Previously, Administrators of Red Hat Storage deployments had no easy mechanism to track the health of a server. A poll-based mechanism used the existing glusterFS CLI to identify the volume status and node status. A five minute polling interval displayed stale data. In this release, with the Nagios plugin integration, the Red Hat Storage Console has monitoring capabilities such as -Monitoring of critical entities such as servers, networking, volumes, clusters and services -Alerting when critical infrastructure components fail and  recover, providing administrators with notice of important events. Alerts can be delivered via email and SNMP. -Reports providing a historical record of outages, events and notifications for later review. -Trending and capacity planning graphs and reports that allow for infrastructure upgrades before failures.
