Our Nagios plugins for NetApp are able to read usage of each CPU separately or of the entire system (calculated average for all processors) and transfers the information to the monitoring system (Nagios, Icinga, op5, …).
The check **PerfCpu **can be usedto monitor separate CPUs:
$ ./check\_netapp\_pro.pl PerfCpu -H sim812cm-n1 -z processor\_busy
NETAPP\_PRO PERFCPU OK - 4 processors checked.
processor0 (cluster1-01:kernel:processor0): 3.2% processor\_busy
processor1 (cluster1-01:kernel:processor1): 2.9% processor\_busy
processor0 (cluster1-02:kernel:processor0): 1.7% processor\_busy
processor1 (cluster1-02:kernel:processor1): 1.2% processor\_busy
| processor0=3%;80;95;0;100 processor1=3%;80;95;0;100 processor0=2%;80;95;0;100 processor1=1%;80;95;0;100
The check PerSys with the counter ** avg_processor_busy** can be used to monitor the average CPU-usage and record the values for future trend analysis:
$ ./check\_netapp\_pro.pl PerfSys -H sim812cm-n1 -z avg\_processor\_busy
NETAPP\_PRO PERFSYS OK - 2 systems checked.
system (cluster1-01:kernel:system): 2.2% avg\_processor\_busy
system (cluster1-02:kernel:system): 1.3% avg\_processor\_busy
| system=2%;80;90;0;100 system=1%;80;90;0;100

What happens if the Counter is not available?
For NetApp systems that don’t support the counter avg_processor_busy, it is possible to set the switch --avg in version 2.x of check_netapp. In this case, the average of all CPUs will be used.
Help description for this switch:
Switch to average comparison instead of per instance-comparison. Setting this switch will compare the thresholds against the arithmetic average of all CPUs but still record the perfdata for each of the CPUs independently.
