The Tools&Utilities section of the NetApp NOW site (http://now.netapp.com) has a couple of new tools for monitoring:

filer-mrtg A package that uses MRTG for monitoring filers. It provides a web-based interface for current and historical views of: network traffic in/out, NFS ops, disk usage (%), CPU usage, CIFS read/write ops, and CIFS other ops.

netcache-mrtg A package that uses MRTG for monitoring NetCache Appliances. It provides a web-based interface for current and historical views of: URLs served, Cache I/O and hit rates, network bandwidth, URL fetch time, cpu and disk space usage, and DNS calls.

If you haven't checked out the Tools&Utilities section of NOW lately, it has been enhanced with a number of new tools, and a "Tool Time" effort in which customers are encourage to submit tools (and win a fabulous polo shirt!).
