Configuring Grid Collectors

Introduction

The GRID Extension offers plug-ins and connectors for metering distributed grid computing environments, such as LSF (Load Sharing Facility), PBS Professional, OpenPBS, Sun Grid Engine, and TORQUE (Terascale Open-source Resource and Queue Manager). Use ComputeAnalyzer GRID to track issues, such as causes of failed and pending jobs, for improved grid analysis.

Requirements

• An Open iT Core Client connected to an Open iT Core Server or a coexistent Open iT Core setup
• Activated SystemAnalyzer collection and grid collectors

Configuring Grid Engine Directories

• Configuring LSF Batch Logs Directory
• Configuring PBS Accounting Logs Directory
• Configuring Sun Grid Engine Root Directory

Configuring LSF bjobs Path

1. In the Open iT client, open collect_system_lsf.oconf in the scheduler directory, which is by default in /var/opt/openit/etc/scheduler.

2. Locate and set the value of root.scheduler.jobs.collect_lsf.operations.arguments to the path of the LSF batch jobs (bjobs) executable.

   collect_system_lsf.oconf

   arguments
   {
       type=string
       value=--bjobs /path/to/lsf/bin/dir/bjobs
   }

3. Save the changes.
