Hi Everyone ...

We have commvault solution in our environment which we have to integrate with Prometheus for Hardware monitoring. However it is found that commvault don't support PULL mechanism on which prometheus works. Is there any other alternate through which we can integrate prometheus with commvault. Pls suggest


Thanks,
Saurabh

The email subject mentions SNMP. That is fully supported using the SNMP Exporter: https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter

I think the point is that commvault only implements traps, and has no metrics that can be polled via the snmp_exporter.

In this case, Prometheus is not really a possible monitoring solution, as it's not an event store.

Or you could write a custom exporter which accepts the trap events and
then publishes some metrics based on them (number of times the trap
happened, etc.)

I've no idea if that would be any use however!

How about using snmptt (http://www.snmptt.org/) to receive the traps and push them to Prometheus pushgateway?

How can we achieve this?

Do you have any sample configuration for the same.
