In our house, I dropped MRTG last year, and I'm using
Cacti instead (http://www.cacti.net) It
works the same as MRTG under the wire, but is much easier to configure and
manage.
Let me guess, your network stats aren't correct on your
GigE interfaces? Last time I looked, NetApp insists that SNMP v2c and v3
aren't mature enough for them to bother with. SNMP v1 only supports 32 bit
variables, which overflow at about 115 Mbps. To get around that, NetApp
provides high and low order 32 bit values for the network counters. You
get to do the math yourself. Personally, I've found it much easier to just
graph the switch port, which does support v2c. I've not seen any problems
with the FE interfaces.

People,
I've used the filer-mrtg scripts
from Now in the past, but I'd prefer to go down the SNMP route, as I suspect the
network stats are not working well on the later releases of ONTAP ... Has anyone
got some mrtg config files they can share with me?
I've tried using the search archive
facility on the mathworks site but It's not much use as it does not sort in date
order and you cannot see the whole of the subject!
Any advice
welcome...
Cheers
