Hi,

thanks for such a wonerful tool.

I am triying to setup harvest-graphite but got stuck in setting up harvest.

followed all steps as mentioned in the PDF but getting below error.

root@osboxes:~# service netapp-harvest status
● netapp-harvest.service - LSB: Start NetApp Harvest collectors at boot time
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/netapp-harvest; bad; vendor preset: enabled)

updates....

root@osboxes:/var/log/graphite# /etc/init.d/netapp-harvest start
STATUS POLLER SITE
############### #################### ##################
[STARTED] fas3270 netapp1
root@osboxes:/var/log/graphite# /etc/init.d/netapp-harvest status
STATUS POLLER SITE
############### #################### ##################
[RUNNING] fas3270 netapp1

so using /etc/init.d/netapp-harvest it works.. so looks service 'netapp-harvest' is not created/working properly ?

Hi @Kaparwan

The startup script provided doesn't set any return codes which some init systems (and config mgt systems) don't like. This will be be fixed in the forthcoming version of Harvest. Most likely the service script did actually start it; run "ps -ef | grep harvest" and see if it is running.

Simillar problem here with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. inid.d script does not automaticaly start harvest during boot and exits with error.

netapp@grafana:~$ sudo systemctl status netapp-harvest
● netapp-harvest.service - LSB: Start NetApp Harvest collectors at boot time
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/netapp-harvest; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2016-06-20 11:41:45 CEST; 1min 0s ago
     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
Process: 909 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/netapp-harvest start (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

Manual start is ok: Even manual run of sudo /etc/init.d/netapp-harvest start is ok.

Solution is put this line as first line into /etc/init.d/netapp-harvest

#! /usr/bin/env bash

Hope it helps you.

@maddenthanks for such great tool!
