Introduction

The VAST Data Platform unifies storage, database, and containerized compute into a single, scalable software platform to power AI & deep learning in modern data centers and clouds.

In addition to the in-depth analytics provided in the product UI, VAST clusters have built-in Prometheus exporters for easy integration into existing monitoring infrastructure.

This dashboard is one of a collection, each that focuses on a different set of metrics. The full collection is available from the Exporting Metrics to Prometheus article on our support site.

The full collection of dashboards include:

  • VAST Cluster Statistics (this one)
  • Alarms
  • CNodes
  • DNodes
  • Performance by Vip / Vippool
  • Protocols Metadata Statistics
  • Space Capacity + Quotas
  • Top Actors - Users
  • Top Actors - Views

Compatibility

This dashboard supports VAST 5.0-sp60 and later with the built-in Prometheus exporter. For a 4.7 dashboard, see VAST 4.7 Cluster Statistics.

Prometheus Configuration

Here’s an example prometheus.yml configuration:

yaml
scrape_configs:
  # Recommended scrape interval is 60s although 30s may work
  # for smaller clusters. Very large clusters may require longer
  # intervals and a higher scrape_timeout.
  - job_name: 'vast_all'
    metrics_path: '/api/prometheusmetrics/all'
    scrape_interval: 60s
    scrape_timeout: 45s

    scheme: https
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['10.71.10.202:443']
    tls_config:
        insecure_skip_verify: true

    basic_auth:
       username: 'admin'
       password: 'xxxxxx'
