ONTAP CLI

[David-V]

Checking to see what are the most common commands for ONTAP CLI being used?

I see a reference in docs but just curious if anyone has a cheat sheet or a list that they recommend.

Well, anything I can do on the cli I do on the cli. 
i rarely use the GUI. The exception is to move over ONTAP and firmware files and when needed license files. Other than that I do everything on the cli.

 Why? I do a lot in secure areas. The GUI does things the easy way but not necessarily the secure way. Therefore I secure things as I go on the cli

There's nothing default inside ontap that counts this specifically, but I have had customers ask this question.   We enabled the command audit log ,  let it run for a while and then exported it to Excel and parsed it.

@David-V your question is wide open but these two KBs would be useful, from a "health check" perspective:

• How to perform a health check in ONTAP 9 - NetApp Knowledge Base
• How to perform a cluster health check with a script in ONTAP - NetApp Knowledge Base
