The SYMON Monitoring Plugin for Dell EMC DataDomain monitors hardware, CPU capacity, network connections, and the status of hard drives. It provides values for the volume of data used and the compression factor, as well as information on network traffic, status of replication and service monitoring (DD Boost, VTL, ...). Status reports for all network ports as well as traffic of data are available at any time and essential for trend and performance anlyses.

The SYMON Monitoring Plugin for DataDomain consists of a data collector (datadomain_collector) and various checks for different components of the Dell EMC DataDomain system. The collector of the SYMON Monitoring Plugin for DataDomain defines the checking interval. If you want to check certain components every 15 minutes, you have to set the checking interval of the collector to 15 minutes. The checking interval has to be the same for all components, meaning it must be set at the interval of the component with the shortest desired checking interval.
