StorageGRID SNMP and IBM NetCool

** Work in progress **

Overview

StorageGRID Monitoring is covered under these links:

• [11.8] https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/storagegrid-118/monitor/using-snmp-monitoring.html 
• [11.7] https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/storagegrid-117/monitor/using-snmp-monitoring.html

The sections are:

• Overview
• Configure the SNMP agent
• Update the SNMP agent
• Access MIB files

If you StorageGRID Appliances, then there are 3 areas you can configure SNMP:

1) Grid Manager

2) SANtricity (for Storage Nodes)

3) BMC (for Load Balancer and Storage Node Compute controllers)

Grid Manager - Testing SNMP Traps

Alas, there is no "Send Test Trap" button (not in 11.7 anyway.) I came across these 2 kb.netapp.com articles which were interesting:

Does StorageGRID support the use of SNMP test traps? - NetApp Knowledge Base (Answer = No)

How to send a SNMP Trap test using a custom alert in StorageGRID UI - NetApp Knowledge Base

1. Create a new custom alert using the following conditions:

- Unique name/Description: CPU Test

- Major: storagegrid_node_cpu_utilization_percentage > 0

- Duration: 30 seconds

2. SSH into the Primary Admin node and run the following command to confirm SNMP traps are sending successfully:

tail -f /var/local/log/sg-snmp-agent.log

3. Disable the custom alert.
