OnTap

[rnevi...@gmail.com]

I've looked at all the readme files but I can't seem to find how to
use this with Netapp Filers.


Could someone please explain how to do this?

Hi,
I checked the archive now and it seems that the README file is missing
from the ontap directory. Not sure how it happened, but here it is:

Instructions for getting the ontap NetApp collector working:

1. You will need to establish public key authentication between the filers as described here: http://www.simpsonsfans.org/sshDataONTAP.pdf
2. Run the ontap install script located under the plugins/ontap directory
3. Add one line to the file /etc/cron.d/vmktree for each of your filers (replace filer01 with the dns name (or ip address) of your filer):

* * * * * root /usr/bin/ontap-collector filer01 >/dev/null 2>&1

4. Reload cron so that it will apply the new config and start collecting
5. Edit the file /etc/vmktree.conf, find the line starting with vmktree.objects and add "ontap" (without the quotes) to the end of that line

You should now start seeing stats for your filer by accessing the
vmktree web page at http://your.ip.add.ress/vmktree


Known issues:
- Only stats for the first 50 seconds of every minute is counted
- Overview table doesn't get filled with values, so it only shows "cpu"
which will always show as 0 as per now
