Enable AuditLog template in Harvest

[rahulguptajss]

The ONTAP: AuditLog dashboard captures operations such as create, update, and delete attempts on volumes via REST or ONTAP CLI commands. By default, this feature is disabled and is only accessible through the REST collector. To enable this feature in Harvest, follow the steps below:

Harvest Installation Type: Native/deb/rpm

Step 1: Create custom.yaml

Let's assume Harvest is installed in /opt/harvest directory. Adjust paths as needed.

Navigate to the rest directory:

cd /opt/harvest/conf/rest

Create custom.yaml if not already exists:

vi custom.yaml

Update the file with the following content:

objects:
  AuditLog:  audit_log.yaml

Step 2: Restart Harvest pollers

bin/harvest restart

Harvest Installation Type: NABox4

⚠️ Note:
Prerequisite: ssh to NABox via admin

Step 1: Create custom.yaml

Navigate to the rest directory:

cd /etc/nabox/harvest/user/rest

Create custom.yaml:

vi custom.yaml

Update the file with the following content:

objects:
  AuditLog:  audit_log.yaml

Step 2: Restart NABox containers

dc restart

Above step is not working for me for Nabox4....do we need to create any file under 9.12.1 folder ?

@rajsuman Could you pls share NABox support bundle @ https://upload.nabox.org/sezy-xova-neru

[rajsuman]

@rahulguptajss I have uploaded the same, we also have many other query regarding enablement of features and adding metrics into nabox for dashboards.

[rahulguptajss]

Thanks @rajsuman. The logs indicate a permissions issue with the audit endpoint.

collector=Rest:AuditLog error="failed to fetchAll href=api/security/audit/messages..., hrefLength=413 err=error making request StatusCode: 403, Error: Permission denied, Message: not authorized for that command, API: /api/security/audit/messages?fields

Could you check that the required permissions as listed here are granted for all clusters for Harvest, and then restart the Harvest pollers?

For other queries, you can open a new discussion here

I have the same issue than rajsuman and i didn't find permission issue in the logs
may i share a nabox bundle?

[rahulguptajss]

Yes, Please share support bundle @ https://upload.nabox.org/zawu-wamy-tyta
Thanks.

[grocanar]

well at the end it works perfectly. i didn't understood what i should see in the dashboord. As soon as i change the size of a volume i see it.
Really great job
