We received a feature request for SnapMirrorMetrics:
Since we often have lagtime false positives because complete transfers are still being finalized on the volume, we would like to have a switch for the SnapMirrorMetrics check: ‑‑finalizing_relation_is_ok
We are currently discussing two possible solutions:
The easy …
Today we are completing our tests for the next stable release 3.8.0, now available in the [Q-Portal]. The most important new features are:
New check: FCPAdapter checks fcp-adapters status (online, …) Usage -check: --check_only=500GiB..1TiB (ranges to specify different thresholds depending on the volumes total size) …
We received the following inquiry about a possible extension for DiskPaths .
One of our clients has a single node Metro Cluster - i.e. a node per page instead of a HA pair. As a result the check is complaining that there are only two instead of 4 available paths. The same problem occurs for a Single Node Cluster (Entry …
We improved our event log check (EMS). Since the check is still a test version, which you can request it directly from the developers (il@netapp-monitoring.info ).

On some occasions, one might not want to collect all counters from the filer. This does not happen very often, but there are at least two cases where it is required or in the very least useful to exclude a specific counter:
If counters are not available in an older version of DataONTAP: our tests for PerfDisk after the …
PerfDisk will receive two new counters, **read_ops **and write_ops, both of which will be included in version 3.8.0.
UPDATE: We had to remove this testing-release due to a critical bug. It has been replaced by 3.7.1_02 which fixes that bug.
Starting tomorrow, our clients interested in testing new features can download the latest unstable release, version 3.7.1_01, from the [Q-Portal]. Changes include:
New and improved New switch in …
Today we are making our (still unstable) check FCPAdapter available, which can be used to verify the operational status of each FCP adapter. Find more information as well as examples on our help page .
When monitoring volumes with very different sizes using usage it might be desirable to have the option to configure different thresholds independently of the size of the volumes. The easiest way of doing this would be to set different percentages for small, medium and large volumes. Example Lets say… …
New metric changelog-used-percent We’ve added a new metric to the monitoring check Sis : changelog-used-percent. This way storage admins can be warned if the SIS changelog approaches its full capacity. Thresholds percentages are used to evaluate weather to send a warning or not. We’ve added an example to …
