Ok, then I was wrong about the expected level of compatibility with older versions. Sorry about that. It is possible that you could make some use of the data that it has gathered, but obviously not the dashboards. For example, options should have a lot of configuration detail, and perf should have some stats in it. Correlating to recognizable ONTAP objects might be a challenge. ... View more

I'll add that it's extremely rare to see otherwise, except for open source projects. Sometimes you do see a portal where customers can submit bugs and enhancements; connect.Microsoft.com comes to mind. But it's necessarily a separate system from their internal trackers for logistical, legal, and other reasons. But it's still a neat idea for which I can see value for customers. ... View more

It's certainly possible that you won't get 100% of the data, even after resolving any permissions issues. I was thinking to mention that, but as I really didn't know without looking deeply at the code, I figured you would find out either way. As far as permissions goes, here is a list of the capabilities required by the user account: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/NetApp/2.0.2/DeployNetapp/Otherdeploymentconsiderations#Create_a_user_account_with_the_correct_permissions_on_the_NetApp_filers ...

It's up to you. There are now four flagship products: Splunk Enterprise Splunk Hunk Splunk Light Splunk Cloud Of these, the first three are software that you install wherever you like. The last one is a cloud service. To go a step further, the data indexed by Splunk resides within the software and never goes outside unless you configure it to do so. ... View more

As the author of v1 (but not subsequent versions), trust me when I say you probably don't want to bother with v1. 🙂 The answers are: Yes Not without some review. Maybe. I'd really rather not, but keep reading. If you have a lab system to test, I suggest trying the current version against your controllers as they are. I don't recall if we do an explicit version check. If not--then I would expect there is a good chance that most or all things would just work. (We do support 7-mode filers, but not 7.x firmware versions.) If we do a hard version check, which you would find out during install at some point, let me know personally (direct message through here is fine). That could be a quick hack to change the version string. It would be totally unsupported, of course. Then you at least know what's possible, and perhaps that would factor in your upgrade plans. Who knows? Based on the above, then we can talk about v1. As an initial version, it's unpolished and has few features. But more importantly, it would be even harder to support, because version 1 shares nothing code-wise with versions 2 onward. And there are exactly three people on the planet that have mucked with that code, and you don't want to wait on us to dig up the bones to troubleshoot an issue. OTOH, it was released as open source, so legally, there's no barrier. ... View more

When you run that command and drilldown into *inventory, what does the data look like? You should see 1-line events with pipe-separated values, and there should be >100 extracted fields. For example, "classId", as well as all of the fields which would correspond to the things you see in UCS Manager, like model, numOfCpu, etc Look at these screenshots: If not, then I'm wondering if field extraction is borked. ...

Here's an easy way to find this information with a single line of PowerShell. Let's downvote the VBScript answer to oblivion, because it is evil. (No offsnse to the guy who posted it. 🙂 ) PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-WmiObject -Class win32_product | Format-Table -wrap -AutoSize vendor, name, version, identifyingnumber vendor name version identifyingnumber ------ ---- ------- ----------------- Google Inc.

Google Chrome 66.41.32879 {BDD6E5BF-E980-3D1D-A055-C676FBC1AF2D} The answer in this table above is for the 64-bit UF. I'm not able to grab the 32-bit version as it won't install on a 64-bit system. Incidentally, PowerShell v5 (now in technical preview as of this writing) has a cmdlet called Get-Package which can also get information like this (and more). If you don't want to install PS v5 preview versions, you can also install the OneGet module on PowerShell v3 and above (I think).
