Hi,

For those of you who are using Prometheus.

I have updated my opensource tool (HMC performance metrics exporter) to allow Prometheus to scrape metrics data.

More info: https://github.com/mnellemann/hmci

Feedback always welcome :)

Hello Mark,

thanks a lot. I just found your tool. It is great and fulfill my requirements perfectly to write these data to Prometheus.

I installed the rpm now on SLES 15, because I couldn't download the container image. It seems to be user / password protected.
Just one question: Why are there influxdb datasources in the Prometheus dashboards for Grafana?

Many thanks again, great work.
Is there a list with datapoints like for nextractplus? That would help building my own dashboards.

kind regards

Hi Joerg,

Glad to hear it's useful for you :)

The container image was created by a collegue and I'm not sure why it requires authentication. I'll ask and see if we can fix it.

It's a mistake with the InfluxDB datasource in the in Prometheus dashboards. I haven't noticed that before now, but probably due to the fact that i created the InfluxDB dashboards long time ago and modified (a copy) for Prometheus. I will cleanup for next release.

I don't have a list of datapoints, but the endpoint for Prometheus ( http://host-with-hmci:9040 ) will give you a list/overview of available metrics.

Hi Mark,

thanks for answering that quick.
After checking the datapoints, I have one further question. Does hmci collect all available data? It seems there are some data missing, or I couldn't find them until now, e.g. the LPAR partition ID.

have a great day.

Kind regards

Hi Joerg,

There are some data that can't be represented for Prometheus (at least with the Prometheus SDK I'm using), which are available with InfluxDB. This is ex. LPAR name, OS and version. Basically anything not a number.

Best regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

thanks for the explanation. That's a bit unsightly. I have to check if we would really need some of the missing data.
But the partition ID is a number, isn't it? Or does it show up as string?
