NetApp StorageGRID data collector

09/25/2025 Contributors

The NetApp StorageGRID data collector supports inventory and performance collection from StorageGRID configurations.

To provide consistent metering against DII entitlements across all StorageGRID systems regardless of underlying hardware topology and configuration, Data Infrastructure Insights uses the total available capacity (storagegrid_storage_utilization_total_space_bytes), instead of RAW capacity based on physical disk layout.

For customers using the Capacity-based licensing model, StorageGRID is metered as “Object” storage.

For customers using the legacy (MU) licensing model, StorageGRID is metered as secondary storage, at a rate of 40TiB to 1 MU.
