The parameter ‑‑exclude= can be used to exclude specific instances from a check. For instance, a group of volumes (provided they have a naming convention) can be excluded, e.g.: $ ./check_netapp_pro.pl Usage ‑o volume ‑‑exclude=VMWare This snippet excludes all volumes containing ‚VMWare‘ in their name (AB_VMWare_vol1, …
Neither the checks nor the CLI command sysconfig -c were able to find failed disks on a Ontap 8.2.4 (7mode) system. aggr status –f reports: „Broken disks (empty)“. The only way to detect them was sysconfig -a, returning a long list, similar to the one below: … 134L84 : NETAPP X414_HV60A15 NA03 560.0GB 520B/sect …
The log file checker for the EMS log has seen a few improvements:
look behind can now be set in minutes, hours or days (e.g. --lookback=2h, evaluates entries from the last 7200 seconds) you can now use the switch --authfile to point to a credentials file so that username and password don’t have to be written in …
It seems that for some versions of the DataONTAP the NetApp shelf status API returns _information _instead of normal. Obviously our plugins then returns a WARNING when it shouldn’t. NetApp classifies this issue as a „minor inconvenience“ (Bug ID 279931 ) and currently there is no estimate for a possible fix. …

New check: FCPAdapter checks fcp-adapters status (online, …) Usage -check: --check_only=500GiB..1TiB (ranges to specify different thresholds depending on the volumes total size) …
We received the following inquiry about a possible extension for DiskPaths .
One of our clients has a single node Metro Cluster - i.e. a node per page instead of a HA pair. As a result the check is complaining that there are only two instead of 4 available paths. The same problem occurs for a Single Node Cluster (Entry …
We improved our event log check (EMS). Since the check is still a test version, which you can request it directly from the developers (il@netapp-monitoring.info ).
Changes date and time are displayed - in the first version we used UNIX-timestamp („epoch seconds“). source is displayed for each entry the option …
On some occasions, one might not want to collect all counters from the filer. This does not happen very often, but there are at least two cases where it is required or in the very least useful to exclude a specific counter:
If counters are not available in an older version of DataONTAP: our tests for PerfDisk after the …
