MessageI 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

What are people monitoring on their NetApps with mrtg? Just curios cause I only use MRTG to graph the network traffic. I did think about using it for CPU/disk space but I currently use Nagios for that.

I am sure others on this list will have good uses for MRTG on their NetApps....anyone care to share?

Thanks,

Jason T.

Is there a benefit installing this version of MRTG package instead of using the newer standard mrtg and add your own configs to it?

We have the standard build of MRTG (being used to monitor other network related stuff too) to which we added NetApp configs to pull data.

What extra info (that's not available with snmp) does this application provide?

I think this package is now outdated.

Comments?

Has anyone successfully installed the filer-mrtg application (downloaded off now.netapp.com) on Red Hat 7.3 or Red Hat 9. It looks like I am having some problems with either\both perl and mrtg parsing data collected in the mrtg-filer-stats.sh shell script. See below.
