I thought Monosphere was more of a trending and analysis tool? Not
file level reporting. We are slated to eval them for a different
purpose but I'll keep them in mind for this as well.
Fair scale would be 100's of TB.

If the number of files is around tens of millions, then this
Fileyzer tool seems to do what you mentioned:

(Trial download)

It's purely for analysis; no data placement. It's light and
fast. The GUI is neat, too.

I downloaded it and two things I notice make it less than helpful.

1) the trial version won't analyze network drives (That's where the
problems are !!!)

2) it seems to only analyze the C drive on my windows box and
disregards any selection criteria I give it. It's the same view no
matter what my criteria are.

I may talk to NeoPath and get a full fledged eval because the concept
is interesting. But this download, thoughI appreciate the effort and
thought, proved to be useless.

Faeandar, just out of curiosity, how does the kazeon to crawl the
filer... does it do it via NFS or via NetApp's FPolicy API? And how
much data is on your filer that it took so many days to analyze (how
many TB and how many files?)
