For integrating ECS monitoring data into a custom dashboard, which method is most suitable?

Using the ECS CLI to generate reports

Using the ECS REST API to retrieve metrics

Using SNMP traps to send data to the dashboard

Using the ECS Portal to manually export data

A large enterprise runs a Dell ECS cluster with multiple tenants. The operations team wants to monitor performance and set alerts, but they have limited monitoring staff. They need to prioritize alerts to avoid alert fatigue. Which approach best balances proactive monitoring with limited staff?

Use only the Management UI and have staff review metrics weekly.

Deploy a full-time monitoring team to watch the dashboards 24/7.

Configure SNMP traps for critical events only, such as node down and capacity exceeded, and use the Management UI for routine checks.

Set up alerts for every possible metric to ensure nothing is missed.

An administrator is troubleshooting a performance issue on a Dell ECS cluster. The metrics show high IOPS but low throughput. What does this indicate?

The storage nodes are CPU-bound.

The cluster is experiencing a network bottleneck.

The cluster is running out of storage capacity.

The workload is dominated by small I/O operations.

An administrator reviews ECS performance metrics and sees that the cluster's throughput is consistently high, but latency is also increasing. The workload is primarily large file writes. What is the most likely cause?

The storage nodes are reaching their write throughput limit.

The workload is becoming more random I/O.

The network is experiencing packet loss.

The cluster is running out of storage capacity.
