We need the collector for E and EF series very much!
This will help us a lot.

I’m very glad to see that the E-Series collector is planned for the upcoming 26.02 release. This is something I have been requesting for a while, and I truly appreciate that it’s now on the roadmap.

I have a set of metrics that our customers frequently ask for when monitoring E-Series systems. It would be great if these metrics could be considered and included in the development plan for the new collector.

Here are the metrics our customers are looking for:

1. System Information
   • hostname, admin IP, serial number, account, firmware version, time zone, model, space (total, used, free)
   • real capacity provisioned available, cpu usage, cache usage, host/NQN information
     2.Port Information
   • port ID, mode(connection type), state(online/offline), IP
2. Hardware Status
   • node, fan, IO module, disk, battery, power status
3. Volume Information
   • volume name, capacity, WWID, mapping
4. CPU/Memory Usage - by cluster and node
5. Cache Usage - by cluster and node.
6. Disk Utilization and Busy Ratio - by cluster and node.
7. IOPS (Total/Read/Write) - By host & volume & port
8. Throughput (Total/Read/Write) - By host & volume & port
9. Latency- By host & node & volume
10. Queue Length - By host & node & volume
11. Space Usage - By host & volume
12. Host Connection Info - By host & volume
13. Network metrics
    • such as TX/RX, NIC error count, re-transmit, packet drop etc.(Port Level) - By cluster & port

Thanks again for your ongoing efforts and for considering this request!
