Setting up NetApp Harvest

[IanPMcCue]

I'm currently trying to setup Grafana to monitor our NetApp's.  I have followed the two guides provided by NetApp and currently have Grafana, Graphite & NetApp Harvest running on a ubuntu 16.04 LTS VM.

Everything appears to test ok & I can connect to the web portals for both Grafana & Graphite fine.  For some reason though NetApp Harvest dosn't appear to be pulling data from my SAN.  I think I've configered it correctly but when I run the command ./netapp-manager -status I get the following out put: -

root@stu-netmon-001:/opt/netapp-harvest# ./netapp-manager -status
STATUS POLLER GROUP
############### #################### ##################

I've included a copy of my config file, I'm not sure why the 2 fillers arn't listed here but I think thats my problem.

Many Thanks for any gudiance.

Hi @IanPMcCue

Sorry to hear it's not working.  Normally you cluster would be listed in the output you pasted so there must be an issue with your netapp-harvest.conf file.  You mentioned it was attached but I don't see it.  Can you provide the contents?  You can also just paste with inlne, use the {i} icon in the editor and it will be formatted nicely too.

Cheers,

Hi Sorry, though I had added the file.  Here is the config file: -

##
## Configuration file for NetApp Harvest
##
## This file is organized into multiple sections, each with a [] header
##
## There are two reserved section names:
##  [global]  - Global key/value pairs for installation
##  [default] - Any key/value pairs specified here will be the default
##              value for a poller should it not be listed in a poller section.
##
## Any other section names are for your own pollers:
##  [cluster-name]     - cDOT cluster (match name from cluster CLI prompt)
##  [7-mode-node-name] - 7-mode node name (match name from 7-mode CLI prompt)
##  [OCUM-hostname]    - OCUM server hostname (match hostname set to system)

## Quick Start Instructions:
## 1. Edit the [global] and [default] sections and replace values in all 
##    capital letters to match your installation details
## 2. For each system to monitor add a section header and  populate with
##    key/value parameters for it.
## 3. Start all pollers that are not running: /opt/netapp-harvest/netapp-manager start
##
## Note: Full instructions and list of all available key/value pairs is found in the
##       NetApp Harvest Administration Guide

##
#### Global section for installation wide settings
##
[global]
grafana_api_key   = HIDDEN BY ME
grafana_url       = http://localhost:9090

##
#### Default section to set defaults for any user created poller section
##
[default]
graphite_server   = HIDDEN BY ME
username          = netapp-harvest
password          = HIDDEN BY ME

## If using ssl_cert (and not password auth) 
## uncomment and populate next three lines
# auth_type         = ssl_cert
# ssl_cert          = INSERT_PEM_FILE_NAME_HERE
# ssl_key           = INSERT_KEY_FILE_NAME_HERE

##
#### Poller sections; Add one section for each cDOT cluster, 7-mode node, or OCUM server
#### If any keys are different from those in default duplicate them in the poller section to override.
##

# [INSERT_CLUSTER_OR_CONTROLLER_NAME_HERE_EXACTLY_AS_SHOWN_FROM_CLI_PROMPT]
hostname       = HIDDEN BY ME
group          = HS1

hostname       = HIDDEN BY ME
group	       = HS1

# [INSERT_OCUM_SERVER_NAME_HERE]
hostname          = HIDDEN BY ME
group             = HS1
host_type         = OCUM                  
data_update_freq  = 900 
normalized_xfer   = gb_per_sec

Hi,

Kind of late reply but maybe it helps others.

In the pollers section, you need to remove the hash and insert the hostname into the square brackets.

[Hostname1]
hostname       = HIDDEN BY ME
group          = HS1

[Hostname2]
hostname       = HIDDEN BY ME
group	       = HS1

[Hostname3]
hostname          = HIDDEN BY ME
group             = HS1
host_type         = OCUM                  
data_update_freq  = 900 
normalized_xfer   = gb_per_sec
