This is the only one I found on the Nagios Exchange, too. If you think this plugin would suit your needs, you can install it in XI by following this document:

As an alternative, you can develop your own custom plugin if you had a developer, who could do it. In this case, you would want to follow this document:

You can also contact our sales department at [email protected] and request a quote for a custom development.

I tried using that plugin on our DataDomain (5.2...something) and it didn't work.
If I remember correctly, it used SNMP and the OIDs didn't match our system.
I did an snmpwalk on ours and didn't see that much usable data, so we setup
access to the CLI using SSH keys and I'm writing scripts to pars the CLI
output for things like alerts, cpu util, nfs stats, etc...
I put in a request to have an API added to DD, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

You never know, monitoring is a "big deal" in many markets. But for now, using custom scripts through check_by_ssh is a fine solution (and possibly the only one at the moment).
