NCPA v2.1.4 not detecting NFS v3 mounts

[madhu2852]

Hi Team,

I tried to configure monitoring on NFS mounts on RHEL box with NCPA v2.1.4 installed. I found that ncpa is unable to capture the nfs mounts with (nfsvers=3) version.
Its able to capture the mounts which have default nfs version ie. v4.
Below is the o/p from fstab -

WORKING = nfs hard,intr,bg 0 0

NOT WORKING = nfs hard,intr,bg,nfsvers=3 0 0

Have you edited the NCPA configuration to adjust the exclude_fs_types variable accordingly?

Besides doing that, we are using psutil to get the mount data. I checked for issues with nfs and I don't see any. If the configuration is correct please let me know, you'd need to try installing psutil (pip install psutil) and then going into the python terminal and doing:

Code: Select all

import psutil
psutil.psutil.disk_partitions(all=True)

And tell me if you see the mountpoint there.

Please find the details below:

cat /usr/local/ncpa/etc/ncpa.cfg| grep exclude
exclude_fs_types = aufs,autofs,binfmt_misc,cifs,cgroup,debugfs,devpts,devtmpfs,encryptfs,efivarfs,fuse,hugelbtfs,mqueue,overlayfs,proc,pstore,rpc_pipefs,securityfs,smb,sysfs,tmpfs,tracefs

You'll have to run

Code: Select all

python -m pip install psutil

first before running the above.

[madhu2852]

Below is the o/p:

python -m pip install psutil
Requirement already satisfied: psutil in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages
You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 18.0 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Oh I am sorry, it looks like you did psutil.psutil.disk_partitions(all=True)
You should do

Code: Select all

import psutil
psutil.disk_partitions(all=True)

We just want to see what it brings up for disks. This is how it does it inside NCPA.

Yes im able to see mounts in the o/p from the above command.

fstype='nfs', opts='rw,relatime,vers=3
fstype='nfs4', opts='rw,relatime,vers=4.1

Any Update on the issue ..?

Can you clarify what you mean when you say "unable to capture" ? Is a specific command not working? Are you not seeing something in the web UI?

[madhu2852]

When I logged into NCPA API(GUI) i'm not seeing the nfs mounts which are nfs v3.
I'm able to see the mounts in the GUI with v4.
