### Retrieving all monitored files

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import MonitoredFile

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        print(list(MonitoredFile.get_collection()))

### Provisioning a monitored file

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import MonitoredFile

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = MonitoredFile()
        resource.svm.name = "vs0"
        resource.volume.name = "vol1"
        resource.path = "/a/b/c/file.txt"
        resource.post(hydrate=True)
        print(resource)

### Removing a file from the monitored files list

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import MonitoredFile

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = MonitoredFile(uuid="6f68c85b-45e1-11e9-8fc7-005056bbc848")
        resource.delete()

### Alternate method for removing files from the monitored files list

Monitored files can also be deleted via a combination of any of (uuid, svm.name, svm.uuid, volume.name, volume.uuid, path). For example, to remove all monitored-files from monitoring in a single svm named vs0, use the following

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import MonitoredFile

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = MonitoredFile()
        resource.delete(**{"svm.name": "vs0"})

## Performance monitoring

Performance of the monitored file can be monitored by the `metric.*` and `statistics.*` properties. These fields show the performance of the monitored file in terms of IOPS, latency and throughput. The `metric.*` properties denote an average whereas `statistics.*` properties denote a real-time monotonically increasing value aggregated across all nodes.

## Classes

`class MonitoredFile (*args, **kwargs)`

  Allows interaction with MonitoredFile objects on the host

  Initialize the instance of the resource.

  Any keyword arguments are set on the instance as properties. For example, if the class was named 'MyResource', then this statement would be true:

      MyResource(name='foo').name == 'foo'

  ## Args

  `*args`
    Each positional argument represents a parent key as used in the URL of the object. That is, each value will be used to fill in a segment of the URL which refers to some parent object. The order of these arguments must match the order they are specified in the URL, from left to right.
  `**kwargs`
    each entry will have its key set as an attribute name on the instance and its value will be the value of that attribute.

  ### Ancestors

  - Resource

  ### Static methods

  `def count_collection(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> int`

    Retrieves all monitored files.

    ### Expensive properties

    There is an added cost to retrieving values for these properties. They are not included by default in GET results and must be explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See `Requesting specific fields` to learn more. * `statistics.*` * `metric.*`

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /storage/monitored-files`

    Fetch a count of all objects of this type from the host.

    This calls GET on the object to determine the number of records. It is more efficient than calling get_collection() because it will not construct any objects. Query parameters can be passed in as kwargs to determine a count of objects that match some filtered criteria.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the count of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. These query parameters can affect the count. A return_records query param will be ignored.

    ## Returns

    On success, returns an integer count of the objects of this type. On failure, returns -1.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned a status code >= 400, or if there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library.

  `def delete_collection(*args, body: typing.Union = None, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse`

    Removes the file from the list of monitored files.

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /storage/monitored-files`

    Delete all objects in a collection which match the given query.

    All records on the host which match the query will be deleted.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to delete the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `body`
      The body of the delete request. This could be a Resource instance or a dictionary object.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. Only resources matching this query will be deleted.

    ## Returns

    A `NetAppResponse` object containing the details of the HTTP response.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned a status code >= 400

  `def find(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> Resource`

    Retrieves all monitored files.

    ### Expensive properties

    There is an added cost to retrieving values for these properties. They are not included by default in GET results and must be explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See `Requesting specific fields` to learn more. * `statistics.*` * `metric.*`

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /storage/monitored-files`

    Find an instance of an object on the host given a query.

    The host will be queried with the provided key/value pairs to find a matching resource. If 0 are found, None will be returned. If more than 1 is found, an error will be raised or returned. If there is exactly 1 matching record, then it will be returned.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to find a bar for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

    ## Returns

    A `Resource` object containing the details of the object or None if no matches were found.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned more than 1 matching resource.

  `def get_collection(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, max_records: int = None, **kwargs) -> typing.Iterable`

    Retrieves all monitored files.

    ### Expensive properties

    There is an added cost to retrieving values for these properties. They are not included by default in GET results and must be explicitly requested using the `fields` query parameter. See `Requesting specific fields` to learn more. * `statistics.*` * `metric.*`

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /storage/monitored-files`

    Fetch a list of all objects of this type from the host.

    This is a lazy fetch, making API calls only as necessary when the result of this call is iterated over. For instance, if max_records is set to 5, then iterating over the collection causes an API call to be sent to the server once for every 5 records. If the client stops iterating before getting to the 6th record, then no additional API calls are made.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `max_records`
      The maximum number of records to return per call
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

    ## Returns

    A list of `Resource` objects

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library. This would be not be raised when get_collection() is called, but rather when the result is iterated.

  ### Methods

  `def delete(self, body: typing.Union = None, poll: bool = True, poll_interval: typing.Union = None, poll_timeout: typing.Union = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse`

    Removes the file from the list of monitored files.

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /storage/monitored-files`

    Send a deletion request to the host for this object.

    ## Args

    `body`
      The body of the delete request. This could be a Resource instance or a dictionary object.
    `poll`
      If set to True, the call will not return until the asynchronous job on the host has completed. Has no effect if the host did not return a job response.
    `poll_interval`
      If the operation returns a job, this specifies how often to query the job for updates.
    `poll_timeout`
      If the operation returns a job, this specifies how long to continue monitoring the job's status for completion.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

    ## Returns

    A `NetAppResponse` object containing the details of the HTTP response.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned a status code >= 400

  `def post(self, hydrate: bool = False, poll: bool = True, poll_interval: typing.Union = None, poll_timeout: typing.Union = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse`

    Creates a monitored file.

    ### Required properties

    The required properties take the following options: - path and volume.uuid or - path and (svm.name or svm.uuid) and volume.name * `path` - Path to the file to be monitored. * `volume.uuid` - Volume where the file to be monitored exists * `svm.name` or `svm.uuid` - SVM where the file to be monitored exists * `volume.name` - Volume where the file to be monitored exists.

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /storage/monitored-files`

    Send this object to the host as a creation request.

    ## Args

    `hydrate`
      If set to True, after the response is received from the call, a a GET call will be made to refresh all fields of the object.
    `poll`
      If set to True, the call will not return until the asynchronous job on the host has completed. Has no effect if the host did not return a job response.
    `poll_interval`
      If the operation returns a job, this specifies how often to query the job for updates.
    `poll_timeout`
      If the operation returns a job, this specifies how long to continue monitoring the job's status for completion.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will normally be sent as query parameters to the host. If any of these pairs are parameters that are sent as formdata then only parameters of that type will be accepted and all others will be discarded.

    ## Returns

    A `NetAppResponse` object containing the details of the HTTP response.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned a status code >= 400
