Dell PowerProtect Data Manager

Hello,

We are in the process of deploying Dell PowerProtect Data Manager (PPDM) to our company.   This is Dell's data protection platform that is replacing Dell Avamar. 

We'd like an out-of-the-box monitoring module that is REST based that will allow us to monitor the statuses of backup jobs and such.

LM already has an out of the box solution for Avamar monitoring, so I would assume it would be of interest to have modules built out for PPDM as well.

The below URL has information about how to leverage REST APIs to query PPDM metrics.  
https://developer.dell.com/apis/4378/versions/19.18.0/docs/introduction.md

Thanks,

Tom

    I suggest reaching out to support and/or your rep to see if LM is actively working on one or can provide a beta. Sometimes they are looking for beta testers or need the equipment to test on.

      Our LM premier support engineer said that there were no active or pending work for PPDM.  I did submit a feedback request (via our portal) per our engineer's advice.     But i guess there just isn't enough customer demand for PPDM monitoring though our Dell PPDM support rep said that "There are approximately 1200 customers using PPDM, multiple thousands of instances deployed."

      But posting here to see if the wider audience and some LM peeps can pipe in.

      My premier support engineer said to submit feedback request via the portal.  I submitted that way  but thought maybe customers would be in the same boat so I submitted here as well.
