UW SSEC Lustre Statistics How-To
Introduction
This guide will take the user step-by-step through the Lustre Monitoring deployment that the Space Science and Engineering Center uses for monitoring all of its Lustre file systems. The author of this guide is Andrew Wagner ([email protected]).
Building the Lustre Monitoring Deployment
Setting up an OMD Monitoring Server
The first thing that we needed for our new monitoring deployment was a monitoring server. We were already using Check_MK with Nagios on our older monitoring server but the Open Monitoring Distribution nicely ties all of the components together. The distribution is available at http://omdistro.org/ and installs via RPM.
On a newly deployed Centos6 machine, I installed the OMD-1.20 RPM. This takes care of all of the work of install Nagios, Check_MK, PNP4Nagios, etc.
After installation, I created the new OMD monitoring site:
omd create ssec
This creates a new site that runs its own stack of Apache, Nagios, Check_MK and everything else in the OMD distribution. Now we can start the site:
omd start ssec
