Hi Brian I have a couple of pointers:
- We have been running mmpmon for a while now across multiple clusters, sticking the data in external database for analysis. This has been working pretty well, but we are transitioning to (below) - SS 4.1 and later have built in zimon for collecting a wealth of performance data - this feeds into the built in GUI. But, there is bridge tools that IBM has built internally and keeps promising to release (I talked about it at the last SS user group meeting at Argonne) that allows use of Grafana with the zimon data. This is working well for us. Let me know if you want to discuss details and I will be happy to share my experiences and pointers in looking at the performance data.

I am looking for ways to monitor filesystem performance to uncover network bottlenecks or job usage patterns affecting performance. I received this info below from an IBM person. Does anyone have examples of aggregating mmperfmon data? Is anyone doing something different? "mmpmon does not currently aggregate cluster-wide data. As of SS 4.1.x you can look at "mmperfmon query" as well, but it also primarily only provides node specific data. The tools are built to script performance data but there aren't any current scripts available for you to use within SS (except for what might be on the SS wiki page). It would likely be something you guys would need to build, that's what other clients have done." Thank you, Brian Marshall Virginia Tech - Advanced Research Computing
