Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo)
x86_64
Manual install of XI -- running since 2019
Version of XI - Installed Version: 5.8.3
I need to be able to monitor "folder sizes" on a server, where the folders are off of a Netapp, and I can only seem to find the exact path through fstab.
I looked in the exchange - but couldn't find anything I could get to work. At a loss, so humor me if anyone gets some time. Thanks.

Hi,
I looked in the exchange - but couldn't find anything I could get to work. At a loss, so humor me if anyone gets some time. Thanks.
There are few plugins out there on the Nagios Exchange. Which one did you try and what error message were you getting (please post the output to the thread).
Let us know. Thanks!

Each of the references I've found requires write access to the NetApp device. I do not have that. I do have an account that has read-only access, but that's it.

How are you currently monitoring the server (not the netapp)? (NCPA/NRPE/SSH/SNMP/etc)
Does it show up when you run the mount command?
If so, you should be able to use the disk space checks with it:

Monitoring with NCPA, but it doesn't see it as valid when I try the disk space. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Open up this address in your web browser:
- Change X.X.X.X to the IP of your NCPA host
Then type in your token, click API, then select Disk from the dropdown. Does it show it listed on the right hand side?
What OS/version is the remote server running?
Does it show up in the mount command output?

I login to the gui of the device, first of all, very cool... select API, then disk, the mounts do not show up on the right side... for G&G I clicked on "mount" - and I don't see any of the NetApp mount points. When I run "mount" on the remote server itself, I see all of the folders/mounts
OS version for the system that is being monitored is RHEL 6.10

Do you have the line below commented out?
Code: Select all
exclude_fs_types = aufs,autofs,binfmt_misc,cifs,cgroup,configfs,debugfs,devpts,devtmpfs,encryptfs,efivarfs,fuse,fusectl,hugetlbfs,mqueue,nfs,overlayfs,proc,pstore,rpc_pipefs,securityfs,selinuxfs,smb,sysfs,tmpfs,tracefs
It is in the ncpa.cfg file. If it's commented out, uncomment it (as it's shown above), safe, exit and restart the ncpa services, so that changes can take effect.
Did this help?
