Infrastructure Observability data collection

  • Details on configuring Dell infrastructure, Connectrix, and VMware for Infrastructure Observability can be found in Appendix A: Enabling Infrastructure Observability at the system. After the Dell systems or Connectrix switches have established a connection to Observability, data will be collected and available to the user in the Observability user interface. Dell systems are connected through Secure Connect Gateway or SupportAssist. Observability receives Connectrix, VMware, and PowerSwitch data through a local Observability Collector that sends the data through Secure Connect Gateway to Observability.

    The frequency with which data is updated in Observability varies based on the type of information and the type of system. The following table shows the types of data and the frequency with which Observability updates this information for Unity XT family systems; collection for other systems is comparable:
