Hi I am really looking forward to the 4.2.2 where I hopefully can adjust the thresholds of alarm levels. We just as Jan-Frode have filesystems that is not growing so much and waste a large amount of disk just to keep it green is never going to happend.
Below is an example of one of our filesystems. /dev/smdb04 942T 900T 42T 96% /gpfs/smdb04 /Ola Från: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] För Stephen Ulmer Skickat: den 27 oktober 2016 02:49 Till: gpfsug main discussion list <[email protected]> Ämne: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] filesystem thresholds in gui alerting It seems prudent to note here that a file system that reports 100% full can have quite a bit of free space. Take for example a 10TB file system that is no longer written to — no one wants to use 100GB just to make the alert color green. This gets silly very quickly at even “medium” sizes... What would be really cool would be to decide how much reserved space you want, look at the velocity[1] with which the filesystem is filling, and then alert when the time until left until full is less than an operations shift (or something useful). Maybe that is just silly. Hey, Jan-Frode, can you mount the no-more-data file systems read only? Maybe not alerting on the full-ness of read only filesystems is easier and more sane? I mean, they can’t fill up any more.

With 4.2.2 the system health monitoring will have thresholds set and monitored via ZIMON and the system health component will provide events.With 4.2.2 those can be changed with an mm command. In general it is not a good idea to let a filesystem get loaded 100%. It could be, if this is done with the filesystem used by the system to store some configuration data, that the system can run into an error (usually this is the filesystem we call gpfs0). I suggest you get the 4.2.2 version which will GA quite soon. I have to apologize that I'm not allowed to talk about GA dates. If you want to get this feature earlier you may contact IBM and ask for participation on the beta program which starts very soon but the beta code is usually limited to non productive systems. As said , ask your IBM contact for the 4.2.2 GA update ( hopefully GA is soon) and you can get this feature you are looking for.

F.ex. we have some filesystems that are very full, but won't be getting any more data added.. we'd like to turn off monitoring of these, are raise the threshold to allow them to be ~100% full. -jf_______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org<http://spectrumscale.org> http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss _______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org<http://spectrumscale.org> http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss
