Hi salhorgnem,
Thank you for your post.
PRTG provides some native Dell Sensors (e.g. SNMP Dell PowerEdge System Health Sensor). However, we don't have a native Sensor to monitor the "Dell vxrail manager". If you want to monitor this application, I recommend using the "REST Custom Sensor". The REST Custom sensor queries a REST Application Programming Interface (API) endpoint and maps the JSON or XML result to Sensor values.
For more detailed information, please follow these links:
Have a nice day!

Hello, any plan to introdice a "VSAN" sensor?
According to Gartner "Hyperconverged software" quadrant published on December 2020, Vmware/VSAN is in the second place leader and very close to Nutanix.
