So, from what I've seen in the MIB, the current SNMP module mainly report version numbers and free space information. I think it would also be useful to get "activity metrics", the same kind of information which is in /proc/fs/lustre/llite/*/stats on clients (so we can see reads/writes and fs operations rates), in /proc/fs/lustre/obdfilter/*/stats on OSSes and in /proc/fs/lustre/mds/*/stats on MDSes. Actually, all the /proc/fs/lustre/*/**/stats could be useful, but I guess what precise metric is the most useful heavily depends on what you want to see. :) Cheers, -- Kilian _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
