Check NetApp-REST v2.1.0 and Check E-Series v1.3.0 released

Check NetApp-REST v2.1.0

We have released the version 2.1.0 of our Check NetApp-REST product – a collection of modern go-coded Nagios-compatible monitoring checks based on NetApp’s RESTful API.

• New parameter --authorization: Allows to authenticate with tokens (keys) instead of username and password.

• check_netapp_spare disk has received the new parameter --ignore-specs=size|rpm|type|class. This allows you to relax the criteria by which a spare disk is counted as such.

• The number of instances skipped by --include / --exclude is now printed to the extended message.

• New check of volumes for their age.

• New check for counting snapshot copies (e.g. after filtering by age).
  WARNING: The former command check_netapp_snapshot volume has been renamed to check_netapp_snapshot volume size. Please adjust your command configurations to reflect this change.

In addition to these improvements, several bug fixes have been made. A complete list can be found in the release history .

Ontap Compatibility

This will be the last version that is fully compatible with Ontap 9.8. The next version will require Ontap 9.10 (at least for the shelf check). Customers who want to check 9.8 filers can of course continue to use the checks from the 2.1.0 version.

The reason for this is that older Ontap versions are very limited in terms of the data they provide via the RESTful API, so we were forced to use the private API, which again is not stable.

Check-ESeries v1.3.0

• New parameter --authorization: Allows to authenticate with tokens (keys) instead of username and password.
  WARNING: If you have used the option-alias username instead of user in the authfile, please change it to user now. The same goes for password, which should be changed to pass.

• The number of instances skipped by --include / --exclude is now printed to the extended message.

In addition to these improvements, several bug fixes have been made. A complete list can be found in the release history .
