How do I determine if the cleaner has been turned off in HyperFlex?

Hi experts,

I've been trying to determine some space allocations on a HyperFlex cluster via an ssh session to a Storage Controller VM.

I've discovered that I can turn off the HyperFlex cleaner with the command

stcli cleaner stop

And I can start it again with

stcli cleaner start

But at any given time, I don't seem to have a way of determining if either of these commands has been run.

The only other stcli cleaner commands that are available are: (from the CLI Guide with my annotations)

 
Option MY NOTES Description
get-schedule

ALWAYS reports policyActive as False
(perhaps reports True if command run
while cleaner is running)

Reports storage cluster cleaner high priority schedule.

info

Only gives IP/ID and Online status

Provides information about the specified storage cluster cleaner.

report

Gives space info per node,
but nothing about times

Reports storage cluster space reclaimed from cleaner.

set-schedule

 

Sets storage cluster cleaner high priority schedule.

start

 

Starts storage cluster cleaner.

stats

Gives space info per disk,
but nothing about times
Has an optional --start option

Collects storage cluster cleaner stats.

stop

 

Stops storage cluster cleaner.

I've added some samples below.

I'd be grateful if anyone can tell how to determine if the HX Cluster has had had the stcli cleaner stop command run, either from the command line or using the HyperFlex API.

OK for the record, I've answered my own question, the command to find if the cleaner has been disabled or not is

admin:~$ stcli cleaner info

If the cleaner has been disabled, the nodes will show OFFLINE
