What is Harvest?

Harvest is the open-metrics endpoint for ONTAP, StorageGRID, E-Series and Cisco Nexus Switches

NetApp Harvest brings observability to ONTAP, StorageGRID, E-Series and Cisco Nexus Switches by collecting performance, capacity and hardware metrics, transforming them, and routing them to your choice of a time-series database.

The included Grafana dashboards deliver the datacenter insights you need, while new metrics can be collected with a few edits of the included template files.

Harvest is open-source, released under an Apache2 license, and offers great flexibility in how you collect, augment, and export your datacenter metrics.

Out-of-the-box Harvest provides a set of pollers, collectors, templates, exporters, an optional auto-discover daemon, and a set of ONTAP, StorageGRID, E-Series and Cisco Nexus Switch dashboards for Prometheus and Grafana. Harvest collects the metrics and makes them available to a separately installed instance of Prometheus/InfluxDB and Grafana.
