Job Diagnostics

An Inspect icon for the job Task ID is displayed for all jobs above the final column. Clicking this icon retrieves the current diagnostic information for that job. This diagnostic information corresponds to the data found in the job spool files in the jobs spool directory. A progress bar indicates the progress of this process. When the Done button appears, clicking it leads to a page with the status information displayed for the chosen job as in the following figure.

Figure 1-13 Job Diagnostic Details

events for view status


Note - You can only obtain job diagnostic information if the job is running on a compute host that was deployed by GEMM. If the host on which the job is running was not deployed by GEMM, then clicking the Inspect icon results in an error message; clicking Done leads back to the Utilization view.


The Job Diagnostic details given in these tables include:

  • addgrpid

  • config

  • environment

  • error

  • exit status

  • job_pid

  • pe_hostfile

  • pid

  • trace

    Interpreting the Tables

    Each table corresponds to a different file from the job spool directory. For more information on the information in the job spool directory, see the N1 Grid Engine 6 Administration manual.

    Clicking the back button of the addgrpid table returns you to the Utilization view.


    Note - If a job has already completed by the time you click the Inspect button, or if the job completes during the information retrieval process, the information is lost and cannot be displayed. In this case, the progress bar will indicate a failure and clicking on the Done button leads back to the Utilization view.


Using the Allocation View

Clicking the Allocation button switches to the Allocation view of the jobs.

Figure 1-14 Jobs Allocation View

jobs allocation view

In this view, information is presented for all jobs and the columns provide details for the:

  • Job state, indicated by a colored circle and icon

  • Job ID

  • Job name

  • Total number of tickets for the job

  • Number of override tickets

  • Number of functional tickets

  • Number of share tree tickets

  • POSIX priority

  • Total urgency for the job

  • Resource contribution to the urgency

  • Deadline contribution to the urgency

  • Waiting time contribution to the urgency

    The description of the icons for the job state on the Overview page apply here also, except that no letters are shown. The pagination of the table, and the sorting based upon different columns all apply similarly to the Allocation View.

    For more information on the meaning of each column, see the N1 Grid Engine Administration manual.

Filtering Jobs

In each of the three views Overview, Utilization, and Allocation, the Filter option appears below the job table.

Figure 1-15 Filter Dialog

filter dialog

You use the filter to limit the jobs displayed to those matching a specified search condition. The filter lets you choose a column on which to filter, a search type to use, and a value on which to search.

You select the column and search type from a drop-down table, while you type the value into a text entry box. The drop-down table for column changes with each view depending on which columns are being displayed. The type of search can be one of: equals, not equals, less than, less than or equal to, greater than, and greater than or equal to.

You can define up to three filters at one time; the effects of multiple filters are combined together to provide the final result. After you set up the desired filter, click the Filter button to redisplay the current view with the filter applied. Pagination is still active and will maintain the filter across pages . Clicking the Clear button restores the unfiltered view.

The following figure shows you how a sorted jobs utilization page would look.

Note - When you choose the Job State as a search column, the search value is compared against the job status letter code as displayed in the Overview view, even though these letters are not displayed for the Utilization and Allocation view.
