NetApp’s ZAPI interface (now called ONTAPI) will reach end of availability (EOA) in January 2023. Therefore the checks from Check NetApp-ZAPI won’t be of much use in the near future. Fortunately all customers for Check NetAppPRO can use the future-proof Check NetApp-REST with the same license and therefore …
Over the years, this blog has accumulated almost 300 articles. Unfortunately, the built-in JS-based search is overwhelmed by this. We have therefore switched the search bar at the top to an external search engine called MetaGer.

I can recommend the unstable release 3.10.1_10 to all experimenting monitoring admins. Above all, this has the character of a technology preview. Included are two major innovations:
The update mode for all getters The option to output Grafana compatible performance data even for status checks. Update Mode The update …
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, …
3.4.1_01 FIXES USAGE/SHELF-ENVIRONMENT, DISKCOUNT, WORKLOAD, LUNSIZE Released 2016-03-18
Fixed Usage-Check: Handling of volumes with no state-attribute shelf-environment-object in cm-getter needs a node-name (sometimes) New and improved new DiskCount check (counts spare-disks per type or storage-pool) new …
Our new DiskCount check counts available disks on a system. This can be quite handy when setting a filter, e.g. only counting SSD drives in the spare container. This way, one can use thresholds to send warning messages as soon as the number of spare SSD disks falls below a certain threshold. In contrast to the …
Our Disk check is going to have a new feature. Using the switch ‑‑what=non-zeroed-spare an alarm is sent as soon as non-zeroed spare disks have been found. Depending on wether the zeroing process is currently running or not, a WARNING (including progress) will be sent or else CRITICAL.
Today we announce a new check NetInterface which monitors the Is-Home flag of a network interface and sends an alarm if current-port differs from home-port. This enables us to monitor the output of the following CLI command in a continuous and automated way:
clu1::> network interface show -is-home false Logical …
In cmode DataONTAp 8.2.1, the object ifnet, used for monitoring the network performance will no longer be available. It will be replaced by the new performance object lif.
Since there have been quite a few changes with the counters, the next release will include an additional check: PerfLif .
This check works as …
All in all, we are offering three different checks to monitor network interfaces from a NetApp Filer in the next release. All three of them support 7-mode as well as cluster mode filers:
NetPort or NetPort7m checks if the network interfaces are activated or not. IfGrp checks if an interface group has enough links in …
