Ready-to-Use Alarm Policies for BMC Helix
System Performance & Resource Usage
Detect abnormal filesystem, memory, and network behavior, including disk saturation, low available memory, packet drops, network errors, and excessive paging activity.Hardware Health & Availability
Be immediately alerted when hardware components are missing, degraded, or failing across compute, memory, storage devices, fans, power supplies, and other infrastructure components.Predictive Failure & Device Reliability
Anticipate issues before they occur with early warnings on components at risk of failure, such as CPUs or disks reporting predictive failure, increasing error rates, or low remaining endurance.Cooling & Environmental Monitoring
Identify cooling and environmental issues by detecting degraded or failed fans, low fan speed, and abnormal temperature or voltage conditions.Storage Health & Capacity
Ensure storage reliability by monitoring degraded or failed disks, controllers, and logical disks, as well as LUN path availability and disk health indicators.Network Connectivity & Errors
Get notified when network interfaces are down, not operating correctly, or experiencing abnormal error ratesPower Supply & Battery Health
Detect power-related issues early, including failed or degraded power supplies, missing components, and batteries with low or critical charge levels.MetricsHub Connector Reliability
Be informed immediately if a MetricsHub connector fails, ensuring continuous visibility of your monitored infrastructure.Key Features
Scalable Remote Monitoring
Monitor up to 1,000 systems from a single MetricsHub instance. Eliminate manual setup with fully automated provisioning and programmable configuration.
System Performance Monitoring
Track CPU, memory, filesystem, disk, and network performance on Linux and Windows to detect bottlenecks early and maintain smooth operations.
Hardware monitoring
Detect and predict failures in processors, memory modules, disks, network cards, controllers, power supplies, fans, temperature sensors, and more.
Storage Monitoring
Monitor health, capacity, and performance across disks, volumes, and controllers. Track I/O, latency, usage, endurance, and environmental data.
Database Monitoring
Observe query latency, I/O performance, cache efficiency, connection counts, memory usage, and error rates to optimize responsiveness.
Sustainability Insights
Track electricity usage and CO₂ emissions across your IT infrastructure. Optimize data center temperature to cut energy costs and reduce your environmental footprint.
Extensible Monitoring
Collect custom metrics through standard protocols (SNMP, SSH, WBEM, WMI, and more) to easily extend coverage to your specific cases.
AI Enabler
Connect any LLM to real-time infrastructure metrics through the MetricsHub MCP Server to assist administrators in problem resolution.
How MetricsHub Works
MetricsHub collects detailed health and performance metrics across your infrastructure, covering servers, storage systems, databases, and network devices, and pushes them to BMC Helix through the BMC Helix Exporter.
