Michel/Sto Rage,

Here is what I monitor in Nagios for a F820 (please feel free to comment or suggest more ideas for monitoirng via Nagios/MRTG) (also, your NetApp appliance might be different than mine)

- connectivity - telnet - CPU load $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C YOURCOMMUNITYHERE -o .enterprises.789.1.2.1.3.0 -w 90 -c 95 -u '%'

- temperature $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C YOURCOMMUNITYHERE -o .enterprises.789.1.2.4.1.0 -c 1

- Disk Space $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C YOURCOMMUNITYHERE -o .enterprises.789.1.5.4.1.5.$ARG1$,.enterprises.789.1.5.4.1.6.$ARG1$ -w $ARG2$:,:95 -c $ARG3$:,:97 -u 'kB free (','% used)' -l "Disk space" Where : $ARG1$ is the volume (ie 1 is Volume 0, 3 is Volume 1, 5 is volume 3) (keep in mind the snapshots) $ARG2$ and $ARG3$ are the warning/critical in kbytes

That's about it.

Do you guys happen to have the mib oids for the stuff you are monitoring? =)

I too am using MRTG to collect statistics on Network in/out Traffic, CPU busy/idle, disk read/writes, rejected CIFS/NFS calls, active/spare disk counts, cifs users & sessions, cifs open files & directories, cifs read/write, plus, disk usage per volume. But I found a problem with the disk usage, After I rebooted the filer, the SNMP disk indexes changed and my graphs got messed up. I had to correct the cfg files to put the right MIBs back. Is this a common occurrence? i.e. does the MIBS change when the filer reboots ?I also noticed that the index numbers change for all volumes if you destroy an existing volume. Why so?

Coming to Nagios monitoring, I too would be interested in knowing what others are doing to monitor the filers. Also I would like to get the soft quota threshold notifications be emailed to the user along with their quota report and some standard text message. Is anyone doing that for CIFS users?

thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm using MRTG to monitor network traffic, CPU usage, CIFS/NFS operations and volume usage (max bytes vs used bytes)

Since I also use Nagios, could you tell me how you configured it to monitor your Filers ?

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Michel
