[Orca-users] TSM cartridge tape or HBA metrics inSEToolkit/Orcallator

[Cho, John]

I believe I see tape stats --but how do I determine the data sources to
use so I can put it in the orcallator.cfg file -- apparently the cfg
file doesn't have that example... Maybe a better question is does anyone
have any documentation on how best to customize your graphs AND where
can I find the list of data metrics that RRD processs to make the
graphs?  That must be defined somewhere?
 
Thanks.
John

Jon,

 

Do you mean tape device statistics similar to disk statistics? If yes,
then it is already included in orcallator.se (I wrote the code to
support it a year or so ago).

 

For the HBA specific metrics, I had done some work over a year ago, but
never had the time to finish it. I used the SNIA API and the ability of
SE to include external libraries to get information from the HBAs. If
you are interested, I can dig out my proof of concept work. Just
curious, what HBAs do you use? The reason I am asking is that the
information that you can get depends on the HBA driver and what is
implemented by the vendor. HBAs do not report their stuff to the kernel,
so you have to go through the driver.

 

  -Dmitry.

Has anybody tried to get TSM Cartidge tape driver (/dev/rmt/4mt kind of
names) or HBA specific metrics into SEToolkit/Orca?
