description:
 Monitors each host port of a Dell PowerVault ME5 system in a single service:
 port health, link status, type and negotiated speed, together with the port's
 I/O statistics (throughput, IOPS, average/read/write response time, queue
 depth, and total data read and written since the last counter reset).

 State is taken from the port health value reported by the array. A link status
 other than Up is Critical by default; for ports that are intentionally uncabled,
 add a rule scoped to those ports and set the link status state to OK.
 Throughput and IOPS are graphed for trending, and optional upper levels on
 throughput, IOPS, response time and queue depth are available. All conditions
 are configurable via the "Dell PowerVault ME5 host port" ruleset.

item:
 The port id (for example {"A0"}).

discovery:
 One service is created per host port.
