What are the best practice searches for storage infrastructure monitoring?

[sloshburch]

I'd like to implement some basic searches for storage infrastructure monitoring without getting caught up in the differences between sourcetypes and field names.

Are there any basic searches that provide storage monitoring without me having to deal with the complexities of the sourcetype differences? Something akin to Performance in the Common Information Model, perhaps?
