NetApp Filer: System time offset

Included in All Checkmk editions
Source Code License Open Source
Supported Agents Netapp

This check monitors the system time of the NetApp node. It computes the difference between the time measured on the monitored node and the time of the Checkmk server when the data is processed. The resulting difference is referred to as "time_offset" here (this is also the metrics name).

Returns WARN/CRIT if the absolute system time offset is above the given levels.

By default, the check uses warning level of 30 seconds and critical level of 60 seconds. These levels may be configured with WATO rule group Netapp system time offset.

As the offset includes the systematic time delay between querying the host and querying the reference time, it is never expected to be zero.

Please note: You need the Special Agent "NetApp via ONTAP REST Api" to retrieve the monitoring data from the device. The Special Agent itself can be configured by WATO.
