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 …
PerfDisk will receive two new counters, **read_ops **and write_ops, both of which will be included in version 3.8.0.
UPDATE: We had to remove this testing-release due to a critical bug. It has been replaced by 3.7.1_02 which fixes that bug.
Starting tomorrow, our clients interested in testing new features can download the latest unstable release, version 3.7.1_01, from the [Q-Portal]. Changes include:
New and improved New switch in …
Today we are making our (still unstable) check FCPAdapter available, which can be used to verify the operational status of each FCP adapter. Find more information as well as examples on our help page .
When monitoring volumes with very different sizes using usage it might be desirable to have the option to configure different thresholds independently of the size of the volumes. The easiest way of doing this would be to set different percentages for small, medium and large volumes. Example Lets say… …
New metric changelog-used-percent We’ve added a new metric to the monitoring check Sis : changelog-used-percent. This way storage admins can be warned if the SIS changelog approaches its full capacity. Thresholds percentages are used to evaluate weather to send a warning or not. We’ve added an example to …
With the next release, the c****dot performance getter will ignore temporary volumes. Temporary volumes are created in the background when moving volumes between aggregates, for instance. These volumes can lead to a UNKNOWN or an „out of bounds“ result for the performance checks and UsageTrend because these instances …
PerfVolume will soon receive a new switch in order to calculate and check the average of all volumes (useful for latency for instance) or the the sum of all volumes (for total_ops for instance_)._ check_netapp_pro.pl PerfVolume -H _filer_ -z _counter_ --math=average|total Please refer to the help page of PerfVolume to …
The Input-/Output Operations per Second (IOPS) or Operations per Second (OPS) can be monitored on various levels:
System Operations (total_ops) This is why the counter total_ops in the PerfSys check exists. Unfortunately, this counter is deprecated and will no longer be supported by NetApp in new versions of DataONTAP. …
A first test version of our new check check_netapp_events to monitor **the **ASUP logs is available upon request. Please get in contact with us directly , this check is not yet available for distrubution. The check is _not_part of our **check_netapp_pro **suite and in technical terms is completely independent.
