Lustre Input Plugin

The Lustre® file system is an open-source, parallel file system that supports many requirements of leadership class HPC simulation environments.

This plugin monitors the Lustre file system using its entries in the proc filesystem.

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration
