23.02.0

[cgrinds]

23.02.0 / 2023-02-21

📌 Highlights of this major release include:

• ✨ Harvest includes a new file system analytics (FSA) dashboard with directory growth, top directories per volume, and volume usage statistics.

• Harvest includes a new StorageGRID overview dashboard with performance, storage, information lifecycle management, and node panels. We're collecting suggestions on which StorageGRID dashboards you'd like to see next in issue #1420.

• 💡 Power dashboard includes new panels for total power by aggregate disk type, average power per used TB, average IOPs/Watt, total power by aggregate, and information on sensor problems.

• 🎩 Harvest makes it easy to run with both the ZAPI and REST collectors at the same time. Overlapping resources are deduplicated and only published to Prometheus once. This was the final piece in our journey to REST. See rest-strategy.md if you are interested in the details.

• 📕 We made lots of improvements to Harvest's new documentation site this release including one of the most requested features - a list of Harvest metrics and their corresponding ONTAP ZAPI/REST API mappings. 📐 Check it out

• 💎 New dashboards and improvements

Announcements

‼️ IMPORTANT NetApp moved their communities from Slack to Discord, please
join us there!

‼️ IMPORTANT If using Docker Compose and you want to keep your historical Prometheus data, please
read how to migrate your Prometheus volume

💡 IMPORTANT After upgrade, don't forget to re-import your dashboards, so you get all the new enhancements and
fixes. You can import them via the bin/harvest/grafana import CLI, from the Grafana UI, or from
the Maintenance > Reset Harvest Dashboards button in NAbox.

🌻 In the 22.11.0 release notes, we announced that we would be removing quota metrics prefixed with qtree.
Several of you asked us to leave them. 👍 We will continue publishing them as-is.

Known Issues

• Harvest does not calculate power metrics for AFF A250 systems. This data is not available from ONTAP via ZAPI or REST.
  See ONTAP bug 1511476 for more details.

• ONTAP does not include REST metrics for offbox_vscan_server and offbox_vscan until ONTAP 9.13.1. See ONTAP bug
  1473892 for more details.

IMPORTANT 7-mode filers that are not on the latest release of ONTAP may experience TLS connection issues with errors
like tls: server selected unsupported protocol version 301 This is caused by a change in Go 1.18.
The default for TLS client connections was changed to TLS 1.2 in Go 1.18.
Please upgrade your 7-mode filers (recommended) or set tls_min_version: tls10 in
your harvest.yml poller section.
See #1007 for more details.
