Using SNMP to monitor a network share's utilized space

Subject:

Quantastor does not have SNMP alerts to detect space utilization on network shares, only at the Storage Pool level.

Detail:

One alternative option would be to use the following steps to create a custom monitoring query, please see below:

First: Enable the SNMP Agent

For details on getting this setup, please see our documentation at the following URL:

Once you have SNMP configured and working you can will be able to create custom event monitoring to query the following MIBS:

.iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).osnexus(39324).quantastor(1).sysStats(1).networkShare(53).networkShareTable(1).networkShareEntry(1).networkShare-SpaceUtilized(44)

.iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).osnexus(39324).quantastor(1).sysStats(1).networkShare(53).networkShareTable(1).networkShareEntry(1).networkShare-SpaceQuota(45)

By comparing the .networkShare-SpaceUtilized value and '.netmaskShare-SpaceQuota' values you can identify the amount of space used on the share verses how the quota size and generate a custom alert.
