[gpfsug-discuss] Setting up IBM Spectrum Scale performance monitoring bridge for Grafana

[Chakravarthy Girda]

Hello Team,

 This is Chakri from Washu at STL. Thank you for the great opportunity
to join this group. I am trying to setup performance monitoring for our
GPFS cluster. As part of the project configured pmcollector and
pmsensors on our GPFS cluster.

1. Created a 'spectrumscale' data-source bridge on our grafana ( NOT SET
TO DEFAULT )

2. Created a new dash-board by importing the pre-built dashboard.

Here is the issue.
              I don't get any graph updates if I don't set
"spectrumscale" as DEFAULT data-source but that is breaking rest of the
graphs ( we have ton of dashboards). So I had to uncheck the
"spectrumscale" as default data-source.

  If I go and set the "data-source" manually to "spectrumscale" on the
pre-built dashboard graphs. I see the wheel spinning but no updates. Any
ideas?


Thank you
Chakri
