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

[Oesterlin, Robert]

Hi Chakri

If you’re getting the ‘ole “spinning wheel” on your dashboard, then it’s one of two things:

1) The Grafana bridge is not running
2) The dashboard is requesting a metric that isn’t available.

Assuming that you’ve verified that the pmcollector/pmsensor setup is work right in your cluster, I’d then start looking at the log files for the Grafana Bridge and the pmcollector to see if you can determine if either is producing an error - like the metric wasn’t found. The other thing to try is setup a small test graph with a known metric being collected by you pmsensor configuration, rather than try one of Helene’s default dashboards, which are fairly complex.

Drop me a note directly if you need to.
