Excluding volumes from Volume Deep dive or Top clients

[s-kuchi]

I tried to look for the answer for this but couldn't find it in the discussion and may be it is simple, how do we exclude certain volumes from extra monitoring like Top clients/files or volume deep dive? Is it as simple as adding the following in volume.yml or custom.yaml?

exclude_equals:

• volume xyz

or

exclude_regex:

• volume 'xyz.+'

@s-kuchi ,

To filter out few volumes in volume deep dive dashboard, you can add exclude_equal or exclude_regex which you have mentioned above in LabelAgent section in both rest and restperf volume template either directly volume.yaml or based on the customisation you have implemented you can add in custom volume template. In below example, we have filtered out volumes containing abc or osc in volume name.

exclude_regex:
- volume .+_CVclone
- volume .+(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])(0[1-9]|1[012])\d\d[0-9]{6}
- volume cl_.+_(19|20)\d\d(0[1-9]|1[012])( 0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[0-9]{6}
- volume sdw_cl_.+
- volume MDV_CRS_.+
- volume MDV_aud_.+
- volume abc
- volume osc

For filtering volumes in Top clients/files, Currently it's not honouring the exclude criteria above, PR will be out soon to support that.

PR #3888 has been merged to main, it would support honouring the exclude criteria to volume Top clients/files.
Changes are now in the nightly build if you want to give it a try.

@Hardikl : Thank you. I have some Netapps running an older code so i can't upgrade Harvest since the newer harvest doesn't support ZAPI. I'll try exclude_equal or exclude_regex.

hi @s-kuchi All versions of Harvest still support ZAPIs. Whether REST or ZAPI is used is up to you depending on the collectors you list in your harvest.yml. More details here.

Ah. Thanks @cgrinds , i misread this Upgrade recommendation and I thought you only upgrade to 25.08.0 if ZAPIs are disabled. I recognized my mistake. I'll upgrade Harvest.
