PRTG Manual: NetApp NIC 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 9.10, we recommend that you use the NetApp NIC v2 sensor. |
The NetApp NIC sensor monitors the network interface card (NIC) of a NetApp cDOT or ONTAP cluster 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.

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.
