# Spectrum Virtualize Insights / SVCi
|
# Repository moved
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**SVCi** is a utility that collects metrics from one or more *IBM SAN Volume Controllers*. The metric data is processed and saved into an InfluxDB time-series database. Grafana is used to visualize the metrics data from InfluxDB through provided dashboards, or your own customized dashboards.

## Installation and Setup
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are few steps in the installation.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Prepare your Spectrum Virtualize
|
|
||||||
2. Installation of InfluxDB and Grafana software
|
|
||||||
3. Installation and configuration of *SVC Insights* (SVCi)
|
|
||||||
4. Configure Grafana and import example dashboards
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 1 - Prepare Spectrum Virtualize
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Create a user with the "Monitor" role
|
|
||||||
- To start extended statistics, the user must be in the "Administrator" role (svctask startstats -interval 30)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 2 - InfluxDB and Grafana Installation
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Install InfluxDB (v. **1.8** or later) on a host which is network accessible by the SVCi utility (the default InfluxDB port is 8086). You can install Grafana on the same server or any server which are able to connect to the InfluxDB database. The Grafana installation needs to be accessible from your browser (default on port 3000). The default settings for both InfluxDB and Grafana will work fine as a start.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Create the empty *svci* database by running the **influx** CLI command and type:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```text
|
|
||||||
CREATE DATABASE "svci" WITH DURATION 365d REPLICATION 1;
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See the [Influx documentation](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.8/query_language/manage-database/#create-database) for more information on duration and replication.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 3 - SVCi Installation & Configuration
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Install *SVCi* on a host, that can connect to your SAN Volume Controllers (on port 7443), and is also allowed to connect to the InfluxDB service. This *can be* the same LPAR/VM as used for the InfluxDB installation.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Ensure you have **correct date/time** and NTPd running to keep it accurate!
|
|
||||||
- The only requirement for **svci** is the Java runtime, version 8 (or later)
|
|
||||||
- Install **SVCi** from from [packages](https://git.data.coop/nellemann/-/packages/generic/svci/) (rpm, deb or jar) or build from source
|
|
||||||
- On RPM based systems: ```sudo rpm -ivh svci-x.y.z-n.noarch.rpm```
|
|
||||||
- On DEB based systems: ```sudo dpkg -i svci_x.y.z-n_all.deb```
|
|
||||||
- Copy the **/opt/svci/doc/svci.toml** configuration example into **/etc/svci.toml** and edit the configuration to suit your environment. The location of the configuration file can optionally be changed with the *--conf* option.
|
|
||||||
- Run the **/opt/svci/bin/svci** program in a shell, as a @reboot cron task or configure as a proper service - there are instructions in the [doc/](doc/) folder.
|
|
||||||
- When started, *svci* expects the InfluxDB database to exist already.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 4 - Grafana Configuration
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Configure Grafana to use InfluxDB as a new datasource
|
|
||||||
- **NOTE:** set *Min time interval* depending on your SVCi *refresh* setting.
|
|
||||||
- Import example dashboards from [doc/dashboards/*.json](doc/dashboards/) into Grafana as a starting point and get creative making your own cool dashboards - please share anything useful :)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Notes
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### No data (or past/future data) shown in Grafana
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is most likely due to timezone, date and/or NTP not being configured correctly on the SAN Volune Controller and/or host running SVCi.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### InfluxDB Retention Policy
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Examples for changing the default InfluxDB retention policy for the svci database:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```text
|
|
||||||
ALTER RETENTION POLICY "autogen" ON "svci" DURATION 156w
|
|
||||||
ALTER RETENTION POLICY "autogen" ON "svci" DURATION 90d
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Upgrading SVCi
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On RPM based systems (RedHat, Suse, CentOS), download the latest *svci-x.y.z-n.noarch.rpm* file and upgrade:
|
|
||||||
```shell
|
|
||||||
sudo rpm -Uvh svci-x.y.z-n.noarch.rpm
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On DEB based systems (Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives), download the latest *svci_x.y.z-n_all.deb* file and upgrade:
|
|
||||||
```shell
|
|
||||||
sudo dpkg -i svci_x.y.z-n_all.deb
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Restart the SVCi service on *systemd* based Linux systems:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```shell
|
|
||||||
systemctl restart svci
|
|
||||||
journalctl -f -u svci # to check log output
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### AIX Notes
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To install (or upgrade) on AIX, you need to pass the *--ignoreos* flag to the *rpm* command:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```shell
|
|
||||||
rpm -Uvh --ignoreos svci-x.y.z-n.noarch.rpm
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Screenshots
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Screenshots of the provided Grafana dashboard can be found in the [doc/screenshots/](doc/screenshots) folder.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Development Information
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You need Java (JDK) version 8 or later to build svci.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Build & Test
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Use the gradle build tool, which will download all required dependencies:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```shell
|
|
||||||
./gradlew clean build
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Local Testing
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### InfluxDB v1.x
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Start a InfluxDB container:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```shell
|
|
||||||
docker run --name=influxdb --rm -d -p 8086:8086 influxdb:1.8
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Create the *svci* database:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```shell
|
|
||||||
docker exec -i influxdb influx -execute "CREATE DATABASE svci"
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### InfluxDB v2.x
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Start a InfluxDB container:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```shell
|
|
||||||
docker run --name=influxdb --rm -d -p 8086:8086 influxdb:latest
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Then use the Web UI to create an initial user (for the web UI), an organization and bucket: http://localhost:8086/
|
|
||||||
- Then create an API token with RW access to your bucket.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Grafana
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Start a Grafana container, linking it to the InfluxDB container:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```shell
|
|
||||||
docker run --name grafana --link influxdb:influxdb --rm -d -p 3000:3000 grafana/grafana
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Setup Grafana to connect to the InfluxDB container by defining a new datasource on URL *http://influxdb:8086* named *svci*.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are [connecting](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.7/tools/grafana/) to InfluxDB v2.x, then add a custom http header, enter bucket as database and disable authorization.
|
|
||||||
- Authorization = Token abcdef_random_token_from_nfluxdb==
|
|
||||||
- Import dashboards from the [doc/dashboards/](doc/dashboards/) folder.
