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