PRTG Manual: SNMP NetApp Enclosure Sensor

The SNMP NetApp Enclosure sensor monitors the power supply and cooling of an enclosure that is part of a NetApp storage system via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Remarks

Consider the following remarks and requirements for this sensor:

Remark	Description
NetApp versions	This sensor only supports NetApp versions up to 8.2.
IPv6	This sensor supports IPv6.
Performance impact	This sensor has a low performance impact.

Basic Sensor Settings

The sensor has the following default tags that are automatically predefined in the sensor's settings when you add the sensor:

netapp
snmpnetapp
snmpnetappenclosuresensor

For more information about basic sensor settings, see section Sensor Settings.

NetApp Enclosure Settings

Setting	Description
Enclosure	The identifier of the enclosure that this sensor monitors.
Measurement	The type of measurement that this sensor monitors.

NetApp Specific

Setting	Description
N/A Measurement Handling	Define the sensor behavior if the requested NetApp value is not available (N/A values): Set sensor to down status (default): Set the sensor to the Down status if a measurement is not available. We recommend that you use this setting to not miss any hardware errors. Interpret as valid: Handle unavailable measurements as valid sensor results to keep the sensor in the Up status. This might be useful, for example, if a hardware sensor on the NetApp is disabled for some reason but actually there is no hardware error. If the NetApp returns an N/A measurement, the sensor interprets this as 0. We recommend that you use the lookup file prtg.standardlookups.netapp.notavailable.ovl for channels with unavailable measurements if you select this option. This replaces 0 with the message Not Available. Open the settings of the affected channels and select this file in section Lookup. For more information, see section Define Lookups.

N/A Measurement Handling

Define the sensor behavior if the requested NetApp value is not available (N/A values):

Set sensor to down status (default): Set the sensor to the Down status if a measurement is not available.
We recommend that you use this setting to not miss any hardware errors.
Interpret as valid: Handle unavailable measurements as valid sensor results to keep the sensor in the Up status.
This might be useful, for example, if a hardware sensor on the NetApp is disabled for some reason but actually there is no hardware error. If the NetApp returns an N/A measurement, the sensor interprets this as 0.
We recommend that you use the lookup file prtg.standardlookups.netapp.notavailable.ovl for channels with unavailable measurements if you select this option. This replaces 0 with the message Not Available. Open the settings of the affected channels and select this file in section Lookup. For more information, see section Define Lookups.

Sensor Display

Setting	Description
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: Show channels independently (default): Show a graph for each channel. Stack channels on top of each other: Stack channels on top of each other to create a multi-channel graph. This generates a graph that visualizes the different components of your total traffic. You cannot use this option in combination with manual Vertical Axis Scaling (available in the channel settings).
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.

Description

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:

Show channels independently (default): Show a graph for each channel.
Stack channels on top of each other: Stack channels on top of each other to create a multi-channel graph. This generates a graph that visualizes the different components of your total traffic.
You cannot use this option in combination with manual Vertical Axis Scaling (available in the channel settings).

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.

Inherited Settings

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.

Channel List

Which channels the sensor actually shows might depend on the target device, the available components, and the sensor setup.

Channel	Description
Broken Electronic Parts	The number of broken electronic parts
Broken Power Supplies	The number of broken power supplies
Current [#]	The current
Downtime	In the channel table on the Overview tab, this channel never shows any values. PRTG uses this channel in graphs and reports to show the amount of time in which the sensor was in the Down status.
Fan [#]	The fan RPM
Fans Failed	The number of failed fans
Voltage [#]	The voltage
