OnTap GX Monitoring: Update
I've gotten a little further. I've refined my perl script so that it gets data from various more reliable sources within GX. It's been crazy busy at work but I should have the solution posted this week. 
Read on for some screenshots.
Photos – yea, not storage related, but still cool
I've created a new site where I'm posting my various photos that I've taken. Most are city scenes and the like but for your viewing pleasure:
Cacti – NetApp OnTap GX Monitoring
Here's a sneak peak at what I've been up to. Once I've got everything done I'll post the code and a how-to guide.
New Camera – CANON EOS 50D
Man this camera is cool. I've got to get used to it, this is my first SLR. I was going to buy the 40D and saw that the 50D was right around the corner. I called up my local store today and they had some in stock!! Walking away set back about $2600 i started taking random pictures in the office. Here are a few that i've taken just for fun.
My first Cacti Template – UptimeDevices SH2/Pro Templates
I've made my first attempt at creating a cacti template. Next is to get a little more advanced and actually script information from OnTap GX to try to get some functional performance statistics since as you know there's no SNMP on GX.
