The new agent_netapp allows you to collect data from a NetApp Filer through its Web-API. Right now only 7-Mode setups are supported, but Cluster-Mode is following soon.
Agent setup
This agent does not run out of the box, because it depends on some files from the Netapp Manageability SDK from NetApp. You can download it here (customer/partner login required) In this package you will find a python API binding. The agent_netapp requires the two python files (NaElement.py / NaServer.py) to be put into the sites local directory ~/local/lib/python. (Our plan is to eleminate this tedious step in a future version)
Once the agent has all required files you need to create a user account with the following permissions:
- perf-object-get-instances
- net-ifconfig-get
- aggr-list-info
- storage-shelf-bay-list-info
- disk-list-info
- vfiler-list-info
- vfiler-get-status
- volume-list-info
- system-get-version
- system-get-info
- storage-shelf-environment-list-info
- cf-status
- diagnosis-status-get
Note: This list might increase in later versions
If the new agent is able to access the Web-API the following new checks are ready to process the data:
| Check | Description |
|---|---|
| netapp_api_aggr | Used space and trend of aggregations |
| netapp_api_volumes | Used space and trend of volumes. Able to record detailed performance data for each protocol |
| netapp_api_cluster | Cluster status |
| netapp_api_cpu | Overall CPU utilization |
| netapp_api_disk | Disk summary check. Includes total raw capacity and info about broken and spare disks |
| netapp_api_if | Interface checks (Fibrechannel not include so far) |
| netapp_api_protocol | Read OPS / Write OPS for each protocol (nfs, nfsv4, cifs, fcp, iscsci) |
| netapp_api_status | Filers Diagnosis Status (overall status) |
| netapp_api_version | Version information |
| netapp_api_vf_stats.traffic | vFiler traffic (Read/Write OPS, Net-Data Send/Recv, Read/Write Bytes) |
| netapp_api_vf_stats.cpu_util | vFiler CPU utilization |
| netapp_api_vf_status | vFiler status |
| netapp_api_psu | Power supplies summary which are relevant to that filer. Reports broken units |
| netapp_api_fan | Fans summary which are relevant to that filer. Reports broken units |
| netapp_api_temp | Temperature sensor summary for internal and ambient sensors relevant to that filer. Reports broken units |
Note: This is the initial version of this agent. It has been tested on a handful of NetApp systems.
