Hi Everyone,
I'm not exactly sure what I'm asking for, but here goes . . .
Does Netapp, or someone else, have analytics software that will crawl through CIFS shares and provide info on the files? Things like director sizes, storage hogs, size/number of file types, file/size per owner, etc. In other words, software to help understand and manage files in a shares.
I didn't see anything on NetApp's web site like this.
Thanks
Rick

It’s not enterprise grade, but as a starting point you should try WindirStat if you have not. Its licensed under GPLv2 so what do you have to lose. I would be interesting in comments and suggestions as well since it is always a challenge to keep monster cifs shares with lots of uses accessing them from growing out of control and staying organized.

May want to check out NTP Software and Varonis. NTP is better around policies, and reporting is good; Varonis I used it for NTFS/Perms..

I'd definitely recommend NTP if you're looking for a vendor supported solution. It is a great product and made with NetApp in mind.

When I've had to deal with this one, I've ended up knocking together my own with perl and File::Find.
It's pretty straight forward to traverse and summarise based on ... whatever metadata you desire. (And thanks to multithreading/forking, works quite nicely for scaling up as well).

There's a Unix tool call 'duc' which might do what you want in a way. It finds and graphs the largest directories in a filesystem so you can look into them. It could be expanded into more of what you want.
File/size per-owner is tougher. I usually use qtrees with no limits, just so I can generate per-user reports on a per-qtree basis. Let me know if you want my perl script for doing this against 7-mode filers.
But going down and doing this per-directory is tougher, you end up having to keep a pretty big DB hodling all the per-directory and per-file info. If you have millions of files... it's probably not worth the bother.

NTP is definitely an enterprise product. I have used this and it is even efficient to detect the type of file by looking at it in more details than just the file name extension. If there is a .mp3 stored as a .txt file, the software can detect that. It is also good around policies.

I’ve used as well. I think a limiting factor is you have to have rights to the files/folders; if you have a deep/large file system, could take days to run to crawl the file system. Yes, much cheaper then a varonis/ntp, but has some limits. You get what you pay for.
