Cluster MetroCluster diagnostics endpoint overview

Overview

You can use this API to initiate a MetroCluster diagnostics operation and fetch the results of a completed diagnostics operation on a MetroCluster over IP configuration. The GET operation retrieves the results of a completed diagnostics operation for the MetroCluster over IP configuration. These can include the overall high level and details for the checks done for different components. By default, the response does not include the details. If the fields query is used in the request, the response will include the details. The POST request can be used to start a MetroCluster diagnostics operation or set up a schedule for the diagnostics to be run periodically.

Details

Details provide a way to view all the checks done on a component and the result of each check. The details of the checks are not included in the response by default. In order to fetch the details, use the fields query parameter.

  • node.details

  • aggregate.details

  • cluster.details

  • volume.details

  • connection.details

Starting a MetroCluster diagnostics operation

A new MetroCluster diagnostics operation can be started by issuing a POST to /cluster/metrocluster/diagnostics. There are no extra parameters required to initiate a diagnostics operation.

Polling the POST job for status of diagnostics operation

After a successful POST /cluster/diagnostics operation is issued, an HTTP status code of 202 (Accepted) is returned along with a job UUID and a link in the body of the response. The POST job continues asynchronously and can be monitored by using the job UUID and the /cluster/jobs API. The "message" field in the response of the GET /cluster/jobs/{uuid} request shows the current step in the job, and the "state" field shows the overall state of the job.

Examples
