Just depends on how your problem is detected… is it in a log? Is it found by running a command (.e.g mm*)? Is it discovered in `ps` output? Is your scheduler failing jobs?
We have ongoing monitoring of most of these types of problem detection points and an automated process to capture a trace could be added to trigger upon detection depending on how the problem is detected… -B From: gpfsug-discuss-boun...@spectrumscale.org [mailto:gpfsug-discuss-boun...@spectrumscale.org] On Behalf Of Oesterlin, Robert Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2017 3:12 PM To: gpfsug main discussion list <gpfsug-discuss@spectrumscale.org> Subject: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] Potential problems - leaving trace enabled in over-write mode? I’ve been told that V70o0 unified nodes (GPFS under the covers) run with tracing enabled all the time.. but I agree with you Brian on the potential impacts. But when you must catch a trace for a problem that occurs once every few weeks – how else would I do it?

I believe IBM recommends never running clusters with continuous tracing. ________________________________ Note: This email is for the confidential use of the named addressee(s) only and may contain proprietary, confidential or privileged information.
