Good Afternoon,
I have been setting up Observium, which I am relatively new to, and am not sure how to monitor the volumes of the EqualLogic Storage Array, Observium has detected it and provided sensors for the Physical Disk, fan, Controllers, and so on but no volumes are picked up.
According to the following link, there are MIBs for this.
https://mibs.observium.org/mib/EQLVOLUME-MIB/
If I SNMPWALK the OID's then I get the expected data, would it be possible for someone to advise how I may go about getting this data to be shown in Observium itself?
Thanks Chris
I assume it's just that no one has written support for this.
At present we only have the "storage" entity which tracks total and used/free space, it might just need some code written to collect that from this MIB, whichever table it's in.

Hi Adam,
Thank you for your reply, oddly enough I do not get used/free space either.
I wonder if that has to do with the firmware version on my particular EqualLogics?
Thanks Chris
For every individual bit of data that's collected, someone had to at some point write some code to collect it. It's likely that in this case no one did!
Do you know where this data is exactly in that MIB?
You can do walks with the MIBs loaded with something like:
snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c <community> -M mibs/rfc:mibs/equalogic -m ALL <device> <table/object oid>
That MIB is quite heavy. For example it'd likely take a month or two to write all of the code to collect and expose the data in there, even if we did have the existing infrastructure to handle it all.
