Job is a new check that monitors the list of jobs on a NetApp Filer. Warnings are sent for jobs that correspond to a definable not-ok status (failed, paused, …). This is the first time we are introducing config-sets, which can store any number of command line arguments in a single file. We are providing presets …
In an example (that has now been removed from our help page) we described how the snapshots check could be used with the metric _number_to find volumes that don’t have any snapshots. Unfortunately, this example was misleading and lead to false negatives. For this use case we are preparing a separate check …
LUNState checks if a LUN is online or offline, but not if it is mapped („mapped to any initiators). As of version 3.9.1 a LUN will only be classified as OK if it is online and mapped. In any other case it will be classified as CRITICAL. In addition, we’ve included a switch that reverts the check back to its old …
We are thinking of adding support for 7-Mode filers to SIS check . If you are interested in this feature, send our developers an email or leave a comment below.
Due to a customer request, we would like to show how the switch --perfdata_uom_string can be used in situations where monitoring systems have issues with unit of measurement (UOM) strings (the unit for performance data) and can not be displayed properly.
For example, if the WAFL check returns the CP counter per second …
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, …
Neither the checks nor the CLI command sysconfig -c were able to find failed disks on a Ontap 8.2.4 (7mode) system. aggr status –f reports: „Broken disks (empty)“. The only way to detect them was sysconfig -a, returning a long list, similar to the one below: … 134L84 : NETAPP X414_HV60A15 NA03 560.0GB 520B/sect …
The log file checker for the EMS log has seen a few improvements:
look behind can now be set in minutes, hours or days (e.g. --lookback=2h, evaluates entries from the last 7200 seconds) you can now use the switch --authfile to point to a credentials file so that username and password don’t have to be written in …
It seems that for some versions of the DataONTAP the NetApp shelf status API returns _information _instead of normal. Obviously our plugins then returns a WARNING when it shouldn’t. NetApp classifies this issue as a „minor inconvenience“ (Bug ID 279931 ) and currently there is no estimate for a possible fix. …

We are happy to provide a test release for this check. **V****ersion 3.8.0_02 **will be available today in the [Q-Portal] for beta testers. Please contact …
