July / August 2016

Beginning this month, Tech OnTap highlights popular discussion threads appearing in the NetApp Technical Community. In this month’s discussion, Christopher Madden, NetApp IT enterprise architect, shares his Graphite/Grafana Quick Start Installation Guide and fields dozens of questions from community members.

As Christopher writes: “... NetApp Harvest is a data collector that fetches a wide set of performance metrics from NetApp cDOT and 7-mode storage systems, and capacity info from Unified Manager 6, and posts it to an open-source Graphite metrics server. It also imports 19 dashboards containing over 500 graphs into Grafana to make viewing it all a snap...” read the entire blog post.

I am trying to use Graphite to monitor the iSCSI performace within a VSM, but there is no datapoints for iSCSI, I can see the CIFS performance though in the same VMS.

It seems the harvest are not collecting iSCSI data at all.

Any idea why this is happening?
