Data Collection Setup

Metrics are collected via REST API running the FlashArray's Purity OS.

Network Requirements

Port: 443 (TCP) Default

Least Privileged User

The credentials used for BindPlane can be the "pureuser" account,

If least-privileged user (LPU) is a priority, a Pure Storage Directory Services user assigned a read-only role.

Assigning Pure Storage FlashArray User Privileges

To create a least-privileged user (LPU) for BindPlane, you must assign a Pure Storage Directory Services user the read-only role within the Pure Management Console.

Directory Services for your Pure Storage FlashArray must be configured and enabled.

  1. From the Pure Management console, navigate to System -> Configuration -> Directory Services, then click the Edit button.
631

2.Ensure that the Group Base and Read Only Group fields are filled out as follows:

  • Group Base: Enter the Organizational Unit (OU) path to the groups configured in Active Directory (case-sensitive, no quotations).
  • Read Only Group: Enter the user group with read-only privileges on the FlashArray.
  1. Click Save.
