Observability

PX-CSI provides built-in observability features to help you monitor the health of the PX-CSI deployment, collect metrics, and send diagnostic information to Everpure support. Observability ensures that both cluster operators and Everpure support can detect issues quickly and maintain system reliability.

Telemetry to Pure1

Telemetry, also known as callhome, enables PX-CSI to automatically send cluster diagnostics and plugin logs to Pure1. This feature allows Everpure support to proactively detect issues and accelerate troubleshooting.

Telemetry data includes cluster identity, status, resource usage, component versions, storage backends, and PX-CSI logs.

For more information, see Telemetry to Pure1.

Monitoring with Prometheus

PX-CSI integrates with Prometheus to expose metrics about driver health, API latencies, and storage usage. By default, PX-CSI deploys Prometheus components in the portworx namespace.

For more information, see Monitor PX-CSI with Prometheus.

Visualizing metrics with Grafana

You can connect Grafana to the PX-CSI Prometheus instance and import the pre-built PX-CSI dashboard to visualize driver health, API latencies, volume usage, and storage connection status in a single view.

For more information, see Monitor PX-CSI with Grafana.

Use cases

• Use telemetry when you want proactive support and fleet-wide insights in Pure1.
• Use Prometheus monitoring when you need real-time visibility into cluster operations and to integrate PX-CSI with your monitoring stack.
• Use Grafana when you want a graphical dashboard view of PX-CSI metrics.

Together, these capabilities provide comprehensive cluster-level observability for PX-CSI deployments.
