PRTG Manual: HPE 3PAR Drive Enclosure Sensor
The HPE 3PAR Drive Enclosure sensor monitors a drive enclosure of an HPE 3PAR storage system.
For a detailed list and descriptions of the channels that this sensor can show, see section Channel List.
▪Dutch: HPE 3PAR Drive Enclosure
▪French: HPE 3PAR Drive Enclosure
▪German: HPE 3PAR Drive Enclosure
▪Japanese: HPE 3PAR Drive Enclosure
▪Portuguese: HPE 3PAR Drive Enclosure
▪Russian: HPE 3PAR Drive Enclosure
▪Simplified Chinese: HPE 3PAR Drive Enclosure
▪Spanish: HPE 3PAR Drive Enclosure
▪This sensor requires credentials for HPE 3PAR in settings that are higher in the object hierarchy, for example, in the settings of the parent device.
▪This sensor supports the IPv6 protocol.
▪This sensor has a very low performance impact.
▪See the Knowledge Base: Where can I find the Web Services API (WSAPI) port for the connection to the HPE 3PAR system?
The Add Sensor dialog appears when you manually add a new sensor to a device. It only shows the settings that are required to create the sensor. You can change nearly all settings on the sensor's Settings tab after creation.

Setting |
Description |
---|---|
Drive Enclosure |
Select the drive enclosures that you want to monitor. PRTG creates one sensor for each drive enclosure that you select.
|
Click the Settings tab of a sensor to change its settings.

Description |
---|---|
Sensor Name |
Enter a name to identify the sensor. By default, PRTG shows this name in the device tree, as well as in alarms, logs, notifications, reports, maps, libraries, and tickets.
|
Parent Tags |
Shows tags that the sensor inherits from its parent device, parent group, and parent probe.
|
Tags |
Enter one or more tags. Confirm each tag with the Spacebar key, a comma, or the Enter key. You can use tags to group objects and use tag-filtered views later on. Tags are not case-sensitive. Tags are automatically inherited.
The sensor has the following default tags that are automatically predefined in the sensor's settings when you add the sensor: ▪hpe ▪hpe3par ▪ssh ▪enclosure |
Priority |
Select a priority for the sensor. This setting determines the position of the sensor in lists. The highest priority is at the top of a list. Choose from the lowest priority ( |
Setting |
Description |
---|---|
ID |
Shows the ID of the drive enclosure that this sensor monitors.
|
Enclosure Name |
Shows the name of the drive enclosure that this sensor monitors.
|
Drive Count |
Shows the number of drives in the enclosure that this sensor monitors.
|
Model |
Shows the model of the drive enclosure that this sensor monitors.
|
Form Factor |
Shows the form factor of the drive bays of the enclosure that this sensor monitors.

Primary Channel |
Select a channel from the list to define it as the primary channel. In the device tree, the last value of the primary channel is always displayed below the sensor's name. The available options depend on what channels are available for this sensor.
|
Graph Type |
Define how different channels are shown for this sensor: ▪Show channels independently (default): Show a graph for each channel. ▪Stack channels on top of each other: Stack channels on top of each other to create a multi-channel graph. This generates a graph that visualizes the different components of your total traffic. |
Stack Unit |
This setting is only visible if you enable Stack channels on top of each other as Graph Type. Select a unit from the list. All channels with this unit are stacked on top of each other. By default, you cannot exclude single channels from stacking if they use the selected unit. However, there is an advanced procedure to do so. |

Description |
---|---|
Result Handling |
Define what PRTG does with the sensor result: ▪Discard result: Do not store the sensor result. ▪Store result: Store the last sensor result in the \Logs\sensors subfolder of the PRTG data directory on the probe system. The file name is Result of Sensor [ID].log. This setting is for debugging purposes. PRTG overwrites this file with each scanning interval.
|
By default, all of these settings are inherited from objects that are higher in the hierarchy. We recommend that you change them centrally in the root group settings if necessary. To change a setting for this object only, click under the corresponding setting name to disable the inheritance and to display its options.
For more information, see section Inheritance of Settings.
The minimum scanning interval of this sensor is 1 minute.
The recommended scanning interval of this sensor is 5 minutes.
For more information, see section Root Group Settings, section Scanning Interval.
Schedules, Dependencies, and Maintenance Window
You cannot interrupt the inheritance for schedules, dependencies, and maintenance windows. The corresponding settings from the parent objects are always active. However, you can define additional schedules, dependencies, and maintenance windows. They are active at the same time as the parent objects' settings.
For more information, see section Root Group Settings, section Schedules, Dependencies, and Maintenance Window.
For more information, see section Root Group Settings, section Access Rights.
Which channel units are available depends on the sensor type and the available parameters. If no configurable channels are available, this field shows No configurable channels.
For more information, see section Root Group Settings, section Channel Unit Configuration.
Which channels the sensor actually shows might depend on the target device, the available components, and the sensor setup.
