Using the Overview View

The Overview view shows an overall summary of the jobs.

Figure 1-10 Jobs Overview Page

jobs overview page

The columns in this table provide the:

  • Job state, indicated by one or more letters plus a colored circle and icon

  • Job ID

  • Job name

  • User who submitted the job

  • Project under which the job was submitted

  • Department of the submitter

  • Priority of the job

  • Job time, either the time spent pending, or for running jobs the time spent running

  • Job task ID; for pending jobs, all task IDs are grouped together

Interpreting the Data

The icon scheme for the job state is:

  • A Gray Icon means the job is pending

  • A Green Icon means the job is running

  • A Yellow icon indicates the job is suspended

  • A Red Icon indicates that the job is in an error state

    The letters shown for the job state are the same letters used by N1 Grid Engine to indicate the job state when you run the qstat command. For more information, see the N1 Grid Engine Administration manual.

Sorting Rows

Jobs display ten rows at a time. You can see the entire list by using the pagination controls at the bottom of the table. By default, rows are displayed numerically by job ID, but you can use any column whose header is white to change the ordering of the rows. Clicking on a column header sorts the rows according to the values in that column. Clicking again on the column header reverses the sort. The sorting is preserved across pages if you click on a pagination button.

Job Details

Clicking the Inspect icon next to the ID of each job retrieves details about the job. A progress bar indicates the progress of this process. When the Done button appears, clicking it leads to a page with the details displayed for the chosen job. These details appear in three tables.

Figure 1-11 Job Details Page

job details page
  • The first table shows the job details, including various properties related to the jobs environment, resource requests, submit options, and so forth.

  • The second table shows the current resource utilization for that job. If this information is not available, for example, because the job started too recently or the job is still pending, then this table is empty. For jobs with multiple tasks, the usage of each task appears on a separate line.

  • The third table shows the scheduling information for that job.

    The information displayed in these three tables corresponds directly to the output from the N1 Grid Engine 6 qstat -j command. For more information on job details, see the N1 Grid Engine 6 Administration manual.

    Clicking the Back button of the first table returns you to the Overview page.

Using the Utilization View

You access the Utilization view of the job by clicking the Utilization button on the Jobs page.

Figure 1-12 Jobs Utilization View

Unlike the Overview view, only running and suspended jobs appear. In the Utilization view, the columns are the:

  • Job state, indicated by a colored circle and icon

  • Job ID

  • Job Name

  • Queue instance where the job is running

  • CPU utilization of the job

  • Memory utilization of the job

  • Calculated share

  • Run time

  • Normalized Ticket priority

  • Normalized Urgency priority

  • Normalized POSIX priority

  • Job task ID; tasks belonging to the same job are never grouped


    Note - If the CPU usage or memory usage values are blank, the usage information for that job has not yet been reported. Check back at a later time to see if the usage is then reported.


    The description for the Overview page regarding the meaning of the icons for the job state is the same for this view, except that no letters are shown. The pagination of the table and the sorting based upon different columns all apply similarly to the Utilization View.
