Integrating 
cloud services
metrics with the
performance monitoring tool
This topic describes the procedure for integrating cloud services
server nodes with the performance monitoring tool.
Performance monitoring collector (pmcollector) and sensor (pmsensors) services are
installed under /opt/IBM/zimon.
Note: You must install the sensors on all the
cloud service nodes, but you need to
install the collectors on any one of the GPFS™
nodes.
cloud service nodes, but you need to
install the collectors on any one of the GPFS™
nodes.Two types of configurations are possible for the performance monitoring tool integration:
For more information on each of these methods, see Configuring the performance monitoring tool.- GPFS-based configuration (configuration by using GPFS commands).
- File-based configuration (manual configuration of the sensor files as described here)
