[gpfsug-discuss] Monitoring non gpfs cluster nodes using pmsensors

Hello Iban,

the pmsensor and pmcollector packages together with the GUI dashboard and
statistics pages are not designed to be a general monitoring solution.
For example. in many places we are filtering for GPFS nodes that are known
to be cluster members and  we try to match
host names to GPFS node names. This causes the lack of nodes in GUI charts
you are experiencing.
 In addition. the CLI based setup and management of the sensors assume that
sensor nodes are cluster nodes.

We are not intending to open up the internal management and views for data
outside the cluster in the futute.-
The requirements to provide plotting, filtering, aggregation and
calculation in a general plotting environment can be very diverse and we
may not be able to handle this.
So while we are flattered by the request to use our charting capabilities
as a general solution, we propose to use tools like grafana as more general
solution.

Please note that the GUI charts and dashboards have URLs that allow them to
be hyperlinked, so you could also combine other web based charting tools
together with the GUI based charts.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

Dear,
    The gpfsgui dashboard show us most part of relevant information for
cluster management. Avoiding to install other plot utilities (like graphana
for example), we want to explore the possibility to use this packages to
harvest and plot this information, in order to centralize the graph
management in one only place. We see this information arrives to the
gpfsgui node (from non gpfs cluster nodes), but we can't show the plots.
        Is there any way to use the pmsensor and pmcollector packages to
monitorice / plot non gpfs cluster nodes using the gpfsgui dashboard ?
Regards, I
