You can find all details to run it on GitHub

Goal is to have grafana, influxdb and python script running to grab DataCore SANsymphony REST API performances

Quick Start

To start the container the first time launch this by replacing -e variables:

DCSSVR -> DataCore Server (IP or hostname)
DCSREST -> DataCore Rest API Server(IP or hostname)
DCSUNAME -> DataCore User name
DCSPWORD -> DataCore user password

docker run --ulimit nofile=66000:66000 \
  -d \
  --name grafana-datacore \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -p 8888:8888 \
  -p 8086:8086 \
  -p 22022:22 \
  -p 8125:8125/udp \
  -e "DCSSVR=X.X.X.X" \
  -e "DCSREST=X.X.X.X" \
  -e "DCSUNAME=administrator" \
  -e "DCSPWORD=password" \
  lblanc/grafana-integration:latest

If you have special characters in the password, do not forget the escapement ’’ before (ex: “password!” will be “password\!”)

If you want to monitor also vSphere you can add this variables:

VSPHERE_USER -> vSphere user
VSPHERE_PASS -> vSphere password
VSPHERE_VCENTER -> vSphere vCenter (IP or hostname)
VSPHERE_DOM -> vSphere domain

docker run --ulimit nofile=66000:66000 \
  -d \
  --name grafana-datacore \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -p 8888:8888 \
  -p 8086:8086 \
  -p 22022:22 \
  -p 8125:8125/udp \
  -e "DCSSVR=X.X.X.X" \
  -e "DCSREST=X.X.X.X" \
  -e "DCSUNAME=administrator" \
  -e "DCSPWORD=password" \
  -e "VSPHERE_USER=administrator@vsphere.local" \
  -e "VSPHERE_PASS=password" \
  -e "VSPHERE_VCENTER=X.X.X.X" \
  lblanc/grafana-integration:latest

To stop the container launch:

docker stop grafana-datacore

To start the container again launch:

docker start grafana-datacore

Persistent data

You can optionaly add volume option to store Grafana configuration and influxdb files Example:

docker run --ulimit nofile=66000:66000 \
  -d \
  --name grafana-datacore \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -p 8888:8888 \
  -p 8086:8086 \
  -p 22022:22 \
  -p 8125:8125/udp \
  -v my-volume:/data \
  -e "DCSSVR=X.X.X.X" \
  -e "DCSREST=X.X.X.X" \
  -e "DCSUNAME=administrator" \
  -e "DCSPWORD=password" \
  -e "VSPHERE_USER=administrator@vsphere.local" \
  -e "VSPHERE_PASS=password" \
  -e "VSPHERE_VCENTER=X.X.X.X" \
  lblanc/grafana-integration:latest
