Hello All, NetApp is planning to enhance the SNMP support in the filer in an upcoming release of the OS. Due to some risk factors, I'd rather not promise that it will be the next major release (next year), but that is the current plan.

Things we definitely plan to do when this support is added: (a) GETs for general CIFS-related filer parameters. (b) GETs for statistics on all SMB requests, both cumulative and per client. (c) Generic TRAP support, with settings and parameters for each available trap manageable through Filerview.

I would welcome feedback on: (a) Additional GETs you think are necessary. (b) Trap support considerations. (b) Specific traps you think should be implemented. (d) Other things pertaining to SNMP that would be helpful.

My main advice would be to make sure anything obtainable through SNMP is also obtainable from the command line and from the remote GUI; i.e. if you're going to have per-client stats for CIFS in SNMP then it should be available via a "cifs stats" command or similar as well.
