Is there an easy way to query a DFM server remotely? I'd like to grab
some data on demand (Current CPU). I could do that via SNMP without too
much trouble, but I'd rather not let all the clients directly poll the
filers.
The DFM server already has that information, and I can poll it on the
machine itself with something like 'dfm report filers-ops <filer>'. I'd
rather let the clients hit this machine so there's no performance impact
on the filers if something goes wrong. Is there a way of getting that
same data from a remote host without setting up accounts and automated
logins? I thought I might be able to run the dfm software on the client
directly, but if I can, I'm missing how to specify the server that it
contacts...
The web reports are fine, but I don't want to scrape them through the
normal display. If I can get the raw data from the DFM server via
http/snmp/other, that would be good.
Thanks.
