Introduction
The integration of hardware/software - hereinafter referred to as "system" - into the CIO Cockpit not only requires the registration of the systems themselves but also the configuration of the data collection. Data collection is set up centrally via the Data Collection Management (DCM).
Compatibility
Supported System Versions
No restrictions are known.
Requirements in the CIO Cockpit
To set up the data collection, the system must first be created in the CIO Cockpit (see FAQs). There are two ways to create the system.
- In Data Collection Management during the setup of the data collection (Data Collectors & Assets -> Add Data Collector System -> Create New Element)
- Administrative area in the CIO Cockpit Web Frontend (Configuration -> Assets). If you choose this path of data collection setup, you must select the system that was previously created in the web frontend (Data Collectors & Assets -> Add Data Collector System -> Use existing element).
Configuration Notes for Data Collection Management
| Field name | Required content |
|---|---|
| Hostname | IP or Host name (111.222.333.444 or mydatadomain.local) |
| Username | Username for the CIO Cockpit data collection |
| Password | Password for the login with the selected user |
| Cockpit Reference | The entry for the system in the CIO Cockpit (is set automatically) |
| Description | A short description of the created asset (free text field) |
System Access
Users and authorizations
The data collection takes place via SSH.
To access the DataDomain via SSH, a user account (recommendation: cockpit_svc) with the minimum authorization "User" is required.
Network and firewall
The following settings are required for the communication between the data collector and the system:
| Source | Destination | Port(default) | Protocol | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| data-collection-vm | DataDomain | 22 (SSH) | TCP | outbound |
KPI scope of the Data Collection
StorageUsage Job
| KPI | Details |
|---|---|
| assetID | The CIO Cockpit ID of the asset. Visible in the asset overview of the CIO Cockpit Web Frontend |
| timestamp | Time stamp with microsecond accuracy of the host OS on which the data collector is running (UTC) |
| storageCapacity | Total capacity of the available storage |
| storageUsed | Occupied storage space |
| storageUncompressed | Capacity of stored data in uncompressed state |
| dedupFactor | Compression factor (The dedupFactor is read directly from the data domain and can be checked as follows: dedupFactor = storageUncompressed / storageUsed) |
| uptime | Runtime since the last reboot [seconds] |
| version | Version of the data domain OS |
| serialNumber | Serial number of the data domain |
| model | Model name of the data domain |
