PRTG Manual: NetApp System Health v2 Sensor
The NetApp System Health v2 sensor monitors the health of a node of a NetApp storage cluster via the Representational State Transfer (REST) application programming interface (API) using ONTAP as of version 9.6.
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.

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. |
Limits |
This sensor has predefined limits for several metrics. |
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:
- netapp
- ontap
- rest

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. |

Result Handling |
Define what PRTG does with the sensor result:
|
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.
