We have a tape library connected to our filer. The backups failed. Eventually we found there were link errors by running "node run -node * -command fcstat link_stats". But I don't see these metrics in Harvest. We are using Harvest 23.08.0. Ontap version is 9.10.1P14. Do we need to create a custom template? How? Thanks!
#collect metric like the output from "node run -node * -command fcstat link_stats"

@faint moth In version 23.08, Harvest supports below metrics related to this. Do these help?

No. I get these but it does not have the one link that connects to the tape library. Maybe Ontap does not provide metrics on the link that filer is the initiator?

@faint moth See if these templates help. I didn't have tape drives to test these. Please let us know if there are any issues.

Please note, these are ZapiPerf templates and there is no equivalent template available for these objects in RestPerf at present.
