Maybe this is an RFE, but I would like to see more frequent updates to my Grid graph in Cumin and changing this value does not help at all... condor-qmf-7.4.4-0.10.el5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo "QMF_UPDATE_INTERVAL = 10" > /etc/condor/config.d/50-QMFjasan.config 2. service condor restart 3. look at Cumin's Grid graphs and see they get updated only once in 15 mins Actual results: Graphs are updated merely every 15 minutes. Expected results: The interval should be easily settable and it should provide an obvious change immediately after restarting Condor. Additional info: There is no documentation, no mention of this config option anywhere in the current source tree. What is the unit? Minutes? Seconds? ~/grid.git$ grep -r QMF_UPDATE_INTERVAL * | cut -d: -f1 src/management/MgmtStartdPlugin.cpp src/management/MgmtCollectorPlugin.cpp src/management/MgmtNegotiatorPlugin.cpp src/management/MgmtMasterPlugin.cpp src/management/MgmtScheddPlugin.cpp src/condor_triggerd/Triggerd.cpp src/condor_job_server/job_server_main.cpp
The graph of slot utilization is controlled by how often the Collector advertises new information. The QMF_UPDATE_INTERVAL controls how often new information will be published. collector.cpp: int i = param_integer("COLLECTOR_UPDATE_INTERVAL",900); // default 15 min The Collector only updates information every 15 minutes. If you want to see more samples in the slot utilization graph, change the COLLECTOR_UPDATE_INTERVAL. We can take this as an RFE for better documentation of this fact and potentially as something that is adjustable from the Admin view of the console.
FAQ - Q: How can I make the "Grid -> Overview, Host info" graph update more frequently? A: The data comes from the Collector and is controlled by the COLLECTOR_UPDATE_INTERVAL, defaulting to 300 seconds (15 minutes). Set it to a smaller value, such as 30, on the nodes where the condor_collector is running.
