Create the monitoring lines by using these variables.
Native HP Insight CMU lines and collectl lines can be mixed in the
ActionAndAlertFile.txt file.
For more information about using and fine tuning collectl, see http://collectl.sourceforge.net/.
6.5.6.3 Installing and configuring colplot for plotting collectl data
IMPORTANT: Do not to use this option for HP Insight CMU diskless configurations.
1. On the HP Insight CMU administration server, create an NFS export a directory to store
collectl data from compute nodes:
# mkdir /var/log/collectl
# vi /etc/exports
2. Add the following line:
/var/log/collectl *(rw,sync,no_all_squash,no_root_squash)
3. Refresh exports:
# exportfs -r
4. Install the collectl-utils package from the HP Insight CMU CDROM in tools/
collectl:
NOTE: In order to install collectl-utils you must install the gnuplot rpm.
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
# cd /mnt/tools/collectl
# rpm -ivh collectl-utils-x.x-x.noarch.rpm

creating /etc/httpd/conf.d/colplot.conf
creating /var/www/html/colplot
5. Copy colplot HTML files to the HP Insight CMU web directory. Those files are located in
different directories depending on whether your HP Insight CMU administration server runs a
Red Hat or SUSE distribution.
• For Red Hat:
# cp -a /var/www/html/colplot /opt/cmu/www/colplot
