Monitoring Status and Activity with SNMP Traps
On Windows and Linux systems, you can monitor status and activity in your storage space with Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps. Using the maxView Storage Manager GUI or an OS
monitoring tool, a system can receive SNMP trap notifications, for instance, when a disk drive fails or
a logical drive verification begins.
For information about about setting up SNMP traps on your system, see Configuring SNMP Notifications
on Windows and Linux on page 144.
Monitoring Advanced Statistics about Activity in Your Storage Space
You can set maxView Storage Manager to log advanced I/O and usage statistics about the RAID controllers,
hard drives, SSDs, and logical drives in your storage space, including maxCache caching statistics.
Follow the instructions in this section to:
• Enable statistics logging on a controller (see Setting up Statistics Logging on page 124).
Note: Statistics logging for maxCache Plus virtual volumes is enabled by default
and does not require user activation or setup.
• View the advanced statistics for a controller, hard drive, SSD, logical drive, or virtual volume (see
Viewing Advanced Statistics on page 125).
• Reset the statistics counters (see Resetting the Statistics Counters on page 126).
