Default Dashboard Enhancement Request

[limber grail]

Hello,
I like a lot of the default dashboards, but I'm wondering if maybe one day there can be "model" added to the dashboards where appropriate or have that as an optional column. Unless of course I'm missing how to easily add that information to an existing dashboard. For instance, on the dashboard Harvest-cDOT > ONTAP: Aggregate. I would love to be able to see the nodes, as it shows now; ALONG with the node model, i.e. AFF-C800, AFF-A700, FAS8200 etc...

Is there any plans to have such a feature on future dashboards?

TIA

hi @limber grail can you be more specific about where on the aggergate dashboard you would like node model? Do you mean one or both of these places or other places too?

[limber grail]

@knotty olive I would think it best to just have it down below to the right of the "Node" column. So one could then see the actual NetApp model. So if we were going to export to excel it's already in the spreadsheet so we don't have to go somewhere else to verify the node model. So then we have, cluster, node and "Model".

[knotty olive]

Thanks for the clarification. You mean something like this?

[limber grail]

@knotty olive Yes, exactly

[knotty olive]

hi @limber grail this change is in nightly if you want to try it out. You can grab the json and import it directly if you would rather try it that way https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NetApp/harvest/refs/heads/main/grafana/dashboards/cmode/aggregate.json

[limber grail]

@knotty olive I can delete this single report and it will automatically rebuild correct?

[knotty olive]

if you are using nabox, yes

[limber grail]

Perfect

[limber grail]

@knotty olive I can't delete a single dashbaord, so it would appear I can only delete all of them?

[knotty olive]

yes, that appears to be the case with how NAbox is using provisioned dashboards

[limber grail]

So select them all and go up to Folder Actions --- > Delete?

[knotty olive]

you can delete at the folder level

[limber grail]

I don't see the change.

[knotty olive]

did you install nightly or import the json?

[limber grail]

Awww I see it now.

[limber grail]

@knotty olive Maybe its not supposed to work for all cluster, but it did work for one of my clusters. After that the top panel was blank.

[knotty olive]

@limber grail it should work for all nodes that report their model. Can you run the following Prom query in your VictoriaMetrics and confirm that some nodes have an empty model?
node_labels{model=""}

[limber grail]

@knotty olive I had imported the JSON, mayb I will just install the full nightly and go check then.

[knotty olive]

in this case, it will be the same since there was only a dashboard change to add this feature. Did you try that query I pasted above? I suspect some of your nodes are unhealthy or in take over. Apparently when that is the case, ONTAP does not return the node's model. e.g.

If you run the node_labels{model=""} query in VictoriaMetrics, I bet you will see something similar for your blanks

[limber grail]

@knotty olive Well now I just noticed after upgrading to 25.08.0 I lost access to all of my ontap clusters except for 2.

I may have to revert from a snapshot for now to get things back to normal.

[knotty olive]

Can you grab a support bundle and upload to https://upload.nabox.org/fexy-capo-mejo ?
Do you clusters have ZAPIs disabled? If so, you should upgrade to 25.08.1 per the release notes here

[limber grail]

Let me try that

Awww much better
