How do you monitor multiple systems?

[reuvygroovy]

How do you modify the api-config.conf file to monitor/pull data from multiple hosts/systems?

[plz]

hey @reuvygroovy ,

In my environment I have one file per storage system (=~ 50 ) and that's the preferred means.

Otherwise if you have a webservices proxy instance that knows about all your systems you can point the config against that one, and it should be able to pull metrics for all the systems. I haven't tried this feature at scale, so I can't give you an estimation on how many systems you can pull metrics for from the proxy in a reasonable amount of time.

In my use case, which is for which I created the tool for, I have e-series deployed in multiple datacenters, so i have separate servers where I run the collection script, and all of them push to the same graphite endpoint.

You can also take a look at https://github.com/NetApp/eseries-perf-analyzer which is a tool published by NetApp for this same purpose.

So I need to then configure a separate service as well for each host?

Also, as another point. You mentioned there is a new tool: https://github.com/NetApp/eseries-perf-analyzer

Question 1: Will the existing version we are currently discussing be retired? Question 2: is the new version collecting newer/different metrics? We are using a brand new system/hardware and want to make sure we are utilizing the correct version

Yes, that's how I run it.

Also, as another point. You mentioned there is a new tool: https://github.com/NetApp/eseries-perf-analyzer

Nope, the main difference is that I'm not a netapp employee, and the other tool is published by netapp.

Question 2: is the new version collecting newer/different metrics? We are using a brand new system/hardware and want to make sure we are utilizing the correct version

From what I saw, they are much similar, but you can check the screenshots to compare.
