Overview

Monitor Dell PowerScale directly inside Grafana

Native OneFS Platform API

Session auth + optional CA verification

Single pane of glass for scale-out NAS

Self-managed & Grafana Cloud

The Dell PowerScale plugin is a backend data source plugin that queries and visualizes PowerScale (formerly Isilon) cluster metrics, storage statistics, and system events inside Grafana, using the native OneFS API. Storage administrators and DevOps teams get a high-fidelity view of their scale-out NAS environment without leaving the dashboards they already use for the rest of their stack.

PowerScale delivers high-performance, scalable storage for unstructured data, and when it hits a bottleneck, the impact ripples across every application it serves. The plugin connects to the OneFS API to retrieve real-time and historical metrics, including cluster health, node performance, protocol statistics, storage capacity, quotas, NFS exports, and system events, so teams can pinpoint congestion, forecast capacity, and audit configuration from a single pane of glass.

Coverage

What You Can Monitor

The plugin exposes cluster, node, and protocol-level metrics through the OneFS Statistics API, with node-specific filtering for detailed per-node analysis.

01 — Cluster

Cluster Metrics

CPU utilization, network throughput, IFS filesystem capacity and usage, SSD statistics, and overall cluster health across all nodes.

02 — Node

Node Metrics

Per-node CPU, network, capacity, and memory, with L2/L3 cache hit and miss rates plus disk latency, queue depth, and transfer rates.

03 — Protocol

Protocol Metrics

Operations across NFS, SMB, and protocols like SyncIQ, HDFS, and S3, with active and connected client counts to gauge real workload demand.

Pre-Built Dashboards

Insight without building panels from scratch

Three ready-to-use dashboards get teams to insight on day one, plus the data source configuration you'll use to make them your own.

1 / 4

Cluster Health and Overview

A high-level view of cluster uptime, node status, and overall system health.

Performance and Network

Throughput, latency, and network activity to spot congestion and performance spikes.

Cluster Insights

Deeper capacity, storage pool, and workload analytics for planning and optimization.

Data Source Configuration

Cluster URL, API port, TLS with optional CA certificate, and OneFS credentials, then Save & test.

Differentiators

Why Crest Data's PowerScale Plugin?

Native & Agentless

Talks directly to the OneFS Platform API in real-time with session authentication and optional CA certificate verification. No agents, no exporters, no extra collection layer.

Deep OneFS Coverage

Eleven queryable resources spanning statistics, workloads, storage pools, node pools, quotas, NFS exports, events, and licenses, well beyond basic capacity monitoring.
