Missing timeseries data and graph in .ODS file #29

Closed Crash-Edwards closed 5 years ago

Crash-Edwards commented 5 years ago

Hi,

We are having an issue where the .ods file is missing the Long Term Performance Stability Graph and the Timeseries tab has the computer information but is missing all the IOPS numbers. Everything else is working.

We are Running the test on Windows Server 2016 with PowerShell 5.1 and FIO 3.12.
Any help would be appreciated.

Howdy,

You'll need to look at the logs that are generated in the details/ subdirectory. Most likely FIO is not running for some reason on that specific test or the logger is not able to grab IOPS from the Windows subsystem (weird perfmon permissions or something?).

If the data is all public, you can attach a ZIP here and I can look if there's something obvious. But if it's proprietary or confidential, of course, please don't as anyone can see these messages.

Thx -EFP3

EFP3, Actually the files TestRand_w30_bs4096_threads256_iodepth1_PhysicalDrive5.out, TestRand_w30_bs4096_threads256_iodepth1_PhysicalDrive5.out.exc.read.csv and TestRand_w30_bs4096_threads256_iodepth1_PhysicalDrive5.out.exc.write.csv all exist in the directory and have data in them.

However the ezfio_timeseries_960GB_8cores_3193MHZ_PhysicalDrive5_servername_date.csv has no IOPS data in it.

Thanks Crash

There should be a .log/.out file there for the timeseries as well (although w/Windows I think that sometimes some errors may end up in the powershell console). W/o that or a full zip I can't really point you to anything, sorry.

Are you talking about the iostat_ezfio_date_time file?

earlephilhower commented 5 years ago

iostat file plus the .out associated with it. They are meant to capture the raw FIO output, while the CSVs are just the post-processed versions of FIO output or perfmon monitors.

Crash-Edwards commented 5 years ago

You are correct the iostat file is missing and was never created.

EFP3, Just to let you know this seems to be a user error (me) where the PerfMon logging and alert service was disabled. After setting it to automatic the issue was resolved.

Thanks for all your help!

Crash-Edwards commented 5 years ago

Resolved by setting the PerfMon alert and logging service to automatic.

Great, thanks. If someone else has the same problem we've got one more thing to check, now!
