Hi All, I've just installed 4.0.7 and am updating the role permissions for harvest 24.08. What does it mean to allow the command "mediator add" but with only "readonly" access? Does that make sense? Or should it be just "mediator show", which would make more sense (to me :-))

hi @remote heart that permission was required to collect SnapMirror active sync mediator metrics. You can always try without it if you prefer. The Mediator collector will fail but the other ones will succeed. More details here

FWIW, 24.11 was released a couple weeks ago. If you just setup things, might be worth moving to 24.11 instead of 24.08

Hi Chris, thanks for getting back to me so quickly - cool!

#

So, just setting the mediator cmd permission to "show" will not bring anything?

correct

remote heart Nov 20, 2024, 1:37 PM

#

So the "add" is somehow better than just "show"?

#

Anyway, if add is correct, I'll set that

#

it was required to make that REST call work, but you can try it without if you prefer and add it later

#

It's running without it at the moment, I don't see any obvious consequences. We do have several MetroClusters (FC and IP).

#

I did notice that the MetroCluster Diagnostics dashboard is empty ... just a warning that it requires >=9.12 and REST

#

We have (mostly) 9.12.1 and I think the nabox polling mode is set to "automatic"

#

if you ssh into nabox4, you can check the harvest.yml to determine if ZAPI or REST is being used.
sudo less /etc/nabox/harvest/harvest.yml

I have a RFE for nabox (4.0.7): Set stricter limits/rules on the email "from" field. When I entered a synatically invalid value there, it killed the grafana container. I.e. the container continuously restarts

harvest yaml stanza for the MCC has "api: Rest". But I'll update harvest and also add some more hosts, then re-check the dashboard

#

Take a look at the collectors: section too, what is the order listed here

#

You can also gather logs and we can take a look to answer some of these questions too

#

Argggh .

#

cannot find "paste unformatted" :-(

#

Anyway, yo get the idea what the file looks like.

wispy gulch Nov 20, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

yes that looks good, Rest will be used before Zapi

I think I've installed harvest 24.11. It was quick to return 🙂

Noted, the goal would be to accept A-Z a-z 0-9-., (comma is to specify multiple recipients. That would work ?
