6.1.6 ExaWatcher
ExaWatcher collects very detailed system statistics, primarily focused on the operating system and network interfaces.
ExaWatcher runs separately on each server and collects server and
network-related data using operating system tools and utilities, such as
iostat
, vmstat
, mpstat
,
top
. It also collects storage server statistics using
cellsrvstat
.
The information is very granular, with most operating system statistics
collected at 5-second intervals. To extract statistics from ExaWatcher for analysis, you
can use the GetExaWatcherResults.sh
script. The output from
GetExaWatcherResults.sh
also include charts for a small subset of
key statistics.
ExaWatcher is typically used for detailed debugging. Consequently, it is recommended to keep baselines of ExaWatcher data for comparison purposes.
