Netapp (DFM) Monitoring w/o the DFM cost

[dgorman_hyperic]

Netapp sells a product called DFM, or Data Fabric Manager for alot of money. I've figured out how to get the same stats from the Netapp filers using passwordless ssh, some perl and a quick hq xml plugin.

If anyone is interested in getting aggregate or disk utilization from a filer (OnTap 7.x or higher) I can post further details on how to do it.

Hi Dan,

That sounds pretty cool. I would love to see some info on it.

Be careful, though, anything you say can and will be blogged 😉

Not to mention added to the docs!

Just happened to get to your post from google.
I am interested to know about reporting capabilities of DFM. Like any automated report based upon some criteria like (past one week/month).

I appreciate if you can help me out.

By the way, Dan - a friend of mine runs one of the engineering groups at NetApp. I'd *love* to show him your Hyperic foo :@)

Sounds really cool. I'd love to see what you have. Should be possible to pull everything into one window, maybe web-based?
