hpessa-exporter

Overview

Openshift’s hpessa-exporter allows users to export SMART information of
local storage devices as Prometheus metrics, by using
HPE Smart Storage Administrator tool. Those metrics (device status, temperature
etc.) may hint administrators on potential up-coming failures.

Prerequisites

  • Install RedHat’s Openshift (4.9+)
  • Install HPE Smart Storage Administrator
    on local host machines. Ensure that the ssacli is installed on one of the
    following locations:

    • /usr/sbin/ssacli
    • /opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli
    • /opt/hp/ssacli/bld/ssacli

Deployment

Use deployment yaml from this repository:

oc apply -f deply/hpessa-exporter.yaml

Verify that exporter daemonset pods are up and running:

$ oc get pods -n openshift-storage-hpessa
NAME                    READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
hpessa-exporter-2cbvl   1/1     Running   0          35s
hpessa-exporter-sk2cn   1/1     Running   0          35s
hpessa-exporter-v699z   1/1     Running   0          35s

Verify that each of the running pods exports local metrics
