Netapp volume monitoring

Do you guys have a recommended check for netapp volumes ? We are currently using ( check_netapp_ng.pl ) which works but everything is reported in k and the check doesn't seem to handle the very large volumes well over 2 TB. So when people look at the graphs they are not very un IT friendly. Hopefully we can tweek or replace this check for one that reports GB ?

Are you using NetApp 7-mode or cluster mode? Why aren't you using OCUM? I maintain
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... ap/details , but this plugin is only for cluster mode and does not output perfdata as imo OCUM does that already.
Just login to
http://mysupport.netapp.com/ go to downloads and you should be able to download OnCommand System Manager.
If you are using 7-mode, please ignore me as I have no knowledge about that.

From an official standpoint, no we do not have a preferred netapp plugin at the moment. If Willem is willing to help out, I would highly suggest seeing if his plugin will do what you need. Unfortunately, I don't use netapp myself, so I can't make too much of a statement if there are better ones available or not.

Absolutely, and if you find a solution that works well for you please let us know! Netapp monitoring questions pop up now and then and it would be nice to have some feedback to go back to on the forums for users.

I work with my netapp admin and I think we fixed the issue. We just need to delete the old performance graphs. Were is the file that reflects the performance graphs in my first post. I need that to be started from scratch because the change we made is skewing the historical numbers.

Sure, to remove the old performance graphs, just remove the RRD file associated with that host/service pair, look under:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/<hostname>/<servicename>.rrd
