Hardware Sentry provides insight into your hardware health, performance metrics, and sustainability indicators of your infrastructure.

What's included?

dashboards
1
Hardware Sentry quickstart contains 1 dashboard. These interactive visualizations let you easily explore your data, understand context, and resolve problems faster.
alerts
6
Hardware Sentry observability quickstart contains 6 alerts. These alerts detect changes in key performance metrics. Integrate these alerts with your favorite tools (like Slack, PagerDuty, etc.) and New Relic will let you know when something needs your attention.
Connector Status
This alert is triggered when a connector becomes degraded.
Host not responding
This alert is triggered when a host is not responding.
Battery Charge
This alert is triggered when a host battery charge falls too low.
Device Status (critical)
This alert is triggered when a device is failing.
Device Status (warning)
This alert is triggered when a device is in a warning state.
Physical disk endurance capacity
This alert is triggered when a disk endurance utilization is very low.
documentation

About Hardware Sentry

Hardware Sentry is Sentry Software's native OpenTelemetry solution which monitors the hardware health of almost any server, storage system, and network switch available on the market and exposes the collected metrics into New Relic. The solution also reports on power consumption, electricity costs and CO₂ emissions of on-prem IT infrastructures.

The solution is free-to-use for New Relic users. Support plans are available.

About this integration

This integration with New Relic & Hardware Sentry connects the native OpenTelemetry collector in Hardware Sentry's agent to New Relic's observability monitoring platform.

Monitoring the health of your on-prem IT infrastructure in New Relic

The monitoring available with this integration gives you full visualization into your on-prem IT infrastructure.

  • Monitor the health of your hardware resources, including processors, memory modules, disks, network cards, and more.
  • Monitor and assess the CO₂ emissions linked to the energy consumption of your data centers.
  • Evaluate the energy efficiency of your various data centers daily, monthly, or yearly based on collected power consumption metrics (no smart PDUs needed).
  • Identify the optimal temperature for your data centers through real metrics and data-driven suggestions. Estimate potential savings by considering a slight increase in temperature.

How to use this quickstart

  • Sign Up for a free New Relic account or Log In to your existing account.
  • Click the install button.
  • Install the quickstart to get started or improve how you monitor your environment. They're filled with pre-built resources like dashboards, instrumentation, and alerts.
