Stuart,
Thanks for the reply. We are already customers of LM so no trial needed. OOTB we are getting nothing with LM which stinks. It is all going to have to be custom built (unless LM would build something).
Guess i am going to have to find time to look into building it myself. Was hoping maybe someone else reads this and already has a solution in place to share ideas with.
I took at look at SolarWinds Storage monitoring and IBM and Hitachi are both available OOTB, which is nice. I used SolarWinds a long time ago before their big security issue. I thought it was a good product.
