Introduction
NetApp StorageGRID is a software-defined, object based storage solution that supports industry standard object APIs like the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). It allows you to build a single namespace across up to 16 data centers worldwide, with customizable service levels for metadata-driven object lifecycle policies. The integrated lifecycle management policies optimize where your data lives throughout its lifecycle.
StorageGRID optimizes the durability and availability of your data across multiple geographies. Whether your data is on premises or in a public cloud, it enables hybrid cloud workflows to fit your business demands with access to Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS), Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure Blob,Amazon Glacier, Elasticsearch, and similar services.
Key Use cases
Discovery Use cases
It discovers the NetApp StorageGRID components. The following are the resource structure.
- Grid
- StorageGRID Site
- StorageGRID Node
- StorageGRID Node Disk
- StorageGRID Node Volume
- StorageGRID Tenant
- StorageGRID Bucket
- Grid
Publishes relationships between resources to have a topological view and ease of maintenance.
Monitoring Use cases
- Provides metrics related to job scheduling time and status etc..
- Concern alerts will be generated for each metric to notify the administrator regarding the issue with the resource.
Pre-Requisites
- OpsRamp Classic Gateway 13.0.0 and above.
- Provided IpAddress/hostname, Credentials should work for StorageGrid Management REST Apis.

Default Monitoring Configurations
NetApp storageGRID 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 use cases by cloning respective global templates and global Device Management Policies. OpsRamp recommends performing the below activity before installing the application to avoid noise alerts and data.
Default Global Device Management Policies
OpsRamp has a Global Device Management Policy for each Native Type of NetApp StorageGRID. You can find those Device Management Policies at Setup -> Resources -> Device Management Policies, search with suggested names in global scope. Each Device Management Policy follows below naming convention:
{appName nativeType - version}
Ex: netapp-storagegrid StorageGRID - 1 (i.e, appName = netapp-storagegrid, nativeType =StorageGRID, version = 1)
Default Global Templates
OpsRamp has a Global template for each Native Type of NetApp StorageGRID. You can find those templates at Setup -> Monitoring -> Templates, search with suggested names in global scope. Each template follows below naming convention:
{appName nativeType 'Template' - version}
Ex: netapp-storagegrid StorageGRID Template - 1 (i.e, appName = netapp-storagegrid , nativeType = StorageGRID, version = 1)
Default Global Monitors
OpsRamp has a Global Monitors for each Native Type which has monitoring support. You can find those monitors at Setup -> Monitoring -> Monitors, search with suggested names in global scope. Each Monitors follows below naming convention:
{monitorKey appName nativeType - version}
Ex: Netapp StorageGrid Grid Monitor netapp-storagegrid StorageGRID 1 (i.e, monitorKey = Netapp StorageGrid Grid Monitor, appName = netapp-storagegrid , nativeType = StorageGRID 1 , version= 1
Configure and install the integration
From All Clients, select a client.
Go to Setup > Integrations and Apps. Click Manage Apps.
Notes:
- If there are already installed applications, it will redirect to the INSTALLED APPS page, where all the installed applications are displayed.
- If there are no installed applications, it will navigate to the ADD APP page.

Click + ADD on the INSTALLED APP page. The ADD APP page displays all the available applications along with the newly created application with the version.
Note: You can even search for the application using the search option available. Also you can use the All Categories option to search.

- Click ADD in the NetApp StorageGRID application.
- In the Configurations page, click + ADD. The Add Configuration page appears.
- Enter the below mentioned BASIC INFORMATION:
Object Name | Description |
---|---|
Name | Enter the name for the configuration. |
IP Address/Host Name of the Primary Admin Node | Host name or the IP address provided for the Primary Admin Node. |
API Port | API Port information |
IP Address/Host Name of the GRID | Host name or the IP address provided for the GRID. |
Credentials | Select the credentials from the drop-down list. Note: Click + Add to create a credential. |
Notes:
- By default the Is Secure checkbox is selected.
- Select App Failure Notifications: if turned on, you will be notified in case of an application failure that is, Connectivity Exception, Authentication Exception.
- Select the below mentioned CUSTOM ATTRIBUTE:
Object Name | 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.
Note: From the same page, you may Edit and Remove the created configuration.
Click NEXT.
In the Installation page, select an existing registered gateway profile, and click FINISH.

The application is now installed and displayed on the Installed Integration page. Use the search field to find the installed application.
Modify the Configuration
See Modify an Installed Integration or Application article.
Note: Select the NetApp StorageGRID application.
View the NetApp StorageGRID details
The discovered resource(s) are displayed in Infrastructure > Resources > Storage, with Native Resource Type as StorageGRID. You can navigate to the Attributes tab to view the discovery details, and Metrics tab to view the metric details for NetApp StorageGRID.
