At another organisation I used mrtg to monitor my snapshot levels and gauge how snapmirror was running. Combined with the network stats it was pretty damn good.

 

I use DFM here, much easier to use and definitely makes managing large numbers of volumes/qtrees/filesystems easier. But then you gotta buy another license.....

We graph CIFS and NFS server operation rates (using the least significant 32-bits of the SNMP counter) and connected CIFS shares.

What are people monitoring on their NetApps with mrtg?  Just curios cause I only use MRTG to graph the network traffic.  I did think about using it for CPU/disk space but I currently use Nagios for that.

 

I am sure others on this list will have good uses for MRTG on their NetApps....anyone care to share?

 

Thanks,

 

Jason T.

Is there a benefit installing this version of MRTG package instead of using the newer standard mrtg and add your own configs to it?

We have the standard build of MRTG (being used to monitor other network related stuff too) to which we added NetApp configs to pull data.

What extra info (that's not available with snmp) does this application provide?

I think this package is now outdated.

Comments?

Has anyone successfully installed the filer-mrtg application (downloaded off now.netapp.com) on Red Hat 7.3 or Red Hat 9.  It looks like I am having some problems with either\both perl and mrtg parsing data collected in the mrtg-filer-stats.sh shell script.  See below.
