EMC Isilon x200
The EMC Isilon x200, powered by the OneFS operating system, uses a versatile but simple scale-out storage architecture to allow rapid access to massive amounts of data, while reducing cost and complexity.
This connector was designed to make the current statistics provided by the device available in an element.
About
This connector makes use of HTTP commands to retrieve information about the current statistics. The information is retrieved using the Isilon OneFS API Reference.
Data is polled at 15-second intervals. The Session Cookie will be renewed automatically after the Session Timeout Absolute has expired.

Installation and configuration
Creation
HTTP main connection
This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:
HTTP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
- IP port: The IP port of the destination. By default, 8080.
- Bus address: If the proxy server has to be bypassed, specify bypassproxy.
HTTP secondary connection
In branch 2.0.0.x, this connector uses a secondary HTTP connection, which requires the following input during element creation:
HTTP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
- IP port: The IP port of the destination. By default, 8080.
- Bus address: If the proxy server has to be bypassed, specify bypassproxy.
Configuration of credentials
In order to start a new cookie session between DataMiner and the OneFS system, you must set the OneFS User Name and Password on the General page.
Note: If you need a CSRF Authentication Cookie, please enable this option, otherwise you will not be able to poll information from the device.
Usage
General
On this page, the OneFS User Name/Password must be set.
Below this, information is displayed about the currently established session. In branch 2.0.0.x, there is not only information on the currently established session, but also on the connectivity of the two HTTP connections.
With the buttons on the right-hand side of the page, you can enable or disable polling of a certain group of keys. In branch 2.0.0.x, these polling controls are on the left.
