You can enable storage telemetry (the Active IQ collector service) for your SolidFire all-flash storage if you did not already do so during installation or upgrade. The AIQ collector service forwards configuration data and Element software-based cluster performance metrics to NetApp SolidFire Active IQ for historical reporting and near real-time performance monitoring.
Before you begin
- Your cluster version is running NetApp Element software 11.3 or later.
- You have deployed a management node running version 11.3 or later.
- You have internet access. The Active IQ collector service cannot be used from dark sites.
Steps
- Open the REST API UI on the management node: https://[management node IP]/mnode
- Click Authorize or any lock icon and complete the following:
- Enter the cluster user name and password.
- Enter the client ID as mnode-client if the value is not already populated.
- Copy the token URL string and paste it into another browser tab to initiate a token request.
- Click Authorize to begin a session.
- Click GET /assets.
- Copy the value for "id" for the base asset to your clipboard:
Note: A base asset and sub-assets were created when you ran the upgrade or setup scripts during management node installation or upgrade.

- Configure the base asset:
- Click PUT /assets/{asset_id}.
- Click Try it out.
- Enter the following in the JSON payload:
{
"telemetry_active": true
"config": {}
}
- Enter the ID from the base asset step in asset_ID.
- Click Execute.
The Active IQ service is automatically restarted whenever assets are changed. Modifying assets results in a short delay before settings are applied.
