Hello, on the Flex Cache dashboard how do I get the Evict, Reconcile & Invalidate sections to populate? I'm using REST.

Thanks!

hi @wide vale checking that dashboard and looking at the metric used by one of the Evict panels, I see this metric flexcache_evict_skipped_reason_config_noent If we check which templates provide that metric
https://netapp.github.io/harvest/nightly/ontap-metrics/#flexcache_evict_skipped_reason_config_noent

we see StatPerf and ZapiPerf. You mentioned that you are using REST. You will need to add the StatPerf or ZapiPerf collector to get these metrics. The top of the dashboard should mention that too.

StatPerf/ZapiPerf are required because ONTAP does not provide those metrics via RestPerf. That's part of why we added the StatPerf collector for situations like this

You mean add them to my harvest.yml file?

correct, add either StatPerf or ZapiPerf to the poller section in your harvest.yml it's fine to add StatPerf below your Rest and RestPerf Make sure you setup the permissions for StatPerf https://netapp.github.io/harvest/nightly/prepare-cdot-clusters/#statperf-least-privilege-role

Yep did the statperf long ago. So I will get the harvest.yml configured and will update when running as expected.
