Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent NetApp storage issues.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking the availability, health, and performance of your NetApp devices, as well as storage area networks (SAN), network-attached storage (NAS), and file systems. Show disk space, latency, bandwidth bottlenecks, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot issues with data collection or available storage space.

PRTG comes as a freeware edition for up to 100 sensors. This is ideal for comprehensively monitoring smaller NetApp environments that include only a small number of NetApp storage devices.
If your monitoring needs grow and you need a higher number of sensors, you can always easily upgrade to one of our cost-efficient commercial editions. This makes PRTG the perfect fit for both small and large companies.
NetApp's data management solutions are industry-leading: data is protected and accessible anytime, anywhere. For native NetApp monitoring, you could therefore also use NetApp OnCommand Insight (OCI) data management software to monitor and troubleshoot NetApp systems.
However, this also means that you need to use multiple monitoring tools to keep an eye on network devices from other vendors. This is not the case if you choose PRTG: our all-in-one monitoring tool lets you monitor your entire IT infrastructure including NetApp monitoring.
PRTG immediately alerts you if there is an issue with your NetApp monitoring. You can set individual warning and error thresholds as well as notification triggers that suit your monitoring requirements best.
In case of an alarm, PRTG notifies the responsible administrator or IT team via SMS, email, push notification, or many other channels. This way, you will always have peace of mind knowing that if PRTG doesn’t alert you, everything’s working as intended.
PRTG comes with more than 250 native sensor types for monitoring your entire on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud environment out of the box. Check out some examples below!
The NetApp Aggregate v2 sensor monitors the status of a NetApp storage aggregate using ONTAP. It can show the following:
The NetApp I/O v2 sensor monitors input and output operations of a NetApp storage system using ONTAP. It can show the following:
The NetApp LUN v2 sensor monitors the logical unit number (LUN) of a NetApp storage system using ONTAP. It can show the following:
The NetApp NIC v2 sensor monitors a network interface card (NIC) of a NetApp storage system using ONTAP. It can show the following:
See the PRTG Manual for a list of all available sensor types.
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent NetApp storage issues.

NetApp is a company that is specialized in hybrid cloud data services and data management. NetApp offers both data storage hardware and software solutions.
With Paessler PRTG, you can monitor NetApp storage systems like NetApp cDOT or ONTAP via SNMP, REST, or SOAP.
Paessler PRTG keeps track of the availability, the physical discs, the health, and the input and output operations of a NetApp storage system.
Yes, you can if you use a NetApp ONTAP system. NetApp cloud solutions provide ONTAP in AWS, for example. With our preconfigured NetApp v2 sensors, you can query monitoring data directly from the ONTAP REST API so that it doesn’t matter if the storage itself is hosted in a cloud environment or on premises.
The volume of data has been rapidly increasing for years. The reasons for this are increasingly networked production and more complex infrastructures that produce more and more data. Control over company data is therefore becoming more difficult.
This presents companies with new challenges of how to use and manage their data efficiently. As the number of cyber-attacks is also growing, threats targeting data must be detected and defended against early on.
The visual representation of all data collected from your network therefore also provides answers to pressing IT security questions: Are there any anomalies in the network? Suspicious processes such as network traffic that is much too high can indicate an attack. Network monitoring solutions like PRTG help to uncover anomalies and can thus contribute to IT security.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
Bandwidth, servers, virtual environments, websites, VoIP services – PRTG keeps an eye on your entire network.
