There's an error in the README ... If you're using hobbit 4.2 and NetApp with Ontap version 6.5+ just do
this:
I've got it working now, and made a few tweaks so that the nfs ops (the only thing we use) were tracked on their own graph, instead of as a part of a group.  Makes the graph scaling easier on the eyes.  ;)
For snapshot there's not a simple way, you've to edit the source code of
hobbit and some will get wrong. At this moment I'm finishing to work to
module for rrd implementation inside the hobbit_rrd for them and I've
something done but I'm waiting for some nice feature regarding custom
rrd implementation from Henrik so you can have something in the next few
days (snapshot, quotas, qtree, and something more in the next future
like full nfsstatistics and interface/network statistics)...
I was going to just hack up the do_disk.c file and see what I could do, but sounds like waiting is the better option.  filerstats2bb used to put the .snapshots filesystem alongside those in the disk column, which worked out pretty well except for segregating the snapshot alerts to separate users.
Is there an easy way to disable some of the tests, such as quotas and cifs?
Just put in your [default] section or under the [storage] section of
your netapp.ini this one and it will not check those columns (it's valid
for all columns).
bbuserquotacolumn       = quotas:notest
bbcifscolumn            = cifs:notest
Perfect.

If you want data to be reported silently without having a column just to
create a graph in the trend you can also do:
bbopscolumn             = ops:data
bbstatscolumn           = stats:data
Again, very cool. I now have an ops column on my front page, displaying NFS data, and it is a welcome site.  :)

I was going to try and get a way to collect the disk %utilization values for my volumes (those are displayed when you collect data with statit for a period of time).  That would also be a extremely useful data point.
