Setting up NetApp API Services for full-stack visibility using Blue Medora

When looking for deeper visibility into your NetApp FAS systems, look no further than Blue Medora’s management pack for VMware vRealize Operations Manager (vROps). The management pack provides 8 dashboards to view 1500+ metrics, numerous capacity calculations and resource dependencies for NetApp aggregates, disks, LUNs, LUN VVOLs, Qtrees, vServers, systems, processors, vfilers, and volumes.

Blue Medora uses REST calls into NetApp OnCommand API Services and extracts information on the performance and state of your NetApp arrays, forwarding it to vROps–the tool you already love for monitoring and troubleshooting your virtual environment. The link to the video below goes through the step-by-step instructions to setup NetApp API Services for Blue Medora access within your environment.

Once you have followed the steps in the video, you will be ready to monitor and troubleshoot your NetApp systems quickly, and proactively optimize both storage and related system performance up and down your infrastructure stack.
