<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello Richard,</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">the sensor is running once an hour and
the default of mmperfmon returns the last 10 results in a bucket-size of
1 seconds. </font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The sensor did not run in the time of
13:07:31-13:07:40. </font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Please use the command again with the
option -b 3600 or with --bucket-size=3600 and see if you've got any data
for that time.</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If you get any data the question is,
why the GUI isn't able to get the data. If you do not have any data (only
null rows) the question is, why</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">the collector does not get data or why
the sensor does not collect data and sends them to the collector. Since
you get data for the cpu_user metric it is more likely that the sensor
is</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">not collecting and sending anything.
The guide from Markus should help you here. Otherwise just write again
into the user group.</font><br><br><br><font size=1 face="Arial">Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards</font><br><br><font size=2 face="Arial"><b>Greim, Anna</b></font><br><br><font size=1 color=#0060a0 face="Arial">Software Engineer, Spectrum

Capacity</font><br><font size=3 face="sans-serif"> </font><br><font size=3 face="Arial">Hi Richard,</font><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><br></font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>one thing to note.</font><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><br></font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>You tried "mmperfmon query GPFSFilesetQuota" to get metric data.
So you used the sensor's name instead of a metric name. <br>And compared it to "mmperfmon query cpu_user" where you used
the metric name.</font><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><br></font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>mmperfmon will not return data, if you use the sensor's name instead of
a metric's name. I bet you got something like this returned:<br>[root@test-51 ~]# mmperfmon query GPFSFilesetQuota<br>Error: no data available for query<br>.</font><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><br></font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>mmperfmon: Command failed. Examine previous error messages to determine
cause.</font><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><br><br></font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>The log entries you found just tell you, that the collector does not know
any metric named "GPFSFilesetQuota". <br>Please try the query again with gpfs_rq_blk_current or gpfs_rq_file_current.
<br>If the collector never got any data for that metrics, it also does not
know those metrics' names.</font><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><br></font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>But since you do not see any data in the GUI this might be the case. In
this case please check with "mmperfmon config show" <br>if the restrict field is set correctly. You should use the long gpfs name
and not the hostname. You can check, if the configuration file was distributed<br>correctly in checking the /opt/IBM/zimon/ZIMonSensors.cfg on the node that
is supposed to start this monitor. If the mmperfmon command was <br>able to identify the restrict value correctly, this node should have your
configured period value instead of 0 in ZIMonSensors.cfg under the GPFSFilesetQuota
sensor. All other nodes <br>should include a period equal to 0.</font><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><br></font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>Furthermore, of course, the period for GPFSFilesetQuota should be higher
than 0. Recommended is a value of 3600 (once per hour) since the underlying
command<br>is heavier on the system than other sensors. Change the values with the
"mmperfmon config update" command, so that it is distributed
in the system.<br>E.g. "mmperfmon config update GPFSFilesetQuota.restrict=<long_gpfs_name>"
and "mmperfmon config update GPFSFilesetQuota.period=3600"</font><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><br></font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards</font><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><br></font><font size=3 face="Arial"><b><br>Greim, Anna</b></font><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><br></font><font size=3 color=#0060a0 face="Arial"><br>Software Engineer, Spectrum Scale Development<br>IBM Systems</font><p><table width=799 style="border-collapse:collapse;"><tr height=8><td width=799 colspan=4 style="border-style:none none none none;border-color:#000000;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding:0px 0px;"><div align=center><hr></div><tr height=8><td width=799 colspan=4 style="border-style:none none none none;border-color:#000000;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding:0px 0px;"><tr height=8><td width=77 style="border-style:none none none none;border-color:#000000;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding:0px 0px;"><font size=3 color=#0060a0 face="Arial">Phone:</font><td width=281 style="border-style:none none none none;border-color:#000000;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding:0px 0px;"><font size=3 color=#0060a0 face="Arial">+49-7034-2740981</font><td width=319 style="border-style:none none none none;border-color:#000000;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding:0px 0px;"><font size=3 color=#0060a0 face="Arial"> IBM
