Getting Started

NetApp SolidFire Active IQ 4.0 User Guide 7

Getting StartedActive IQ from NetApp SolidFire is a web-based tool that provides continually updated historical views of cluster-wide statistics.Volumes, nodes, drives, and entire cluster data is stored for five years and is updated at regular intervals depending on the databeing monitored. Notifications can be set up to alert you about specified events, thresholds, or metrics on a cluster so that they canbe addressed quickly when they arise. The Active IQ tool makes monitoring capacity and performance, as well as being informedabout cluster health, easy and accessible from anywhere.

Enabling Active IQ ReportingActive IQ reporting capability must be enabled on the management node before the Active IQ server can connect to a cluster andreceive cluster information. When the connection has been successfully set up, the cluster sends information to the Active IQ server.The cluster can then be viewed in the Active IQ UI, which displays cluster information. Follow the instructions in Setting Up theconnection.json File for Active IQ.

NOTE: For information about enabling reporting in previous versions of Element OS, contact NetApp Support. For furtherdetails about the management node including detailed instructions about creating support bundles, refer to the latest versionof the Element OS User Guide.

NOTE: Google Chrome and Firefox browsers are supported to run with Active IQ.

Setting Up the connection.json File for Active IQYou must configure the connection.json file when connecting to SolidFire Active IQ from behind a proxy server. You might chooseto leave out the proxy and certificates steps if they are not required in your environment. The proxyUsername and proxyPasswordare optional even if you specify a proxy server. If you specify a proxyIP, you must also specify a proxyPort.

NOTE: The certificates option might be required if the collector is installed on something other than a SolidFire managementnode. By default, the certificates option looks for the /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt file to get the set oftrusted root certificates to validate the remote support server SSL certification. If that file does not exist, you can use thecertificates file that is maintained by the cURL project. The certificates file is located at: http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem.Save the cacert.pem file in a desired location, and point the certificates option to that file.

Procedure

1. Open a terminal window and use SSH to connect to your management node.

2. Become "root" user with the following command: sudo su

3. Change to the following directory: cd /solidfire/collector

4. Change the permissions for the collector.py file to 755 with the following command:

sudo chmod 755 collector.py

5. View the help to see the options that you can use to configure the connection.json file (see Help Options for the manage-collector.py Utility):

sudo ./manage-collector.py --help

6. Set the username and MVIP for the collection configuration in the connection.json file. See the following sample inputcommand:

EfficiencyOn the Reporting > Efficiency page, you can view details about thin provisioning, deduplication, and compression on the cluster.

NOTE: All combined efficiencies are calculated by simple multiplication of the reported factor values.

The following describes each of the features:

Thin Provisioning Efficiency This shows the amount of space saved by using this feature. This number reflects the deltabetween the capacity allocated for the cluster and the amount of data actually stored.

Deduplication Efficiency This shows the ratio multiplier of the amount of space that was saved by not storing duplicatedata in the cluster.

Compression Efficiency This shows the effect of data compression on stored data in the cluster. Different data typescompress at different rates. For example, text data and most documents easily compress to asmaller space, but video and graphical images typically do not.
