Monitoring
- Performance monitoring
With IBM Spectrum Scale, system administrators can monitor the performance of GPFS and the communications protocols that it uses. - Monitoring system health using IBM Spectrum Scale GUI
- Monitoring system health by using the mmhealth command
The mmhealth command displays the results of the background monitoring for the health of a node and services that are hosted on the node. You can use the mmhealth command to view the health status of a whole cluster in a single view. - Monitoring events through callbacks
You can configure the callback feature to provide notifications when node and cluster events occur. Starting complex or long-running commands, or commands that involve GPFS files, might cause unexpected and undesired results, including loss of file system availability. Use the mmaddcallback command to configure the callback feature. - Monitoring capacity through GUI
You can monitor the capacity of the file system, pools, filesets, NSDs, users, and user groups in the IBM Spectrum Scale system. - Monitoring AFM and AFM DR
The following sections inform you how to monitor and troubleshoot AFM and AFM DR filesets. - GPFS SNMP support
GPFS supports the use of the SNMP protocol for monitoring the status and configuration of the GPFS cluster. Using an SNMP application, the system administrator can get a detailed view of the system and be instantly notified of important events, such as a node or disk failure. - Monitoring the IBM Spectrum Scale system by using call home
The call home feature collects files, logs, traces, and details of certain system health events from different nodes and services. - Monitoring remote cluster through GUI
The IBM Spectrum Scale GUI can monitor and manage a single cluster. There are cluster setups where multiple clusters exchange data through AFM or cross cluster mounts. To provide consolidated monitoring of multiple clusters using the IBM Spectrum Scale GUI, it is possible to exchange monitoring information between GUI nodes of different clusters. - Monitoring file audit logging
The following topics describe various ways to monitor file audit logging in IBM Spectrum Scale. Monitoring clustered watch
The following topics describe various ways to monitor clustered watch in IBM Spectrum Scale.
