Where do the default.yaml files typically live on NAbox? | NetApp | Page 1

I'm attempting to enable the changelog plugin. I've noticed that the change log is reference in a default.yaml. https://github.com/NetApp/harvest/blob/main/conf/zapi/default.yaml

If I'm running nabox v4.0.9, harvest 24.11.1 and grafana 11.5.1. Here does one find the default.yaml?

I've tried enabling the plugin as described here but I don't get anything in the dashboard "Changelog Monitor" that comes with NAbox v4:
https://netapp.github.io/harvest/latest/plugins/#changelog

Do I have to specify what to track?
I think the documentation suggests that the default values will be used if I don't specify anything.

manic ridge Feb 27, 2025, 8:53 AM

#

That is right. For svm,node,volume object default values will be used. You don't need to specify track.

#

I'll get to documentation asap and share in couple of hours.

@azure kettle @humble lark I have added steps here

Jeez, that REST directory structure is crazy.

manic ridge Feb 27, 2025, 12:12 PM

#

Yeah, There are various versions of these templates and Rest doesn't support merging.

humble lark Feb 27, 2025, 12:18 PM

#

Is it pick one for which Ontap version or are all of them necessary for REST?

manic ridge Feb 27, 2025, 12:21 PM

#

Adding all is better, As some templates support older ontap versions.

#

You can choose which objects you want to enable changelog plugin for

#

I have documented node,svm,volume

#

It can be extended similiarly to any Harvest templates if it has a uuid under counters. Other objects would need track configuration under plugin.

#

Thank you very much, I'll try this with the REST collector as I assume that is the one for the future.

manic ridge Feb 27, 2025, 12:48 PM

#

Sure. If all of your clusters are using Rest Collector then only Rest changes are needed.

manic ridge Feb 27, 2025, 1:10 PM

#

@humble lark I have updated NABox Rest steps to make them simpler.

humble lark Feb 28, 2025, 6:45 AM

#

I guess we are using ZAPI, only then did I get data in the Changelog dashboard.
REST simply did not give me anything and the systems in NAbox are set to Auto, even though the systems are Ontap 9.15.

manic ridge Feb 28, 2025, 6:47 AM

#

Yes, You can check the collector used for your poller in file

sudo cat /etc/nabox/harvest/harvest.yml

humble lark Feb 28, 2025, 8:10 AM

#

Thanks! I see newly added systems are Rest but the default is Zapi.
Is it a good idea to set them all to Rest specifically through NAbox (instead of Auto) ?
