Are there any screenshots/FAQs? I looked at the package, and the depandancy list is long. As most of my work is remote, does the GUI run remotely over an SSH tunnel? Are there any similar console/text-based utilities w/ a shorter dependency list and lighter weight for remote access? Thanks, Ch

Hi Chris, I think Herb is reporting for jury duty today so I'll speak up and let him follow up later if I missed anything. There are text clients (ltop and lstat). I haven't tried running the GUI remotely and tunneling the X session, or running the client locally and tunneling mysql protocol, bu

Hi Jim, Out of curiosity (and bear with me if this is a stupid question), do you know if anyone's integrated LMT with Ganglia? The clusters we have that use Lustre are all ROCKS-based, which uses Ganglia for monitoring ... I'm not familiar with Cerebro, so I'm not sure how you're using it, but it

Hi Jim, Hmmm, good to know ... does LMT support shell call-outs? If so, it would be easy enough to have it populate a Ganglia receptor using gmetric (using the older pre-3.1.x framework) ... not sure about recording from Ganglia to mysql, although it would record historical data using rrdtool. K

Hi Klaus, Nobody's done that yet that I know of, but it would seem doable. Cerebro is similar to ganglia in that it uses multicast with listeners and talkers. You would need machinery to get lustre proc values into ganglia on the lustre servers (the talkers), and then from ganglia to the mysql

If the goal is to get lustre data into ganglia and use existing mechanisms to look at the data, LMT is probably not the right path. But if you wanted to set up LMT and just replace the back-end data collection mechanism, that is probably doable. I'm afraid my knowledge of ganglia falls short he

Klaus, As the LMT backend is currently a set of Cerebro modules, it does not have to ability to support callouts on its own. Cerebro supports the callouts that you would be looking for with cerebro-stat. As Jim mentioned you need the listener (monitor module), to populate the mysql database if yo
