<span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Hello Robert,</span></span> All,</span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0; display:block; text-align:start;"><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">I don't know if this is the best way, but what we currently use at the Humbold University is the following:</span></span></span>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0; display:block; text-align:start;"><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">- Prometheus</span></span></span> <span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">- The lustrefs_exporter from Whamcloud ( </span></span><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;"><a href="https://github.com/whamcloud/lustrefs-exporter">https://github.com/whamcloud/lustrefs-exporter</a></span></span><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;"> )</span></span></span>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">- node exporter.</span></span></span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">- Grafana</span></span>:</span>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">There are a number of grafana dashboards that can visualise the data, however as they are old, quite a few fields need updating and/or adjusting to display desired data.</span></span></span>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">I don't have a way of definitively verifying the numbers or reports, but the tools seem to "make sense" and work for our use case.</span></span></span>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">I'm sure a "grafana wizard" could use them for inspiration to create much better dashboards than I managed to get working.</span></span></span>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">On the plus side, I must say that the Grafana and Prometheus combination is comparatively self-explanatory compared to some other monitoring setups.</span></span></span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">It may however be that you need more granularity than this solution can offer.</span></span><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">For example I don't think the setup can attribute IOPS to specific jobs.</span></span></span>
<br>
<br><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Kind regards</span></span></span>
