Thank you Andy and Max for your replies, which have put me on the right track.

I've tried to implent the perf directive using the supplied cms_monPerf utility by sticking at the end of our config:
if exec cmsd
# call preinstall script every minute
cms.perf int 1m pgm /usr/share/xrootd/utils/cms_monPerf 60
fi

Within the logs however I see a config warning I do not understand at all:
"
=====> cms.perf int 1m pgm /usr/share/xrootd/utils/cms_monPerf 60 
The following paths are available to the redirector:
w  /cephfs/grid
 
Config warning: metrics supplier specified without any scheduling metrics!
------ [log in to unmask] phase 1 server initialization completed.
"

And it does not appear that metrics are being fed to our manager host (although cms_monPerf is running on our servers). Looking in the logs we only have one instance of metric information arriving in our manager's cmsd.log, lines like:
230120 14:04:26 259335 Node: stor015.hec.lancs.ac.uk load=30; cpu=6 net=99 inq=45 mem=3 pag=0 dsk=2147483647 utl=74 shr=[100 26 0] ref=[10906 1721]

These metrics were delivered once, about 10 minutes after the servers were restarted and we've not seen any mentions in the logs since. I'm not sure if this is a data point or just noise though. Data is still flowing to the xrootd servers though, in the round-robin fashion.

My apologies if I'm missing something as equally straightforward as with my original mail, but I'd appreciate any pointers.

Thanks again, and have a good weekend all,
Matt
