The new VolumeAge check for check_netapp_pro warns about overly old or exceptionally young volumes, where the age is calculated as the difference between the volume creation-time and now.
Thresholds (--warning, --critical) may be set in days (d) or week (w). Various arguments can be used to narrow down the search in more detail, see the online docs . for other options. A particularly useful feature to check for young volumes is to invert the comparison-logic with --comparison=lt (less-than).
A simple example will demonstrate how to check the volume-age of all volumes, not using any --include or --exclude regexes for clarity. This command will warn if a volume is older than 1 year and return critical if older than 2 years.
