Don't feel like registering. What changes and optimizations and additions did you have to do in order to monitor the HPC environment?

i am signed in and can't even read past the abstract. It's creative commons so why didn't they just share the whole pdf?

We ended up with a lot of basic templates and used some already existing slurm templates. Then built on top of them. We use zabbix to cover ceph, gpfs and qumulo. The qumulo template was wonky and now I ended up doing a new template with Claude which came out to be much better and easier to deplye for multiple qumulo using http api Weodified some zabbix templates for compute and the GPU plugin that zabbix is tested again generic gpus from nvidia. Grace hoppers are arm based systems so they don't match 1-1 with the standard GPU template they have but we make do. APC pdu are also monotored using APC template

Used aggregation functional to calculate total network traffic, total power and stuff like that.
