GPFS-based configuration

This topic describes the procedure for integrating cloud service metrics with the performance monitoring tool by using GPFS-based configuration.

1. On the Cloud services nodes, copy the following files from /opt/ibm/MCStore/config folder to /opt/IBM/zimon folder:
   • TCTDebugDbStats
   • TCTDebugLweDestroyStats
   • TCTFsetGpfsConnectorStats
   • TCTFsetIcstoreStats
   • TCTFsGpfsConnectorStats
   • TCTFsIcstoreStats
2. Register the sensor in the GPFS configuration by storing the following snippet in the MCStore-sensor-definition.cfg file:

   sensors=   
   {
       # Transparent cloud
   tiering statistics
       name = "TCTDebugDbStats"
       period = 10
       type = "Generic"
      },
   
      {
        #Transparent cloud
   tiering statistics
        name = "TCTDebugLweDestroyStats"
        period = 10
        type = "Generic"
      },
   
     {
       #Transparent cloud
   tiering statistics
       name = "TCTFsetGpfsConnectorStats"
       period = 10
       type = "Generic"
     },
   {
       #Transparent cloud
   tiering statistics
       name = "TCTFsetIcstoreStats"
       period = 10
       type = "Generic"
     },
   
     {
        #Transparent cloud
   tiering statistics
        name = "TCTFsGpfsConnectorStats"
        period = 10
        type = "Generic"
      },
   
     {
       #Transparent cloud
   tiering statistics
       name = "TCTFsIcstoreStats"
       period = 10
       type = "Generic"
     }

3. Run this command:

   prompt# mmperfmon config add --sensors MCStore-sensor-definition.cfg      

   Note: The sensor definition file can list multiple sensors separated by commas (,).
