Creating your file...
When a storage object in your data center crosses a threshold, you get a notification about that event. Using this notification, you can analyze the issue and take corrective action by using the events
APIs.
This workflow takes the example of a volume as the resource object. You can use the events
APIs to retrieve the list of events related to a volume, analyze the critical issues for that volume, and then take corrective actions to rectify the issue.

Follow these steps to determine the issues in your volume before taking remedial steps.
-
Analyze the critical Active IQ Unified Manager events notifications for the volumes in your data center.
-
Query all the events for the volumes by using the following parameters in the /management-server/events API:
"resource_type": "volume"
"severity": "critical"
Category HTTP verb Path management-server
GET
/management-server/events
-
View the output and analyze the issues in the specific volumes.
-
Perform the necessary actions by using the Unified Manager REST APIs or web UI to resolve the issues.
