Description
Creates a console sink for the specified performance monitor. Console sinks send output to the management server console.
Every monitor must have at least one sink, and may have multiple sinks. A monitor does not begin operation (polling and
collecting performance data) until a sink is added to the monitor.
Use the monitor add-console-sink command to add a console sink to an existing monitor.
CAUTION:
Console monitors display the specified statistics on Unisphere for metro node, interrupting any other
input/output to/from the console.
Example
Add a console sink with output formatted as table (the default output format for console sinks):
VPlexcli:/> monitor add-console-sink --monitor Director-2-1-B_TestMonitor
Navigate to the monitor context and use the ll console command to display the sink settings:
VPlexcli:> /cd /monitoring/directors/Director-2-1-B/monitors/Director-2-1-B_TestMonitor/
sinks
VPlexcli:/monitoring/directors/Director-2-1-B/monitors/Director-2-1-B_TestMonitor/sinks>
