Should I have data in "FCP" panel or is considered redundant? Getting "No Data" on everything.

The SVM Highlights are populated / showing data... wasn't sure if I have an issue with StatPerf vs RestPerf... both should be setup, but I'm not sure how to validate what is what

@verbal quest FCP metrics are only supported by the ZapiPerf and RestPerf collectors currently, so these panels will be empty for ASAr2. You can refer to the metrics documentation here:
https://netapp.github.io/harvest/26.02/ontap-metrics/#fcp_lif_avg_read_latency

ASAr2 supports a limited set of performance metrics, as noted here: https://netapp.github.io/harvest/26.02/asar2/

However, with StatPerf we can enable additional metrics. Let us know if you’d like to enable fcp_lif metrics via the StatPerf collectors.

verbal quest Mar 5, 2026, 2:53 PM

#

yea, that's what I was looking for... the individual FCP lif metrics

hi @verbal quest the documentation at https://netapp.github.io/harvest/26.02/asar2/ mentions enabling StatPerf
Can you follow the instructions there to install StatPerf and then enable the FcpLif template. How did you install Harvest?

verbal quest Mar 5, 2026, 3:42 PM

#

basically the "quick start" processes ... I did the StatPert steps as part of it since I assumed I would need it at some point, if not at the start

woven haven Mar 5, 2026, 3:45 PM

#

Did you also do these steps for your ASAr2 cluster? https://netapp.github.io/harvest/26.02/prepare-cdot-clusters/#statperf-least-privilege-role

The quickstart process uses the Harvest native binary (not Nabox, containers, or Deb/RPM). Is that how you installed?

verbal quest Mar 5, 2026, 3:46 PM

#

yep

#

to both

woven haven Mar 5, 2026, 3:48 PM

#

Great! To enable the FcpLif StatPerf template create a custom.yaml file here conf/statperf/custom.yaml The contents of that file should be

objects:
  FcpLif: fcp_lif.yaml

After making those changes, restart your poller(s) and check your log files for a line like this

time=2026-03-05T10:46:15.891-05:00 level=INFO source=helpers.go:113 msg="best-fit template" Poller=sar collector=StatPerf:FcpLif path=conf/statperf/9.8.0/fcp_lif.yaml v=9.16.1 jitter=none

verbal quest Mar 5, 2026, 3:53 PM

#

cool .. will take a look at that shortly (doing a code upgrade this ASA box at the moment)

verbal quest Mar 5, 2026, 10:05 PM

#

weird... my logging stopped working, but I'm still getting data... but no change to the FC data

#

harvest.yaml:

  collectors:
    - StatPerf
    - Rest
    - RestPerf
    - Ems
  use_insecure_tls: true
  exporters:
    - prometheus1

Pollers:

  CLUSTER1:
    datacenter: DC1
    addr: CLUSTER1.foo.com
    auth_style: basic_auth
    username: <creds>
    password: <creds>```

Then the custom.yaml file:
```# cat conf/statperf/custom.yaml 
objects:
  FcpLif: fcp_lif.yaml```

normal crypt Mar 6, 2026, 1:21 PM

#

Are you getting data now?

verbal quest Mar 6, 2026, 2:05 PM

#

no

normal crypt Mar 6, 2026, 2:07 PM

#

Could you share harvest logs @ ng-harvest-files@netapp.com ?

verbal quest Mar 6, 2026, 2:09 PM

#

like I said, since I restart the poller, my logging stopped... I'm still getting data at the SVM layer, but no changes for the FCP piece

normal crypt Mar 6, 2026, 2:09 PM

#

I see. How have you installed Harvest?

#

NABox, container, rpm, deb, tar gz?

verbal quest Mar 6, 2026, 2:10 PM

#

binary files / tar.gz via the "quick start" processes

normal crypt Mar 6, 2026, 2:13 PM

#

Could you try running below command. Pass a POLLERNAME for ASAr2 as you configured in harvest config
You need to run this through your installed directory of harvest

 bin/poller --poller POLLERNAME --collectors StatPerf

#

and share logs. They should print in console only for this command

verbal quest Mar 6, 2026, 2:17 PM

#

```time=2026-03-06T14:14:23.673Z level=ERROR source=collector.go:435 msg="Entering standby mode" Poller=CLUSTER collector=StatPerf:NvmMirror error="error in POST request: StatusCode: 403, Error: Permission denied, Message: not authorized for that command, API: /api/private/cli" task=counter````

hrm... looks like I have a permissions issue, but I was just checking that and thought that entry was there

normal crypt Mar 6, 2026, 2:18 PM

#

Ok try applying these permissions again

https://netapp.github.io/harvest/nightly/prepare-cdot-clusters/#statperf-least-privilege-role

verbal quest Mar 6, 2026, 2:41 PM

#

that took care of it...

this was the problem:
security login rest-role create -role harvest-rest-role -access read_create -api /api/private/cli

that was throwing a "duplicate entry" since the "readonly" rule had existed from other processes

#

i just missed it 🤷

normal crypt Mar 6, 2026, 2:41 PM

#

cool. Yeah StatPerf requires read_create

verbal quest Mar 6, 2026, 2:41 PM

#

I still don't get why my log isn't updating 🤔

normal crypt Mar 6, 2026, 2:42 PM

#

You are usually getting it /var/log/harvest right?

verbal quest Mar 6, 2026, 2:42 PM

#

yep .. it just stopped logging there after I added that custom.yaml and restarted

normal crypt Mar 6, 2026, 2:47 PM

#

Are you getting metric data now?

verbal quest Mar 6, 2026, 2:47 PM

#

yea, I am getting the FCP data in the dashboards now

normal crypt Mar 6, 2026, 2:49 PM

#

for logs, Let me check what can we do

verbal quest Mar 6, 2026, 2:51 PM

#

was just vadliting permissions... the 'harvest' user runs and owns everything, best I can tell

normal crypt Mar 6, 2026, 2:51 PM

#

are you running it via systemd?

verbal quest Mar 6, 2026, 2:52 PM

#

yea

normal crypt Mar 6, 2026, 2:52 PM

#

Any disk space issue?

verbal quest Mar 6, 2026, 2:52 PM

#

nope, that was the first thing I checked... been bit by that before 😄

normal crypt Mar 6, 2026, 2:55 PM

#

Yeah.. It seems like permission issue only to me. But you have checked it already

#

try running below command

journalctl -u harvest -n 50

#

or try tunning permissions again

sudo chown -R harvest:harvest /var/log/harvest/
sudo chmod 755 /var/log/harvest/

# Restart harvest
sudo systemctl restart harvest
