To add a file sink to send output to the specified .csv file:
VPlexcli:/monitoring/directors/director-1-1-A/monitors> monitor add-file-sink --monitor
director-1-1-A_stats --file /var/log/VPlex/cli/director_1_1_A.csv
Navigate to the monitor sinks context and use the ll sink-name command to display the sink:
VPlexcli:/> cd monitoring/directors/director-1-1-A/monitors/director-1-1-A_stats/sinks
VPlexcli:/monitoring/directors/Director-1-1-A/monitors/director-1-1-A_stats/sinks> ll

Create an SNMP monitor
SNMP sinks can be added only to monitors configured to collect fe-lu or disk statistics.
All the statistics in the fe-lu statistics category must be included in the monitor.
In the following example:
● The monitor stat-list fe-lu command displays all the statistics in the fe-lu category
● The monitor create command creates a monitor to collect all fe-lu statistics
● The cd command changes the context to the new monitor
● The add-snmp-sink command adds an SNMP sink to the monitor
VPlexcli:/monitoring/directors/director-1-1-B/monitors> monitor stat-list fe-lu
Name Target Type Units
