NetApp Filer monitoring with 8.1

Question

We have been looking forward to leveraging the new features of Orion 8.1 to monitor qtree information on our Filers.  I am in the Custom MIB poller section and struggling as to how to do this.

The following OID:  1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.4.5  Presents a table showing all of our Qtrees, ID's, names, disk space allocated and disk space used.  I need to retrieve disk space allocated and disk space used and do a computation on those to come up with disk space free for alerts - as well as graphing disk space used based on disk space allocated for historical trending.  Much like the pre-configured MRTG that comes from NetApp's website.

I guess my question is - how do I pull multiple variables, perform a computation, and then graph and alert on it using Orion 8.1?

Thanks.

I would suggest posting in the official Orion feature request thread.

I am looking for the same.  Then NetApp Filers seem to have all the data for disk space used, percent used, etc..Why can't SWinds get us that data.  If Orion can't so anything with the table, why not poll the individual elements of the table, and give us the same types of disk space statistics that we get with windows servers.  We really need to trend this information, and set up alarms accordingly.  Who do I need to petition at either or both companies to make this happen?

Is anyone close to getting disk space from a NetApp Filer?

Thanks.

Wow, I wish I could help you but I can't. Orion 8.1 does not currently support SNMP tables, nor can it do any level of mathematical computation other than less than, greater than, or equal to the results of a given OID. Maybe this will be possible in 8.5, but currently this can't be done in 8.1. Sorry.
