Ok from various documentation we could possibly setup SNMP trap to the NAGIOS device but this seem limited
We can also do the same thing with the stordaemon evnt aspects of Symcli
However I was wondering if the possibility exists to use the REST API for Unisphere to achieve integration with NAGIOS so as to allow NAGIOS to query the arrays directly
there are a number of document sources

https://community.emc.com/people/PaulCork/blog/2016/08/12/time-for-a-rest
There ere also document directly available from the VMAX rest API
I am however not got any knowledge of NAGIOS and am not a programmer, is it possible to use the above with NAGIOS could this be a way to query the VMAX directly

Hi Michael,
In terms of integration with NAGIOS on the Vmax side I’m not aware of any but the great thing about RESTAPI is that if a customer wishes to build out their own integration methods through the robust API’s we offer in REST. We have spoken to a a lot of customers who are just leveraging the api calls to build their own basic tools. In essence we have provided the building block and its up to customers how they wish to assemble.
This is a blog showing all the resources available and Paul has done some great work giving a lot of practical examples.
