Hi All

I am using remote target to collect information from a linux centos 8 system . I am selecting system profiler and generating report . The collection is successful , CPU , DRAM , Network all are showing nearly all metrices but for Disks , sda sdb , sdd etc , its only showing throughput . Also I see some warnings while logs collection and report generation . Attaching the screen captures for the same . please guide me and let me know if more info needed .

Checking DPC++ application as prerequisite for GPU analyses: Fail
Unable to run DPC++ application on GPU connected to this system. If you are using an Intel GPU and want to verify profiling support for DPC++ applications, check these requirements:
* Install Intel(R) GPU driver.
* Install Intel(R) Level Zero GPU runtime.
* Install Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++ Runtime and set the environment.

The check observed a product failure on your system.
Review errors in the output above to fix a problem or contact Intel technical support.

The system is ready for the following analyses:
* Performance Snapshot
* Hotspots and Threading with user-mode sampling

The following analyses have failed on the system:
* Hotspots with HW event-based sampling, HPC Performance Characterization, etc.
* Microarchitecture Exploration
* Memory Access

Hi Karan,

After reproducing what you see and looking at the collection results, I observed that there is no activity reported for disks sdb and sdd. There is some activity collected for disk sda and the graphs in the Disk - Device view (from the top right drop down menu) reflect that activity. Do you know if your workload is using those disks? All activity related to disks may be taking place in sda and this is why no information is displayed for sdb and sdd. However, I'm investigating why there's no information displayed for IOPS even for sda.

Hey Mariana,

 

So my real issue is even you see disk activity in sda , there is no metrics related to IOPS , latency , blk size etc for sda .

Hi Karan,

I got reply from our developers:

"The information reported as missing in this case is expected behavior and this is not a bug."

Thanks!
