HTCAnalyze

Search through HTCondor user log files to extract information, identify patterns, and build time-based graphs of resource utilization.

Installation

NOTE: HTCAnalyze depends on the htcondor Python module, which currently only runs on Linux.

This software can be installed directly from GitHub.

pip install git+https://github.com/psyinfra/HTCAnalyze.git

As a general recommendation, we encourage installing HTCAnalyze in a virtual environment. If you are not already familiar with Python virtual environments, we highly recommend that you read up on them.

Configuration File

A configuration file (htcanalyze.conf) can be used to control the default behavior. This is especially useful for system administrators who wish to tune the warning and error thresholds to their site requirements.

It can also be passed directly as a flag.

htcanalyze -c htcanalyze.conf paths

See CONFIG for more information.

Modes

HTCAnalyze has two modes of operation:

• analyze: provides detailed output, including a RAM histogram, HTCondor errors, and more. This is the default if only one file is given.

• summarize: provides summarized output collected by each state of a job (e.g. waiting, running, terminated, etc.) This is the default if more than one file is given.

Example output:

• analyze mode:

  

• summarize mode:

  

Examples

• Print help text, listing functionality:

  htcanalyze -h
  or 
  man htcanalyze (uses more detailed man page)

• Analyze a single file:

  htcanalyze logs/job_5991_0.log

• Summarize all log files in a directory (summarized by their states).
