condor_gather_info(1) General Commands Manual condor_gather_info(1)
Name
condor_gather_info Gather - information about a Condor installation and a queued job
Synopsis
condor_gather_info[ -- jobid<ClusterId.ProcId>] [ -- scratch/path/to/directory]
Description
NOTE: The usage information that the Condor versions 7.7.3 and 7.7.4 condor_gather_infotool outputs is not quite correct. This manual page
is more accurate for those releases.
condor_gather_infowill collect and output information about the machine it is run upon, about the Condor installation local to the machine,
and optionally about a specified Condor job. The information gathered by this tool is most often used as a debugging aid for the developers
of Condor.
Without the -- jobidoption, information about the local machine and its Condor installation is gathered and placed into the file called
condor-profile.txt , in the current working directory. Specification of the information gathered is given in the General Remarkssection
below, under the category of Identity.
With the -- jobidoption, additional information is gathered about the job identified by its ClusterId and ProcId ClassAd attributes.
This information includes both categories as given in the General Remarkssection below: Identity and Job information. As the quantity of
information can be extensive, this information is placed into a compressed tar file. The file is placed into the current working directory,
and it is named using the format cgi-<username>-jid<ClusterId>.<ProcId>-<year>-<month>-<day>-<hour>_<minute>_<second>-<TZ>.tar.gz , where
all values within <> are substituted with current values. The building of this potentially large tar file can require a fair amount of
temporary space. If the -- scratchoption is specified, it identifies a directory in which to build the tar file. If the -- scratchoption
is notspecified, then the directory will be /tmp/cgi-<PID> , where the process ID is that of the condor_gather_infoexecutable.
Options
--jobid <ClusterId.ProcId>
Data mine information about this Condor job from the local Condor installation and condor_schedd.
--scratch /path/to/directory
A path to temporary space needed when building the output tar file. Defaults to /tmp/cgi-<PID> , where <PID> is replaced by the
process ID of condor_gather_info .
