PRTG Manual: NetApp I/O Sensor
IMPORTANT INFORMATION |
---|
This sensor supports NetApp cDOT as of version 8.3 or ONTAP from versions 9.0 to 9.12. If you use ONTAP as of version 9.11, we recommend that you use the NetApp I/O v2 sensor. |
The NetApp I/O sensor monitors input and output operations of a NetApp cDOT or ONTAP storage system accessing the application programming interface (API) via the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP).
For a detailed list and descriptions of the channels that this sensor can show, see section Channel List.

The sensor has the following default tags that are automatically predefined in the sensor's settings when you add the sensor:
- cdot
- netapp
- ontap
- soap

NetApp Credentials |
Specify which credentials you want to use to connect to the NetApp API:
|
User Name |
This setting is only visible if you select Use explicit credentials above. Enter a user name for access to the NetApp API. Enter a string. Read-only rights for this ONTAP user account are sufficient. |
Password |
This setting is only visible if you select Use explicit credentials above. Enter the password of the user for access to the NetApp API. Enter a string. |
Port |
Enter a port number on which you can access the NetApp API. Enter an integer. The default port is 443. |
Connection Security |
Define if the connection to the NetApp API is Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) secured:
|
Timeout (Sec.) |
Enter a timeout in seconds for the request. Enter an integer. The maximum timeout value is 900 seconds (15 minutes). If the reply takes longer than this value, the sensor cancels the request and shows a corresponding error message. |

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. |

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:
|
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.
