Hi! Any chance port health label can be added to nic_labels metric or nic_new_status? I had very unpleastent outage, when one port was up but degradated.

#

@chilly violet Would you know any ontap cli which shows this?
How about network port show -health ?

chilly violet May 21, 2026, 8:07 AM

#

yup

unreal cradle May 21, 2026, 8:10 AM

#

Yes, It can be added to Ethernet Ports table in Network dashboard. Does that work for you? It will be added to net_port_status.

chilly violet May 21, 2026, 8:21 AM

#

perfect, thanks! do you want me to open github issue for that?

unreal cradle May 21, 2026, 8:23 AM

#

Yes please

unreal cradle May 22, 2026, 12:05 PM

#

@chilly violet This change is now available in nightly build of Harvest. Please upgrade to this version and share your feedback. Thanks.

chilly violet May 25, 2026, 11:39 AM

#

Thanks. NetPort is enabled by default? don't see that metric in default setup

unreal cradle May 25, 2026, 11:43 AM

#

Yes, it is enabled by default. What is your Harvest version?

#

Okay. Are you saying that you don't have metric named net_port_status ?
Which collector are you using Rest, Zapi?

chilly violet May 25, 2026, 11:51 AM

#

    datacenter: [...]
    addr: [...]
    auth_styl basic_auth
    username: harvest
    password: "..."
    use_insecure_tls: true  # Disable TLS verification when connecting to ONTAP cluster
    exporters:
      - prometheus1
    collectors:
      - Zapi
      - ZapiPerf
      - Rest
      - RestPerf```

unreal cradle May 25, 2026, 11:52 AM

#

I see. This field is not added to Zapi templates. Let me check and get back.

chilly violet May 25, 2026, 11:52 AM

#

can i use Rest?

unreal cradle May 25, 2026, 11:52 AM

#

What is your ontap version?

shut tide May 25, 2026, 12:00 PM

#

9.16.1P11

unreal cradle May 25, 2026, 12:01 PM

#

Yes, you can switch order of collectors as

Rest
RestPerf
Zapi
ZapiPerf

#

For Zapi, You would need this template change
https://github.com/NetApp/harvest/pull/4304/changes

chilly violet May 25, 2026, 12:02 PM

#

Rest & Zapi are redundant? can/should we use one of them?

unreal cradle May 25, 2026, 12:05 PM

#

In the case of version 9.16, you can just use Rest and RestPerf. Even if you have set both Rest/RestPerf and Zapi/ZapiPerf, Harvest will dedup common objects based on which collector is set first.

#

Below is the metric, you should see with Rest collectors with nightly build

chilly violet May 25, 2026, 12:23 PM

#

still the same :

      - Rest
      - RestPerf```

#

Collectors:[] is correct?

unreal cradle May 25, 2026, 12:24 PM

#

Yes that is fine.

#

Ok. I see that you are using container based deployment and you are mounting conf folder.
Can you check if you have template changes?
Can you share content of

conf/rest/9.12.0/netport.yaml ?

#

Also pls confirm problem statement from below.
a) You are not getting the net_port_status metric at all
b) You are getting the net_port_status metric, but it does not have the health_status label

shut tide May 25, 2026, 12:29 PM

#

not getting net_port metric at all, checking conf dir, give us a sec

unreal cradle May 25, 2026, 12:29 PM

#

sure. Please share conf/rest/default.yaml as well

chilly violet May 25, 2026, 12:30 PM

#

#  ExportRule:                  exports.yaml
#  NetPort:                     netport.yaml```

#

🙂

unreal cradle May 25, 2026, 12:31 PM

#

Here it is. Let's enable that.

#

Are you using docker compose workflow for containers? or some other workflow?
https://netapp.github.io/harvest/26.05/install/containers/#docker-compose

shut tide May 25, 2026, 12:31 PM

#

docker compose but podman for containers

chilly violet May 25, 2026, 12:31 PM

#

netport.yaml is not updated as well

unreal cradle May 25, 2026, 12:33 PM

#

Okay. Ideally, if steps here https://netapp.github.io/harvest/26.05/install/containers/#docker-compose
are followed then templates should update as well.

#

For now, you can edit Rest netport.yaml to have this change

https://github.com/NetApp/harvest/pull/4297/changes

Grafana dashboard is here

chilly violet May 25, 2026, 12:45 PM

#

yup - apologize for that. Metrics are available.

unreal cradle May 25, 2026, 12:48 PM

#

Great!
