Hello,
I was wanting to get my SMB report populated and I had come across this article - https://github.com/NetApp/harvest/discussions/2633
It's a few years old so I wanted to make sure this still applies today in NAbox 4, since originally written for NAbox 3.
Thanks!

@craggy fox These steps are for NABox3 only.

Right. Are there any for NAbox4 that was my question. I couldn’t find anything.

I'll need to write the steps. I'll share.

#

Are you using Rest or Zapi?

Perfect!

Worked flawlessly.

#

My only question left is how do you enable the Heatmap section, those paths don't exist. Also, the SMB performance section does that take 24 hours to show anything?
