Overall health status of the Dell EMC devices
You can monitor the overall health status of the Dell EMC devices in the Nagios Core console. The overall health status is an aggregate
status of the components of the supported Dell EMC devices.
Health Instances
You can monitor the health instances of all the Dell EMC devices using the Nagios Core Console. The health instances indicates the health
status of the discovered Dell EMC device. The instances are shown under the status information tab.
By default the unhealthy instances are shown for the discovered devices in the Nagios core console. Based on the monitoring
requirement, you can change the value of --excludeinstance in the host configuration file. Restart the Nagios Service after changing
the values.
NOTE:
To view all the instances of any service for the Dell EMC device in Nagios Core Console, navigate to
<NAGIOS_HOME>/dell/config/objects and click on the cfg file of the discovered device. To see all the instances for
the required service, remove the --excludeinstance="status=Ok" command from the check_command script.
NOTE: Health instances is not applicable for Information Services, Overall Health Services and Warranty Services of the
discovered Dell EMC devices.
