Types of events monitored
You can monitor events that are sent by devices to IBM, that is, Call Home events.
- You might see some events in the element manager of your device that are not displayed in IBM Storage Insights. Those events are not displayed because devices don't send all events to IBM Storage Insights.
- Devices don't send the same events to IBM Storage Insights. For example, SAN Volume Controller devices send Health Checker events, but DS8000® devices don't.
