Adding NetApp CLI commands to collector

[JustinNet1]

Hey Team, I have a customer wondering how hard it would be to get the following NetApp CLI commands put into the collector:

                    "statistics show-periodic -interval 1 -iterations 1 -summary true -object process -instance secd -counter total_stat_period"

                    "statistics show-periodic -interval 1 -iterations 1 -summary true -object process -instance mgwd -counter total_stat_period"

                    "statistics show-periodic -interval 1 -iterations 1 -summary true -object process -instance vldb -counter total_stat_period"

                    "statistics show-periodic -interval 1 -iterations 1 -summary true -object process -instance cifsKsmfUpCallThreadMain -counter total_stat_period"

Hi @JustinNet1 give this a try.

Summary

• Add a new ZapiPerf template to collect these performance counters. Keep in mind these won't work with the RestPerf collector since these counters are not currently available via Rest.
• Tell Harvest to use the new template

Steps

All of these commands are run from the Harvest install directory.

1. Create a new ZapiPerf template

vi conf/zapiperf/cdot/9.8.0/custom_process.yaml

2. Copy and paste the following into custom_process.yaml, save and exit.

name:                     Process
query:                    process
object:                   process

instance_key:             uuid

counters:
  - instance_name       => name
  - node_name           => node
  - total_stat_period

plugins:
  LabelAgent:
    - include_equals:
        - name `cifsKsmfUpCallThreadMain`
        - name `mgwd`
        - name `secd`
        - name `vldb`

export_options:
  instance_keys:
    - name
    - node

3. Tell Harvest to use your new template by creating a file named conf/zapiperf/custom.yaml
4. Copy and paste the following into the conf/zapiperf/custom.yaml file

objects:
  Process:                  custom_process.yaml

5. Restart Harvest
6. Collect new metrics, e.g.

curl -s 'http://localhost:12990/metrics' | grep process_total_stat_period

process_total_stat_period{cluster="umeng-aff300-01-02",datacenter="dc-1",name="cifsKsmfUpCallThreadMain",node="umeng-aff300-02"} 1681817534
process_total_stat_period{cluster="umeng-aff300-01-02",datacenter="dc-1",name="cifsKsmfUpCallThreadMain",node="umeng-aff300-03"} 1680601455
process_total_stat_period{cluster="umeng-aff300-01-02",datacenter="dc-1",name="mgwd",node="umeng-aff300-02"} 1681819055
process_total_stat_period{cluster="umeng-aff300-01-02",datacenter="dc-1",name="mgwd",node="umeng-aff300-03"} 1680604456
process_total_stat_period{cluster="umeng-aff300-01-02",datacenter="dc-1",name="secd",node="umeng-aff300-02"} 1681822536
process_total_stat_period{cluster="umeng-aff300-01-02",datacenter="dc-1",name="secd",node="umeng-aff300-03"} 1680605967
process_total_stat_period{cluster="umeng-aff300-01-02",datacenter="dc-1",name="vldb",node="umeng-aff300-02"} 1681822105
process_total_stat_period{cluster="umeng-aff300-01-02",datacenter="dc-1",name="vldb",node="umeng-aff300-03"} 1680602381

@JustinNet1 Harvest 1.4 is no longer supported and upgrading directly from 1.4 to 2.0 is also not officially supported. For more information, please refer to this link.

[JustinNet1]

Will the customer have to update to 1.6 or can they run 1.4 and 2.0 in parallel?

[cgrinds]

hi @JustinNet1 Multiple versions can be run in parallel. I don't think 1.6 is posted on Toolchest anymore. If memory serves, it was removed several years ago.

[JustinNet1]

Thank you, so 1.4 should work just fine?

[rahulguptajss]

Yes, you can run both 1.4 and 2.0 in parallel.
