Introduction

Amazon FSx makes it easy and cost effective to launch, run, and scale feature-rich, high-performance file systems in the cloud. It supports a wide range of workloads with its reliability, security, scalability, and broad set of capabilities. With Amazon FSx, you can choose between four widely used file systems: Lustre, NetApp ONTAP, OpenZFS, and Windows File Server. Amazon File Cache is a high-speed cache on AWS that makes it easier to process file data, regardless of where the data is stored.

Use OpsRamp AWS Public Cloud Integration to discover and collect metrics against FSx File Systems.

Setup

To set up the AWS integration and discover the FSX File Systems resources, do the following:

  1. Create an AWS Integration if not available in your installed integrations.
  2. Select FSX File Systems under Filter by Resource Type to discover AWS AppSync.
  3. Save the discovery profile to make them available in the list of Discovery Profiles.
  4. Scan to discover the resources at any time independent of the predefined schedule.
  5. Once the scan is completed, you can view the FSX File Systems resources under Infrastructure > Resources > AWS category.

Event support

CloudTrail Event support
