Importing the sample Kibana dashboard

Beginning with Fix Pack 9, a sample Kibana dashboard is provided as part of the installation of IBM Spectrum LSF Explorer.

About this task

The sample Kibana dashboard consists of three graphs:
  • Cluster status: Shows the number of hosts available to lim and its LSF status on a hourly basis.
  • Cluster Resource Utilization: Shows the resource utilization (ut, memory, slot) as a percentage of the cluster. The formula is: sum (run_slots)/sum(max_slots) of all detected hosts per sample point.
  • Job throughput: Based on accounting data, shows the number of jobs in 10 minutes for submitted/started/finished. The default shows the last 24 hours.
