Can't import / export Grafana with netapp-manager

[fcoudert]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install NetApp Harvest + Grafana + Graphite.

In the ultimate step i have this error :

root@infxprep01:/opt/netapp-harvest# /opt/netapp-harvest/netapp-manager -import
[OK ] Will import dashboards to http://127.0.0.1:443
[ERROR ] Failed to import dashboard [db_netapp.json] due to error: 500 addr is not a string
[ERROR ] -Response was :addr is not a string at /usr/share/perl5/IO/Socket/IP.pm line 750.

I use Debian 8.0 / Grafana 2.5 and the latest NetApp Harvest release.

I don't understand the probleme with the JSON.

URL is good, port is 443, i'm using https.

I would like to say that the JSON.pm wasn't present in the netapp harvest zip ( in netapp-manageability-sdk-5.4P1/lib/perl/NetApp/).

It was install from debian repository 

apt-get install libjson-perl

Thanks for any help.

I'm sorry It was obvious ... 😕

I have another real problem this one ...

I have installed all the chain tool.

I have only 7-mode DataOnTap SAN.

netapp-harvest look working find.

But in Graphite (port 81) , I'don't see any data : 

And In Graphana ... The only data I have is from the Graphana server activity : 

But All the data from the SAN don't appears .. I have nothing or a Python Error ...

I have followed the installation guide on Debian 8.0, I don't understand where is the probleme ..

Hi @fcoudert,

I would check the log in /opt/netapp-harvest/log/ to see if there are any errors about sending the data to the graphite system.  After starting with about 2 minutes the first metrics will be sent to Graphite cabon service and if there is a connection problem it will display an error, otherwise they are being received.  Next the Graphite carbon service has to write these to disk.  If the disk is full, or there is a permissions issue, this will fail, so this is something to check.  You can also check the carbon logfile 'creates.log' for status of the created metrics files to look for errors.  That log can vary based on distribution but is usually in /var/log/carbon, /var/log/graphite-carbon, or /opt/graphite/storage/log/carbon-cache/carbon-cache-a/.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for you help the problem was on the port carbon-graphite configuration between harvest and graphite.

Now all it's great except some little probleme, in a working dashboard I have some metrics who said they have problemes with data series.

And

[fcoudert]

I would like to say that's the problems metrics are only with "mutliple series"  in 7-mode groups in the CPU / DISK R/W.

Otherwise, All is running fine 🙂

Thank's for this good tool !

@fcoudert,

Maybe you are running a Grafana release newer than 2.3.1?  If yes then updated dashboards are needed, see here for more: http://blog.pkiwi.com/grafana-2-5-support-with-netapp-harvest/

Cheers,

Chris

[fcoudert]

Thank's so much for your help !

All is working fine and my boss love the graphics 😉

Just a last question.

I have an old metrocluster FAS3140 on DataOntap Release 8.0.3P3 7-Mode and the TLS options seem don't exist on this version 😕

Do you have an alternative way for no-tls controlers ?

[madden]

@fcoudert,

Good to hear things are working for you now!

For non-TLS controllers you *might* be able to use an older version of the NetApp SDK to allow it.

Get SDK 5.3: http://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/nmsdk/5.3/

So try the following:

1) Download from the support site and copy into /tmp.

2) Extract it:

cd /tmp

unzip netapp-manageability-sdk-5.3.zip netapp-manageability-sdk-5.3/lib/perl/NetApp/*

3) Stop the poller

/opt/netapp-harvest/netapp-manager -stop

4) Rename current lib

mv /opt/netapp-harvest/lib /opt/netapp-harvest/lib-5.4

5) Copy 5.3 lib in place

mv netapp-manageability-sdk-5.3/lib/perl/NetApp/* /opt/netapp-harvest/lib

6) Start poller

/opt/netapp-harvest/netapp-manager -start

Let me know if it works!

If it doens't help you can revert to the original library by doing step 3, rm -rf /opt/netapp-harvest/lib, mv /opt/netapp-harvest/lib-5.4 /opt/netapp-harvest/lib, and then step 6 again.

Cheers,

Chris Madden

Grafana dashboard is not displaying imported objects from /opt/netapp-harvest/netapp-manager –import though they appear to import with no errors…  Any thought, guidance?
