Is it possible to view the historical ONTAP volumes growth from NetApp Console?
Applies to
- NetApp Console
- Monitoring
- ONTAP volumes
Answer
No, NetApp Console (formerly known as BlueXP Console) does not include a built-in feature to display historical space utilization or growth trends for ONTAP volumes.
Additional Information
Use Active IQ Unified Manager (AIQUM) or NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights (DII, formerly Cloud Insights) to view volume growth over time.
-
Active IQ Unified Manager (AIQUM):
- Provides a per-volume historical growth graph.
- To view: Navigate to the specific volume’s Details page in AIQUM to see a time-series graph of its size over time.
- Limitation: Each volume must be checked individually; AIQUM does not display multiple volumes’ growth on a single consolidated graph.
- Reference: NetApp KB - Is it possible to view the historical space utilization growth and trends for all volumes on a single page using Active IQ Unified Manager?
-
NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights (DII):
- Offers multi-volume trend graphs and scheduled reports.
- Provides richer visualization and multi-volume monitoring capabilities, including configurable graphing and alerting options.
