Overview

Monitor NetApp ONTAP storage directly inside Grafana

Native ONTAP REST API

Cluster, Volume, LUN, Disk & network

Basic Auth + optional CA verification

On-premises & cloud

The NetApp ONTAP plugin is a backend data source plugin that enables on-demand querying and visualization of storage metrics and operational data from NetApp ONTAP systems, using the native ONTAP REST API. Storage administrators and DevOps teams get a high-fidelity view of their ONTAP environment without leaving the dashboards they already use for the rest of their stack.

NetApp ONTAP is an enterprise-grade storage operating system that provides unified data management across SAN, NAS, and cloud environments. Storage is the backbone of the enterprise, and when it hits a bottleneck, the impact ripples through every application in the stack. The plugin brings cluster, volume, LUN, disk, and network telemetry into Grafana so teams can pinpoint congestion, track utilization trends to prevent capacity crises, and get consistent visibility whether ONTAP runs on-premises or in the cloud, all from a single pane of glass.

Coverage

What You Can Monitor

The plugin exposes six ONTAP resource types through the ONTAP REST API, selectable by resource type, metric type, and identifier in the query editor.

01 — Cluster & Disk

Cluster & Storage

A high-level view of cluster performance through throughput, IOPS, and latency metrics, plus disk-level insights including disk inventory, status, and performance, to understand the health of the underlying storage.

02 — Volume & LUN

Volumes & LUNs

Storage volumes with volume inventory alongside throughput, IOPS, and latency, and LUN details with the same performance metrics, for visibility into how block and file storage are serving applications.

03 — Network

Network Components

Network interfaces with interface details and throughput, and physical Ethernet ports with port details and throughput, so teams can connect storage performance to the network paths that carry it.

Set up and query, right inside Grafana

Configure the data source with your ONTAP credentials, then build resource-level queries in a guided editor. The plugin also ships with six pre-built dashboards — each with a datasource variable and a default one-hour auto-refreshing range — so teams get value without building panels from scratch.

Data Source Configuration

ONTAP cluster URL, username and password, and an optional CA certificate, then Save & test.

Query Editor

Pick a resource type, metric type, identifier, and interval to build resource-level queries.

Differentiators

Why Crest Data's NetApp ONTAP Plugin?

Native & Agentless

Talks directly to the ONTAP REST API with Basic Auth and an optional CA certificate. No agents, no exporters, no extra collection layer to deploy or maintain.

Six Resource Types

Query Cluster, Volume, LUN, Disk, Ethernet Port, and Network Interface resources for storage, capacity, and network visibility across the whole ONTAP environment.

Performance & Health Metrics

Surface throughput, IOPS, and latency for real-time monitoring and analysis of storage performance and health.

Flexible Query Editor

Pick the resource type, metric type, and identifier for targeted insights, with interval-based querying that aligns to ONTAP REST API constraints.

Resilient by Design

Built-in retry with exponential backoff for transient failures (429, 5xx, and connection errors), with optimized API interaction for efficient data retrieval.
