Overview

Monitor your Pure Storage FlashArray fleet using this Dynatrace Extension 2.0 and the Pure Storage FlashArray OpenMetrics exporter. The integration can provide performance data at the array, host, volume and pod level, as well as high-level capacity and configuration information. Monitor multiple FlashArrays and aggregate these into a single dashboard, or group them together by customer defined environment.

This extension provides 2x integrated dashboards:

Pure Storage Overview (OpenMetrics) Dashboard

Monitor your fleet of FlashArrays in one simple view, displaying:

Purity OS Version
Alerts & Criticality
Data Reduction Ratio
Capacity Utilization
Data Throughput
IOPS by type

See Metric Endpoints & Scrape Intervals section for details on which metrics endpoints and feature sets are required for this dashboard.

Pure Storage Entity Overview Dashboard

Drill down into individual FlashArray configurations and components.

Feature Sets

Explore and select metrics from the following feature sets:

default (array details)
Alerts
Directories
Hosts
HW
Network Interfaces
Pods
Volumes

Use cases

This extension would be super useful for empowered Pure Storage Administrators and Site Reliability Engineers to capture metrics for FlashArray to utilize the awesome overview dashboard displaying high level fleet statistics and configuration.

Users will be able to:

View high level array configuration
Monitor performance metrics and configure alerts
Correlate FlashArray metrics with other platforms

Compatibility information

Purity

Pure Storage FlashArray Purity version 6.1.0 onwards. Some metrics may have been exposed in later versions of Purity REST API 2.x and Pure Storage OpenMetrics exporter.

Pure Storage FlashArray Purity version 6.7.0 onwards has the OpenMetrics Exporter integrated into the Purity Operating Environment.

Pure Storage OpenMetrics Exporter Configuration

Dynatrace requires secure connections when using any kind of authentication. Pure Storage OpenMetrics Exporter must be configured with either:

Insecure: http with API tokens.yaml file and no authentication
Secure: TLS https with bearer token

Dynatrace will not allow Pure Storage OpenMetrics Exporter to be configured with standard http and bearer token.
