A vendor gave us what is turning out to be a very stable storage appliance/software, so we're happy for that. But even so, disks fail. So we need an automated way to identify, troubleshoot, isolate, and begin ticketing against disk failures. Vendor promised us a nice REST API. That was six months ago. The temporary process of SSHing(as root) to every single appliance(60-200 per site, dozens of sites) to run vendor storage audit commands remains our go-to means of automation.

    This software can connect to and run commands on any number of machines using a single command

    The number of commands is not the problem. It's all done with one command that opens ssh connections in parallel. The problem is the use of ssh at all.

    Yes, that's the current situation. That's the "hack."

    As this is an enterprise in a large company, we have a required monitoring application that has to be used, if any. The company's deployment of it is total shit though. The monitoring team has a process for how any issue would be handled, and it does not and cannot capture all the required pieces of data we need.

    No, what we need is the REST API we were promised.
