Abstract
Monitoring of storage systems, including virtual tape libraries (VTLs), may be performed with automated systems. Automated monitoring may be performed through an SSH connection to a storage manager for the storage system. For example, a method may include initiating, by a monitoring server, an SSH connection to a storage manager; issuing commands, by the monitoring server, through the SSH connection to monitor a storage device coupled to the storage manager; receiving, by the monitoring server, responses to the issued commands through the SSH connection; matching, by the monitoring server, the responses to automation rules; and executing, by the monitoring server, commands based on the matched automation rules.
