Votes:

1

i have searched for 'zfs' within the knowledgebase and see a few requests for Solaris support but my need is for zfs volume support within Linux. we have a large investment in zfs support that will only increase with time. is there anything upcoming to support monitoring those volumes?

Just wondering, what would ZFS support in PRTG allow you to do?

zfs support would take roughly the same form as the rest of the linux disk sensors: pool name, pool status, pool total size, pool size free. anything more than that...such as arc metadata or raw read/write stats or fragmentation...would be nice but not critical for our needs. as it stands now, we have no way of monitoring these volumes within PRTG.

As of now, we don't get much requests for this. However, have you seen this already? It's expanding the OIDs of the host and you should be able to use them with the SNMP Custom Advanced sensor :)
