ScaleIO Historical Performance Monitoring
I did some research on this and got back some info from my EMC SE.
Monitoring EMC ScaleIO with Grafana using Intel SDI’s Snap | {code} by Dell EMC
Monitoring EMC Elastic Cloud Storage with Grafana | {code} by Dell EMC
or GitHub - swisscom/collectd-scaleio: A collectd plugin for scaleio
I chose the latter but found the instructions very sparse. If anyone needs more detailed instructions, I have written them up for internal documentation as my manager didn't want me to have to reinvent the wheel in a year if I needed to configure this again.

I haven't had a chance to upload the script. I just need to put it on on github and see if others have suggestions on how to improve it.

Forgot to share a link to my blog that shows the ready node.

It's missing the script like I mentioned before but I'll try to get it done soon.

Here is the script. Not sure where to update anymore (here or the old EMC ecn).

I know this is an old thread...
I am looking into ways how to collect metrics from PowerFlex 3.5 and found this quite helpful.
One question though...
Shouldn't we collect the data every 5 seconds? I believe it's how REST API returns the data - 5sec. samples. Some values would be lost if we collect data with lower frequency, right?

Hi PeWu --- typically most people use the Grafana appliance which you can find the full details of here: https://powerflex.me/2020/07/27/historical-reporting-for-your-powerflex-cluster-with-grafana/
Specifically though, you can download it and the documentation here: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AmWHx24GTF-cuAl5Y8hESDk5YEQm
Within there, you will be able to see a file telegraf-vxflex.zip --- within that file you should be able to determine exactly the interval.... okay it seems to be 10 seconds as per the vxflex-telegraf-influxdb.conf file:
commands = ['python /var/local/telegraf-vxflex/siocli.py flex-cluster1']
data_format = "influx"
interval = "10s"
timeout = "5s"
tagexclude = ["host"]
This has worked really well for us over the years.
