Adding a NetApp StorageGRID Data Collector policy

Note:

Data collection requires a NetApp StorageGRID user with the necessary privileges to access the API.

  • Before adding the policy: A Data Collector must exist in the Portal, to which you will add Data Collector Policies.

  • For specific prerequisites and supported configurations for a specific vendor, see the Certified Configurations Guide.

  • After adding the policy: For some policies, collections can be run on-demand using the Run button on the Collector Administration page action bar. The Run button is only displayed if the policy vendor is supported.

  • On-demand collection allows you to select which probes and devices to run collection against. This action collects data the same as a scheduled run, plus logging information for troubleshooting purposes. For probe descriptions, refer to the policy.

To add the policy

  1. Navigate to Admin >> Data Collection >> Collector Administration >> Add Policy.
  2. Click Add Policy.
  3. Click NetApp StorageGRID from storage column.
  4. Specify the parameters. Mandatory parameters are denoted by an asterisk (*):
