With that said, there's gotta be somebody that's taken the netapp mib and hooked it up with MRTG or something to snarf out some of that great sysstat data and NFS ops data.
Jaye, Already on the NetApp NOW web site under the 'Tools' category Great stuff!!
Tom is referring to the "filer-mrtg" package which you'll find in the "Toolshed" list of the "Tools & Utilities". The package contains both MRTG and a Makefile-driven configuration process that will construct the MRTG files needed to monitor your Netapp Filers. It works on Solaris and Linux. A similar arrangement for Netcache can be found in the "netcache-mrtg" package. (If you are using Netcache 3.4, please contact us for a newer version of netcache-mrtg.)
You could use the things in the filer-mrtg package and try to merge them with your existing MRTG setup, but my recommendation would be to run the filer-mrtg stuff separate from your existing MRTG setup. This will avoid hassles with compatibility of MRTG versions, and make it much simpler to set up.

Ah. Brian Hackworth from netapp sent me exactly the file I needed, which mapped the interesting parameters to their OID's, in english. :)
Once I had that in my sweaty little palms, I be jammin', and MRTG and friends are logging like little maniacs.
Thanks to everybody for all the tips.
