Selecting the services to monitor for a Dell device

The supported Dell devices have basic and detailed services associated with them. You can choose to monitor all or any of these services at any given time.

By default, only the basic services are selected for a reachable or discovered Dell device based on the protocol you have selected. If you do not want to monitor any of the basic services, expand the Dell <device> Basic Services where <Device> is any of the reachable Dell devices that are listed under Dell Reachable devices and clear the check-box adjacent to it.

Similarly, to select any of the detailed services, expand Dell <device> Detailed Services, and then click the check-box adjacent to it.

For example:

To select the Dell Storage EqualLogic Group Storage Pool Information service, expand Dell Equal Logic Storage Array Detailed Services , and then click the check-box adjacent to it.
