Performance Monitoring — Start by assessing alarms on all storage devices. See Monitoring Storage Performance. |
2 |
Capacity Monitoring — After you acknowledge and/or resolve device-level alarms, you may want to investigate individual storage devices and their components. See Investigating Storage Devices. |
3 |
Connectivity and I/O Performance Monitoring — You can identify performance or connectivity problems that occur during I/O requests by viewing diagrams that place storage components within the context of the virtualization environment, from VMs and hosts to storage devices. See Assessing Connectivity and I/O Performance. |
Storage Administrators need to respond to reports about problems in the storage environment.

When you begin monitoring your storage environment, a good way to start is by identifying poorly-performing devices and resolving the issues that are contributing to the problems. In Foglight for Storage Management, all storage devices and their child components are assigned a status, which enables you to see at glance which elements in your storage infrastructure need attention. Any device that enters a non-Normal status triggers an alarm. For more information, see Understanding Status, Alarms, and Rules in Foglight for Storage Management.
