CSM for Observability is part of the [CSM (Container Storage Modules)](https://github.com/dell/csm) open-source suite of Kubernetes storage enablers for Dell products.
18-
19-
It is an OpenTelemetry agent that collects array-level metrics for Dell storage so they can be scraped into a Prometheus database. With CSM for Observability, you will gain visibility not only on the capacity of the volumes/file shares you manage with Dell CSI (Container Storage Interface) drivers but also their performance in terms of bandwidth, IOPS, and response time.
20-
21-
Thanks to pre-packaged Grafana dashboards, you will be able to go through these metrics history and see the topology between a Kubernetes PV (Persistent Volume) and its translation as a LUN or file share in the backend array. This module also allows Kubernetes admins to collect array level metrics to check the overall capacity and performance directly from the Prometheus/Grafana tools rather than interfacing directly with the storage system itself.

# :lock: **Important Notice**
12+
Starting with the release of **Container Storage Modules v1.16.0**, this repository will no longer be maintained as an open source project. Future development will continue under a closed source model. This change reflects our commitment to delivering even greater value to our customers by enabling faster innovation and more deeply integrated features with the Dell storage portfolio.<br>
13+
For existing customers using Dell’s Container Storage Modules, you will continue to receive:
14+
* **Ongoing Support & Community Engagement**<br>
15+
You will continue to receive high-quality support through Dell Support and our community channels. Your experience of engaging with the Dell community remains unchanged.
16+
* **Streamlined Deployment & Updates**<br>
17+
Deployment and update processes will remain consistent, ensuring a smooth and familiar experience.
18+
* **Access to Documentation & Resources**<br>

22+
23+
Moving to a closed source model allows Dell’s development team to accelerate feature delivery and enhance integration across our Enterprise Kubernetes Storage solutions ultimately providing a more seamless and robust experience.<br>
