#NFS client dashboards only for desired pollers

Hello,
We would like to know if it is possible to enable NFS client metrics from the screenshot for only a desired cluster.

You can apply below pattern in harvest configuration for the relevant poller.

Thanks Rahul for your help.
One doubt about this configuration: Do we need to specify every collectors required for this poller? Or this poller takes the general configuration and this additional for its poller?
Additionally too, do we have any dashboard/section in some dash in which we can see the use for every nfs clients in terms of performance (throughput, iops, etc)?

When specifying collectors section in Poller, we have to give all relevant collectors for poller. Default list gets overwritten in this case.
Clients section at volume level may help?

I have enabled the Keyperf collector and additionally VolumeTopClients in the 9.15.0/volume.yaml but we have no results in the clients section of the Volume dashboard.
I have been checking other threads about this topic and I tried the following query which doesn't show records:
||curl --silent --insecure -u user:password 'https://ip_address/api/storage/volumes/*/top-metrics/clients'||
Additionally, I was trying activating the activity tracking without success.

I think that I am missing something but I don't know how to continue since I was doing different tests without result. Perhaps you can enlighten me or give me a clue.

Could you share your Harvest version?

iron sable

Sure! We always have the latest one 😋

harvest version 25.11.0-1 (commit 55927552) (build date 2025-11-10T07:39:50-0500) linux/amd64

given curl --silent --insecure -u user:password 'https://ip_address/api/storage/volumes/*/top-metrics/clients'
doesn't return anything, It makes sense for these panels to be empty. You need to enable activity tracking in ontap for the relevant volume.

#

Not all volumes show this but when it does it should look like below in System manager

From description it seems like this activity tracking setting will apply to only newly supported volumes?

#

Try running below curl and see if any volume has it active

api/storage/volumes?fields=svm.name,name&activity_tracking.state=on

iron sable
#

Yes, I have checked with that query and no volumes has activity tracking enabled as you said.

twilit hatch
#

We can try enabling it for a volume with traffic and see if Harvest captures it.

Sorry for the delay, you are right when we enabled the activity tracking it takes some time until we can see information in the Volume dashboard but after that time the graphs are shown. Is there any way to enable for every volume previosly created? And do you have information about the impact of enabling this feature on storage array?
