Currently, I use two Dell PowerStore systems, and I'm responsible for disposing of systems in our environment. We need to upgrade our systems, but we are working on less pressing issues. Right now, we are focused on Windows ten to Windows eleven changes in our Xen environment. Therefore, we need the NFS from the PowerStore. Checkmk does not work too easily with the PowerStore. I use a PowerShell script as Checkmk runs on Linux and a Windows system, connecting with the Checkmk agent. On this system, a PowerShell script runs, accessing the PowerStore via the API to retrieve information. I create special outputs, needed by Checkmk, and then I get the information to Checkmk.

My company uses Checkmk to monitor our core servers, and we also use it for our network devices for more of a storing thing because the DNA part keeps about a week's worth of work, and that's about it. You can't look back into the previous year.
