Storage Volume - 2 (i.e, appName = dell-power-store, nativeType = Powerstore Storage Volume , version = 2)
Default Global Templates
You can find the Global Templates for each Native Type at Setup > Monitoring > Templates. Search with suggested names in global scope. Each template follows below naming convention:
{appName nativeType 'Template' - version}
Ex: dell-power-store Powerstore Storage Appliance Template - 2(i.e, appName = dell-power-store, nativeType = Powerstore Storage Appliance, version = 2)
Default Global Monitors
You can find the Global Monitors for each Native Type at Setup > Monitoring > Monitors. Search with suggested name in global scope. Each Monitors follows below naming convention:
{monitorKey appName nativeType - version}
Ex: Powerstore Storage Appliance Monitor dell-power-store Powerstore Storage Appliance 2 (i.e, monitorKey =Powerstore Storage Appliance Monitor, appName = dell-power-store, nativeType = Powerstore Storage Appliance , version = 2)

- Alert Cleared Status:
- Default Values: CLEARED.
- Possible values of Event/Alert Cleared Status configuration property are “ACKNOWLEDGED”,“SUPPRESSED”,“RESOLVED”.
- Alert Severity Mapping:
- Default Values: {“Critical”:“Critical”,“Major”:“Critical”,
“Minor”:“Warning”,“Info”:“Info”,“None”:“Info”} - Possible values of Alert Severity Mapping Filter configuration property are “new”:{“critical”: “Critical”,“error”: “Critical”,“warning”: “Warning”,“information”: “Info”,“normal”: “Info”},“acknowledged”: {“critical”: “Critical”,“error”: “Critical”,“warning”: “Warning”,“information”: “Info”,“normal”: “Info”},“obsolete”: {“critical”: “Ok”,“error”: “Ok”,“warning”: “Ok”,“information”: “Ok”,“normal”: “Ok”},“resolved”: {“critical”: “Ok”,“error”: “Ok”,“warning”: “Ok”,“information”: “Ok”,“normal”: “Ok”}.
- Default Values: {“Critical”:“Critical”,“Major”:“Critical”,

- Below are the default values set for:
- Select the following Custom Attributes:
Functionality | Description |
---|---|
Custom Attribute | Select the custom attribute from the drop down list box. |
Value | Select the value from the drop down list box. |
Note: The custom attribute that you add here will be assigned to all the resources that are created by the integration. You can add a maximum of five custom attributes (key and value pair).
- In the RESOURCE TYPE section, select:
- ALL: All the existing and future resources will be discovered.
- SELECT: You can select one or multiple resources to be discovered.
- In the DISCOVERY SCHEDULE section, select Recurrence Pattern to add one of the following patterns:
- Minutes
- Hourly
- Daily
- Weekly
- Monthly
- Click ADD.
Now the configuration is saved and displayed on the configurations page after you save it. From the same page, you may Edit and Remove the created configuration.
Under the ADVANCED SETTINGS, Select the Bypass Resource Reconciliation option, if you wish to bypass resource reconciliation when encountering the same resources discovered by multiple applications.
Note: If two different applications provide identical discovery attributes, two separate resources will be generated with those respective attributes from the individual discoveries.
Click NEXT.
(Optional) Click +ADD to create a new collector by providing a name or use the pre-populated name.
- Select an existing registered profile.
- Click FINISH.
The application is installed and displayed on the INSTALLED INTEGRATION page. Use the search field to find the installed integration.

Risks, Limitations And Assumptions
- Application can handle Critical/Recovery failure alert notifications for below two cases when user enables App Failure Notifications in configuration:
- Connectivity Exception
- Authentication Exception
- Application will send duplicate/repeat failure alert notification for every 6 hours.
- Application cannot control monitoring pause/resume actions based on above alerts. Metrics can be used to monitor Powerstore resources and can generate alerts based on the threshold values.
- OpsRamp has provided 443 as default Port value for processing Power store Rest APIs. Users can modify this value from the application configuration page at any point of time if required.
- The Template Applied Time will only be displayed if the collector profile (Classic and NextGen Gateway) is version 18.1.0 or higher.
- Power store Event/Alert polling will be started only if the user enables Event/Alert Polling in configuration. Possible values of Alert Severity Filter configuration are Critical, Major, Minor, Info, None.
- OpsRamp has given default mappings to map Power store Severity with OpsRamp Severities as part of Alert Severity Mapping configuration. Users can modify them as per their use-case at any point of time from the application configuration page. Possible OpsRamp Severities are Critical, Warning, Ok, Info.
- Provided below default severity mapping in configuration {“Critical”:“Critical”,“Major”:“Critical”,“Minor”:“Warning”,“Info”:“Info”,“None”:“Info”}
- Latest snapshot metric support from gateway version 14.0.0.
