I've publicly released nearly everything you need to make these dashboards. The only thing you need is a BeeGFS cluster, the rest is easy.

Step 1: Download/Install beegfstop

That's easy, it's a shell script. Just download it and put it in /usr/bin (if you're too lazy to say "make" in the redhat dir to make an RPM or you're using a non-RH based Linux distro)

Step 2: Install the daemons

Clone this repo: github.com/FrauBSD/beegfs…
say "make install" in the top-level directory

or say "make" in the redhat directory to make an RPM

Step 3: Configure where your database lives

vi /etc/beegfs_*stats.conf # configure urls to your InfluxDB

Step 4: Create the databases on your InfluxDB

influx -execute 'create database beegfs_stats'
influx -execute 'create database beegfs_mstats'

Step 5: Start daemons

service beegfs_clientstatsd start
service beegfs_clientmstatsd start
service beegfs_userstatsd start
service beegfs_usermstatsd start
service beegfs_serverstatsd start
service beegfs_servermstatsd start
service beegfs_stats start
service beegfs_mstats start

Step 6: Import the Grafana dashboards

Step 7: Configure imported Grafana dashboards

You need to change the "host" variable in the dashboard template variables to match the hostname of the machine where the daemons are running

Step 8: Sit back and relax

If someone abuses the cluster, you can take screenshots and pummel them with irrefutable graphic evidence

For example, look at this jerk host, just monopolizing all that I/O

(ASIDE: It's actually a backup process)
