PRTG Manual: SNMP NetApp I/O Sensor
The SNMP NetApp I/O sensor monitors the input/output operations per second (IOPS) on a NetApp storage system via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

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 very low performance impact. |
NetApp I/O |
If you use NetApp cDOT 8.3 or NetApp ONTAP as of version 9.0, we recommend that you use the NetApp I/O sensor. |
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
- snmpnetappiosensor
For more information about basic sensor settings, see section Sensor Settings.

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.
|
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. |
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.
Channel |
Description |
|---|---|
CIFS Ops |
The number of CIFS operations |
Disk Read |
The disk read speed |
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. |
Disk Write |

The number of iSCSI operations |
ISCSI Read |
The iSCSI read speed |
ISCSI Write |
The iSCSI read speed |
Network Received |
The number of bytes received |
Network Sent |
The number of bytes sent |
NFS Ops |
The number of NFS operations |
