[Collectl-interest] collectl not running as expected in daemon mode

[Matt B. <ia...@gm...>]

Hello,

We are just diving into using collectl to monitor out lustre filesystems
and compute nodes.  For the time being we just have our lustre data going
into graphite collector on an vmware VM.  It is working well and has
already helped us identify some problems with our filesystems.

I would like to start collecting slab summary info
(/slab,InUse,Avail,SizeK,Number,UsedK,TotalK,Change,Pct)  for our mds
servers and send this to graphite but it is not working as I expect.

We are running collectl as a service using this for our /etc/collectl.conf

DaemonCommands = -f /var/log/collectl -P -sy --export graphite,172.23.0.53
-r00:00,7 -m -F60 -s+YX

This does not populate slab info in our  graphite server.  the command
collectl -sy works

mds1:~ # collectl -sy
waiting for 60 second sample...

# SLAB SUMMARY
#<------------Objects------------><--------Slab
Allocation-------><--Caches--->
#  InUse   Bytes    Alloc   Bytes   InUse   Bytes   Total   Bytes  InUse

What should I put in /etc/collectl.conf to gather this information in
addition to what I am already grabbing?

mds1:~ # collectl -v

Thank you and thanks for the software,  very useful.
