Create custom SNMP monitor using the FREENAS-MIB::zfsL2ArcHits OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any FreeNAS/TrueNAS ZFS storage appliance/server from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a FreeNAS/TrueNAS ZFS storage appliance/server as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type zfsL2ArcHits into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of ZFS L2ARC cache hits. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
