Using IBM Spectrum Scale performance monitoring bridge with Grafana
The IBM Spectrum Scale™ performance monitoring bridge is a stand-alone Python application, which uses Grafana to display performance data. Grafana is an open source tool for visualizing time series and application metrics. It provides a powerful platform to create, explore, and share dashboards and data. The IBM Spectrum Scale performance monitoring bridge emulates an openTSDB API, which is used by Grafana to set up and populate the graphs. The metadata received from IBM Spectrum Scale is used to create the Grafana graphs, and the data from IBM Spectrum Scale is used to populate these graphs.
