How to capture collect Disk Qualification Package (dqp) info via Harvest

[cgrinds]

I was not able to find a ZAPI that contained this information, but found two ways to do with REST:

• bin/rest -p aff-250 show data --api /cluster/software (requires a custom plugin because nodes returns an array of software_node_reference
• using api/private/cli/storage/dqp

These instructions are similar to adding a new object template for ZAPI.

1. mkdir -p conf/rest/9.8.0
vim conf/rest/9.8.0/software.yaml

name:             Software
query:            api/private/cli/storage/dqp
object:           software

counters:
  - ^^node           => node
  - ^package_date    => revision
  - ^file_version    => version

export_options:
  instance_keys:
    - node
  instance_labels:
    - revision
    - version

2. vim conf/rest/custom.yaml

objects:
  Software: software.yaml

3. Enable the REST collector for the poller you want to try this with by editing the Pollers section of your harvest.yml

Pollers:
  aff-250:
    datacenter: openlab
    addr: 10.10.10.10
    collectors:
      - Zapi
      - ZapiPerf
      - Rest

4. To test everything, in one terminal:
   bin/poller --poller aff-250 --promPort 14003 --objects Software --collectors Rest

In a different terminal:

curl -s http://localhost:14003/metrics | rg -v "^metadata|#"
software_labels{cluster="A250-15-28-29",datacenter="openlab",node="A250-15-28-29-01",revision="20210613",version="3.18"} 1.0
software_labels{cluster="A250-15-28-29",datacenter="openlab",node="A250-15-28-29-02",revision="20210613",version="3.18"} 1.0

5. Once you're happy with the results you probably want to only want to collect dqp via Rest and not the other resources. You should edit conf/rest/default.yaml and comment out the other resources so you don't collect them via Rest and ZAPI both.
