Before you start using SolidFire Active IQ, you should be aware of how SolidFire Active IQ works and what information it collects.

How SolidFire Active IQ works

Services such as collector and telemetry run on a management node. These services are configured with read-only access to a cluster and make API calls to a cluster on a scheduled basis to gather key performance, capacity, and health metrics. This information is uploaded to the SolidFire Active IQ cloud database by using HTTPs, where it is processed and made available to you and NetApp Support through the SolidFire Active IQ UI. You can view the most recent API payloads and collection intervals received for a cluster in the SolidFire Active IQ UI by logging in using your SSO credentials and selecting API Collection from the Reporting drop-down menu.
