Checkmk NetApp Agent - Option to disable sections

3 votes

I am using the NetApp Agent to monitor a large NetApp cluster.

The problem is that the agent timed out even with an interval and timeout at 15 minutes.
And the cause was the quota-report section.

As a temporary workaround i disabled the parts regarding quota-report in the code and we didnt loose any valuable monitoring for our workcase.
After the workaround the agent takes ca. 40 seconds to report data instead of 15+ minutes.

Would be great if it were possible to disable sections as and agument to the script and via the rules we define for NetApp via WebAPI.

Hi Johan,

Thank you for the message regarding the NetApp issue.

Which version of NetApp you are currently using? Just so you know, we are sunsetting the old NetApp ONTAPI, which has been deprecated for quite some time, and NetApp removed support for this interface entirely in February 2024. (Link: https://community.netapp.com/t5/Digital-Support/ONTAPI-ZAPI-to-ONTAP-REST-API-transformation/ba-p/172014)

We recommend transitioning to the new agent named "NetApp via Ontap REST API," which has been accessible since version 2.2.0p21. This might resolve the issue you're experiencing. If you encounter any issues, please let me know.
