I had an interesting question posed by a student yesterday - "aside from interfaces being up, and volumes being online, what do you typically monitor?" Some of my initial thoughts were:
- inodes being available - ifstat on multimode vifs to make sure interfaces are being used - io counts on luns/qtrees/vols/ - client side nfsstat or the equivalent for that protocol from the client side
Anyway, I was trying to think of some of the "non-standard" things to monitor, and thought I'd put it out to the list and see what other people are typically doing.
Cheers, Nick
