Monitoring FSx for ONTAP

Logging and monitoring Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP usage and activity is a best practice because it helps you understand the state of the file system. You can use the log data to troubleshoot any issues that affect the system's reliability, operations, and efficiency. This can be especially critical in enterprise environments because issues with the file system can jeopardize outcomes of processing tasks, produce inaccurate results, or break service level agreements. These can result in fines for the HPC workload owner or result in decisions that are made with incorrect data. For monitoring best practices for enterprise environments, see Best practices for monitoring FSx for ONTAP file systems in this guide.
