This update enables to monitor NetApp Filers running in Cluster-Mode. The new agent_netapp is able to automatically detect whether the filer is running in 7Mode or Cluster-Mode, so you only have to configure the credentials in the datasource rule as usual.

Some of the existing 7Mode checks have been adjusted. Overall there are now less summary checks available (e.g. fan, temperature, psu). You need to do a service discovery on each NetApp filer.

The following table shows the list of available checks and the currently supported NetApp mode.
