Dell PowerStore Storage Sensors
As an IT Infrastructure Manager migrating from Dell EMC Unity to Dell PowerStore storage systems, I want native PRTG sensors for PowerStore monitoring (equivalent to current Unity sensors) plus dedicated replication health monitoring, so that I can maintain comprehensive storage visibility without manual REST API configuration.
PRTG has a lot of useful sensors for the Dell EMC Unity storage, which we are glad to have. Unfortunately Dell announced their end of sale in August 2025 and for the first hardware generation their end of service in July 2026.
The successor to Unity is the PowerStore storage system. Unfortunately the only option to monitor this system is via REST-API, so a simple SNMP sensor with OID values from the MIB is not possible. I know that there is the possibility of the REST Custom v2 sensor, but I would rather prefer a native one than spending days or even longer to recreate every Unity sensor we use now.
Acceptance Criteria:
1. Copy the Unity sensors and adapt them for PowerStore
2. PowerStore has a native (a)synchronous replication feature (e.g. 2 PowerStores in different locations in combination with a witness-VM). Create a new sensor to monitor this data protection feature.
