Hello, Michael

There is a logfile parser script in the attachment, which was written by 
Eric.

This script is very simple, but it should help you understand how we 
retrieve time step information from lustre debug log. On the server 
side, if you enable rpc_trace log, whenever the request arrive/start 
being processed/end of processing, there will be corresponding records 
being written into the debug log. Basically, you can get all the time 
step information from these records (actually only two of these records 
would be enough).


a. 
00000100:00100000:0.0:1272313858.472660:0:31581:0:(service.c:1625:ptlrpc_server_handle_request()) 
Handling RPC pname:cluuid+ref:pid:xid:nid:opc 
ll_mgs_00:7d4fb15c-1b1c-295f-e466-ea7d77089b52+10:4055:x1334115493386242:12345-0 at lo:400

This record means the req will being handled, so you can get the start 
time stamp(1272313858.472660) operation type (opc: 400, ping), xid 
(1334115493386242), client nid(12345-0 at lo) and so on.

b. 
00000100:00100000:0.0:1272313858.472687:0:31581:0:(service.c:1672:ptlrpc_server_handle_request()) 
Handled RPC pname:cluuid+ref:pid:xid:nid:opc 
ll_mgs_00:7d4fb15c-1b1c-295f-e466-ea7d77089b52+9:4055:x1334115493386242:12345-0 at lo:400 
Request procesed in 45us (77us total) trans 0 rc 0/0

This record means the req is already being handled, so you can get the 
end time stamp(1272313858.472687), operation type (opc: 400, ping), xid 
(1334115493386242), client nid(12345-0 at lo) and so no.

Note: (77us total) means how long it takes from the request arriving to 
the end of processing. so you can also get the request arriving time 
stamp here by (1272313858 - 77 = 1272312781).


So with these information you can draw the graph Eric mentioned in his 
email. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks
