Console agent validation with the maintenance console in NetApp Console

04/10/2026 Contributors

You can use the Console agent maintenance console to validate the installation and configuration of a Console agent.

Access the agent maintenance console

You can access the maintenance Console from the Console agent host. Navigate to the following directory:

/opt/application/netapp/service-manager-2/agent-maint-console

config-checker validate

The config-checker validate command allows you to validate the configuration of a Console agent.

Parameters

--services <comma-separated list of services to validate> --REQUIRED--

Choose one or more services to validate. Valid service names are:

*PLATFORM which validates network connectivity to required Console endpoints as well as if the required ports are open for the Console agent.

--validationTypes <comma-separated list validation types to run> --REQUIRED--
Choose from one or more validation types to run. Valid validation types are:

NETWORK which validates network connectivity to required Console endpoints.

HARDWARE which validates that the agent host meets the minimum hardware requirements for the Console agent.

During installation, NetApp checks that the agent host has at least 80 percent of total disk space available, which includes 48 GB in /opt and 32 GB in /var (80 GB total). After installation, it requires at least 20 percent of total disk to remain available, which includes 12 GB in /opt and 8 GB in /var (20 GB total).

--proxy <url> --OPTIONAL--

Specifies the proxy server URL to use for the validation. Required if your agent is configured to use a proxy server.

--certs <paths> --OPTIONAL--

Specifies the path to one or more certificate files to use for the validation. The certificate files must be in PEM format. Separate multiple paths with commas. This parameter is required if your agent uses a custom certificate.

Config-checker validate examples

The following examples include validating network connectivity, required ports, and hardware requirments along with different combinations of using a proxy server and custom certificates.

Validation for network connectivity and hardware requirements:

./agent-maint-console config-checker validate --services PLATFORM --validationTypes NETWORK,HARDWARE

Validation where a proxy server is used for the agent:

./agent-maint-console config-checker validate --services PLATFORM --validationTypes NETWORK,HARDWARE --proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080

Validation where a certificate is used for the agent:

./agent-maint-console config-checker validate --services PLATFORM --validationTypes NETWORK,HARDWARE --certs /path/to/cert1.pem,/path/to/cert2.pem

View help for any command

To view help for any command, append --help to the command. For example, to view help for the proxy add command, use the following command:

./agent-maint-console proxy add --help
