Can someone tell me the procedure to monitor Netapp storage device from Dynatrace Saas?

[jyoti_29itstu]

I have a new requirement to monitor Netapp storage device because it is important component of client architecture. I did not see any direct monitoring method for this. Can we achieve this with API or Plugins. If yes, then kindly provide some procedure information.

I don’t know netapp technology but according to google they are providing hardware and software as well. If software has some interface that can pull metrics into dynatrace, you can create custom network device and send them there.

If there is any fetch option from this software, you should be able to create Activegate plugin which will do this operation for you in some time intervals. We are making such integration for our clients, it is not hard actually. Basic knowledge about python should be enough to proceed 🙂
