energy usage reporting (EAS) not working on intel x86_64 servers

During the testing of EAS on my Dell/HPE hardwares running Linux/CentOS - I figured out that various features in EAS is not really working on these hardwares and they may be only designed for IBM Hardware like Power Systems. Worked with Support on case mentioned above, tried some workarounds to make job energy usage reporting work seamlessly on non-IBM h/ws but it did not work

    The feature you are referring to was something that was specifically implemented for iDataplex hardware and relied on additional functionality in a top of rack card. This feature is effectively obsolete.

    A generic capability was added in LSF 10 SP4 which logs power metrics over time to elasticsearch/LSF Explorer.

    LSF_QUERY_ES_SERVERS=ip:port
    LSF_ENABLE_BEAT_SERVICE="energy"
    LSF_QUERY_ES_FUNCTIONS ="energy"

    This then provides job level energy reporting:

    $bjobs -l
    ...
    ENERGY USAGE:
    163209.00 Joule/ 0.0453 kWh

    $ bjobs -o energy 1933
    ENERGY
    163209.00 Joule
