Add your NetApp Filer


You can use whatever Poller name you want, with one exception: if you intend to use OCUM too (for Capacity information), the Poller name must match the filer name in OCUM.

  • Poller =if you intend to use OCUM please make sure to use the same Filer or Cluster names that are also visible in your OCUM console - often this is not the FQDN but only the hostname of your NetApp filer head (i. e. filer1)
  • Site = descriptive Site name (i. e. datacenter_1, no whitespace)
  • Host = IP or DNS name of the NetApp Filer (i. e. 192.168.80.200)
  • Host Type = Filer (for NetApp Filer Head), OCUM (for OnCommand Unified Manager Server)
  • User = user name to poll the data from the filer
  • PW = password of the user to poll data from the filer

  

Important: For NetApp, you need to enable TLS on each node: options tls.enable on

Dashboards

 


After adding the NetApp Systems you should find NetApp Dashboards.

We automatically add both, Dashboards for 7Mode and Cluster Mode. You can safely delete the dashboards you don´t want.
