Verify PowerScale Telemetry

This page provides verification steps for the PowerScale telemetry data flow to VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs.

Prerequisites

• The Configure PowerScale Telemetry procedure is complete.
• The service Kubernetes cluster is running with telemetry pods deployed.

Verify PowerScale Telemetry Pods

1. Verify that the VictoriaMetrics pods are running:

   Run on K8s control plane

   kubectl get pods -n telemetry -o wide | grep vm
   

   

2. Verify that the VictoriaMetrics service is running:

   Run on K8s control plane

   kubectl get service -n telemetry -o wide | grep vm
   

   

View PowerScale Metrics in VictoriaMetrics UI (VMUI)

Use the VMUI to validate that PowerScale telemetry data is being collected and stored successfully.

1. Note the External IP and port number of the VictoriaMetrics service.

2. Access the VMUI in a web browser:

   https://<external vmselect loadbalancer IP>:8481/select/0/vmui
   

3. Filter and view telemetry metrics using queries in VMUI. For example, the following query displays detailed PowerScale metrics for each hardware component:

   {__name__=~"powerscale"}
   

   

View PowerScale Logs in VictoriaLogs

Use the VictoriaLogs UI to validate that PowerScale log data is being collected.

1. Verify that the VictoriaLogs pods are running:

   Run on K8s control plane

   kubectl get pods -n telemetry -o wide | grep vl
   

   

2. Verify that the VictoriaLogs service is running:

   Run on K8s control plane

   kubectl get service -n telemetry -o wide | grep vl
   

   

3. Note the External IP and port number of the VictoriaLogs service.

4. Access the VictoriaLogs UI in a web browser:

   https://<external vlselect loadbalancer IP>:9471/select/vmui
   

5. Filter and view PowerScale logs using queries in VictoriaLogs UI. For example, use the * query to display all logs.
