I would like to check the options on my filers for various items, but I'm not sure the best way to do it. Could anyone tell me if I'm missing something?
SNMP and Operations Manager: I don't see that I can pull the data from either of these sources.
SSH and SDK access: I could create an account, but it seems to me that the only restriction available is the ability to run the "options" command. There's no way to grant an account read-only access to the data. I'd rather not give the monitor direct access to modify things.
NFS: The current options appear to be visible as a local file in /etc, but creating NFS access to vol0 for lots of filers for a single file seems more of a hassle to me.
At the moment I'm leaning toward a collector that would poll all the filers via SSH or SDK to run "options" and dump that into static files on a normal export that the monitoring system could examine. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks!
