Risks, Limitations and Assumptions

  • The metric can be used to monitor PowerProtect Data Manager resources and can generate alerts based on the threshold values.
  • The integration can manage critical/recovery failure alerts for the following two scenarios when the user activates App Failure Notifications in the settings:
    • Connectivity Exception
    • Authentication Exceptionon
  • Dell PowerProtect Data Manager cannot control monitoring pause/resume actions based on above alerts.
  • Dell PowerProtect Data Manager will not send any duplicate/repeat failure alert notification until the already existed critical alert is recovered.
  • We have provided 8443 as default Port value for processing PowerProtect Data Manager Rest APIs. You can modify this value from application configuration page at any point of time if requires.
  • Power Protect Data Manager Event/Alert polling will start only if the user enables Event Polling in configuration. Possible values of Alert Severity Filter configuration are “INFORMATIONAL”,“WARNING”,“CRITICAL”. Based on these values alerts are filtered and user can customize this at any point of time.
  • We have given default mappings to map PowerProtect Data MAnager Severity with OpsRamp Severities as part of Alert Severity Mapping configuration. User can modify them as per their use-case at any point of time from application configuration page. Possible OpsRamp Severities are Critical, Warning, Ok, Info. Provided below default severity mapping in configuration {“CRITICAL”: “Critical”,“WARNING”: “Warning”,“INFORMATIONAL”: “Info”}
  • No support of showing activity log and applied time.
  • Support for getting the latest snapshot metrics requires opsramp gateway version 14.0.0 or later.
