Check NetApp-ZAPI will not be able to monitor next year's ONTAPI releases

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000

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 without additional costs.

ZAPI EOA: Timeline and Recommendations

NetApp announced that ONTAP release in FY22-Q4, will be the final ONTAP version to include ONTAPI (former called ZAPI).

RESTful volume check for NetApps ONTAP filer

Tue, 27 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000

The v1.2.0 release of our Check NetApp-REST product contains a new monitoring plugin called check_netapp_volume usage. It provides the monitoring of:

the used space of each volume (in Bytes)
the total used space of several volumes
the average used space of several volumes
the min/max of used space of several volumes

A typical output would look like:

$ check_netapp_volume usage -H filer -w 30GiB -c 50GiB
NETAPP VOLUME USAGE OK - 5 volumes checked
vserv_b.vol2: 1.254MiB
vserv_b.vol1: 1.23MiB
vserv_a.vol1: 1.184MiB
vserv_b.vol0: 1.27MiB
vserv_a.vol0: 1.238MiB
| 'vserv_a.vol0'=1298432B;32212254720;53687091200;0; 'vserv_b.vol0'=1331200B;32212254720;53687091200;0; 'vserv_a.vol1'=1241088B;32212254720;53687091200;0; 'vserv_b.vol1'=1290240B;32212254720;53687091200;0; 'vserv_b.vol2'=1314816B;32212254720;53687091200;0;

Reporting on groups of volumes

To get the sum of all used-space on all volumes use the aggregated subcommand:

Monitoring Check for E-Series Network Interfaces

Mon, 26 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000

The v1.1.0 release of our Check E-Series product brings also a new monitoring plugin called check_eseries_nic. This provides monitoring of:

the link-status (up/down)
the current-speed (1Gib/s, 10GiB/s, …)
setup-error (true/false)

A typical output would for the link-status check look like:

$ ./check_eseries_nic link-status -H 10.1.1.11 --system-id=1
NETAPP ESERIES NIC CRITICAL - 4 nics checked, 3 CRITICAL
wan1.280107001000000000000: down (CRITICAL), slot 1, label P2
wan0.280007001000000000000: up, slot 0, label P1...

Or for the current-speed subcommand:
