And you're right about OIDs changing, counters in 32 bits, etc.<br /><br />For the moment we use home-made applications, as you can see, so we deal with that manually (reset counters when necessary, ...).<br /><br />I had a look at LogicMonitor, seems to be very nice tools, especially for Netapps. If I need a "pro" solution for Filers monitoring, I'll definitively get in touch with you.<br /><br />Soon I'll post monitoring tips for cluster computing, so it discussing this matter with you could be interesting.<br /><br />Cheers !<br />Bogdan.OCHISOR Bogdanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11116796504270353641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020495033450465956.post-82650067550366797852009-12-01T18:54:09.127+01:002009-12-01T18:54:09.127+01:00Nice work.

(e.g. the oid for failed fans changes in the point release from 7.3.1 to 7.3.2. Don't ask me why.)<br />They dont expose all data to snmp, only API. (e.g. volume latency, or operations per volume).<br />They dont seem to grasp 64 bit counters (so if you have large volumes, you have to convert signed to unsigned integers to accurately track space usage.)<br />And they renumber volume instances frequently, especially if you have snap mirror running.<br />If you dont feel like dealing with all these issues yourself, and just want something you can point at a NetApp and say "Monitor everything automatically, and alert me if something is wrong", check out <a href="http://www.logicmonitor.com/logicmonitor-hosted-monitoring-service/monitoring-netapp-filers/" rel="nofollow">LogicMonitors NetApp Monitoring</a>.<br />Or if you have questions on how to work around the above issues, feel free to email me.<br />CheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
