StarWind Software

Hi,
After a discussion with your support staff, it seems the following features are not available at this time. Although, I am still looking into WMI classes as it feels like your GUI is using Windows Performance Counters in one way or another so I might be able to 'hack' my way into getting those.

It would be great if:
* You could monitor the disk space consumed / size of disks via SNMP / Traps / WMI
* You could monitor the performance as seen by StarWind via SNMP / Traps / WMI
* You could monitor the health of servers / replicas / HA / Deduplication via SNMP / Traps / WMI
* You could monitor the network bandwidth / IOPS consumed by each host per image via SNMP / Traps / WMI / GUI

Thanks
Olivier

Hello Olivier,
Thank you for your interest in StarWind solution.
Your request will be sent to our R&D team.
I hope this features will be available in next builds.
Thanks,

Hi!

I think, this is a critical point. Isn't there any possibility to monitor the status of a cluster? I think, the most important things are:

- Status of a volume:
- Synchronization State
- Number iSCSI-Sessions


...and perhaps some performance counters...

We'll be releasing StarWind Manager quite soon, and we'll be making it expandable so it would be trivial to add missing functionality by yourself Please stay tuned!

Hi Anton!

What I did now, was using a powershell script to find the synchronization state of the two nodes. Your example GetHASyncState.ps1 is very helpful. The only problem is, that it is showing "synchronized" on node-1, when node-2 is completely down.

KPS

Dear KPS,
Thanks for your question.
The Sync state will show you "Synchronized" on the node which is online because devices on this node have status "Synchronized".
There is 3 different state of StarWind device which can show:
1) Synchonized - ready to connect
2) Not Synchronized - StarWind service is not available. We can't connect to this target
3) Synchronizing - StarWind service is available and performing the Synchronization. We still can't connect to this device.
Note: Once StarWind device will be "Synchronized" we able to connect to this device.
Please do not hesitate to ask any additional questions
Thanks,
Ivan

Starwind,
It would also be helpful if you could throttle email notifications.
I find that Starwind will bombard me with hundreds of emails whenever a loss of sync occurs and due to the sheer volume, I'll receive emails hours after the actual event occurred.

I requested this feature at least a year ago.

Thanks,
Elvis

Dear Elvis,
Thanks for your message.
I will forward your request to our R&D (I am pretty sure it was forwarded year ago ).
I believe "letter spam" will be fixed in next builds.
Thanks,
Ivan
