PRTG Manual: NetApp LIF v2 Sensor
The NetApp LIF v2 sensor monitors a logical interface (LIF) of a NetApp storage system via the Representational State Transfer (REST) application programming interface (API) using ONTAP as of version 9.10.
This sensor was converted to a new framework so that it will continue to function after the changes of the ONTAP REST API.
For a detailed list and descriptions of the channels that this sensor can show, see section Channel List.

Consider the following remarks and requirements for this sensor:
Remark |
Description |
---|---|
Credentials for NetApp |
This sensor requires an ONTAP System Manager user account with the role readonly and with access to the HTTP application with Password authentication. |
Permissions for the ONTAP REST API |
This sensor requires permissions for the ONTAP REST API. This sensor requires the role readonly with the following permissions for the ONTAP REST API: Access level Read-Only:
Access level Read/Write:
Access level None:
|
NetApp versions |
This sensor requires ONTAP as of version 9.10. If you want to use NetApp cDOT as of version 8.3 or ONTAP from version 9.0 to version 9.9, use the NetApp LIF sensor. |
Credentials |
This sensor requires credentials for NetApp. |
IPv6 |
This sensor supports IPv6. |
Performance impact |
This sensor has a very low performance impact. |
Lookups |
This sensor uses lookups to determine the status values of one or more channels. |
Scanning interval |
|
Multi-platform probe |
You can add this sensor to a multi-platform probe. |
The sensor has the following default tags that are automatically predefined in the sensor's settings when you add the sensor:
- lif
- netapp
- ontap
- rest
For more information about basic sensor settings, see section Sensor Settings.
Setting |
Description |
---|---|
Name |
The name of the LIF that this sensor monitors. |
Home Node Name |
The home node name of the LIF that this sensor monitors. |
Scope |
The scope of the LIF that this sensor monitors. |

Primary Channel |
Select a channel from the list to define it as the primary channel. In the device tree, PRTG displays the last value of the primary channel below the sensor's name. The available options depend on what channels are available for this sensor. You can set a different primary channel later by clicking below a channel gauge on the sensor's Overview tab. |
Graph Type |
Define how this sensor shows different channels:
|
Stack Unit |
This setting is only visible if you select Stack channels on top of each other above. Select a unit from the list. PRTG stacks all channels with this unit on top of each other. By default, you cannot exclude single channels from stacking if they use the selected unit. However, there is an advanced procedure to do so. |
Setting |
Description |
---|---|
Result Handling |
Define what PRTG does with the sensor result:
This option is not available when the sensor runs on the hosted probe of a PRTG Hosted Monitor instance. In a cluster, PRTG stores the result in the PRTG data directory of the master node. |
By default, all of these settings are inherited from objects that are higher in the hierarchy. We recommend that you change them centrally in the root group settings if necessary. To change a setting for this object only, click under the corresponding setting name to disable the inheritance and to display its options.
For more information, see section Inheritance of Settings.
Which channels the sensor actually shows might depend on the target device, the available components, and the sensor setup.
