I added a new functionality allowing to add custom tags on partitions imported from NMON or HMC. In this post, I will explain how to implement it and what you can do with it.

I modified my nmon2influxdb tool to import HMC Performance and Capacity Monitoring(PCM) data in InfluxDB.

This post is to present the little library I made to create grafana dashboards from my tool nom2influxdb.

I developed this tool because I didn’t find anything allowing me to analyze systems with a lot of disks. By a lot, I means above 150 hdisks on AIX. I meet a lot of customers which have systems with a lot more disks. And it was always bothering me to not be able to perform a good disk performance analysis on their systems.

I will show you what the tool can do with a vio server with 2464 hdisks and 616 hdiskpowers.

In this post, I will describe how to install and run nmon2influxdb on Windows. I will install docker-toolbox to setup an environment where InfluxDB and Grafana are available for my tool.
