<%NUMBERING1%>.<%NUMBERING2%>.<%NUMBERING3%> PRTG Manual: NetApp SnapMirror v2 Sensor

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 the role readonly with the following permissions for the ONTAP REST API:

Access level Read-Only:

• /api
• /api/security/audit/destinations

Access level Read/Write:

• /api/security/authentication/password

Access level None:

• /api/security

Sensor Name

Enter a name to identify the sensor. By default, PRTG shows this name in the device tree, as well as in alarms, logs, notifications, reports, maps, libraries, and tickets.

If the name contains angle brackets (<>), PRTG replaces them with braces ({}) for security reasons. For more information, see the Knowledge Base: What security features does PRTG include?

Parent Tags

The tags that the sensor inherits from its parent device, parent group, and parent probe.

This setting is for your information only. You cannot change it.

Tags

Enter one or more tags. Confirm each tag with the Spacebar key, a comma, or the Enter key. You can use tags to group objects and use tag-filtered views later on. Tags are not case-sensitive. Tags are automatically inherited.

It is not possible to enter tags with a leading plus (+) or minus (-) sign, nor tags with parentheses (()) or angle brackets (<>).

For performance reasons, it can take some minutes until you can filter for new tags that you added.

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

• netapp
• ontap
• rest
• snapmirror

Priority

Select a priority for the sensor. This setting determines the position of the sensor in lists. The highest priority is at the top of a list. Choose from the lowest priority () to the highest priority ().

Source Path

The source path of the SnapMirror relationship that this sensor monitors.

Primary Channel

Select a channel from the list to define it as the primary channel. In the device tree, the last value of the primary channel is always displayed 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 different channels are shown for this sensor:

• 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. All channels with this unit are stacked 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:

• Discard result (default): Do not store the sensor result.

• Store result: Store the last sensor result in the \Logs\sensors subfolder of the PRTG data directory on the probe system. The file name is Result of Sensor [ID].log. This setting is for debugging purposes. PRTG overwrites this file with each scanning interval.

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.

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 state

State

The system status

• Up status: Healthy
• Down status: Unhealthy
• Unknown status: Channel Value Not Set

This channel is the primary channel by default.

Lag

The lag transfer duration

Last Transfer Duration

The last transfer duration

Last Transfer Size

The last transfer size

Last Transfer Age

The age of the last transfer

Mirror State

The mirror status

• Up status: Aborting, Checking, In Sync, Quiesced, Quiescing, Snapmirrored
• Warning status: Paused, Synchronizing, Uninitialized
• Down status: Broken Off, Out of Sync

• Unknown status: Channel Value Not Set

Policy Type

The policy type of the relationship

• Up status: Async, Async Mirror, Automated Failover, Mirror and Vault, Strict Sync Mirror, Sync Mirror, Vault

• Unknown status: Channel Value Not Set

Resync Fails

The number of resynchronization fails

This channel has a default limit

• Upper error limit: 0

Transfer Status

The transfer status (relationship status returned from the API)

• Up status: Finalizing, Idle, In Sync, Preparing, Queued, Success, Transferring
• Warning status: Aborted, Hard Aborted
• Down status: Failed

• Unknown status: Channel Value Not Set

Update Fails
