Netapp Plugin

NetApp provides software called Operations Manager (formally DFM) that is quite expensive. Because of this I chose to write the important parts myself. The Netapp Plugin consists of two parts. A gatherer and a displayer.

Overview:
1) The gatherer (get_netapp_stats-plugin.pl ) is nice because it allows you to see the raw stats
2) The displayer (netapp_stats-plugin.pl ) just parses the data to fit the PDK requirements.
3) The XML is the HQ plugin XML.

Requirements:
1) The filer will need passwordless ssh access for the user "hyperic" already created and working. See NA for details on doing that.

Brittle Parts:
There are some parts that are brittle that one will need to change:
1) location of script
2) the %hosts is a hash of IP to volume so you'll need to change that
3) Under get_aggregate() you must map the aggregate to the volume. DFM doesn't even do that

Usage:
1) Generally I will cron the gather to run every 3 minutes. It will then collect the stats for 30 seconds.
2) I will have the HQ poller run every 5 min.
