condor_status(1) General Commands Manual condor_status(1)
Name
condor_status Display - status of the Condor pool
Synopsis
condor_status [-debug] [help options] [query options] [display options] [custom options] [name ... ]
Description
condor_status is a versatile tool that may be used to monitor and query the Condor pool. The condor_status tool can be used to query
resource information, submitter information, checkpoint server information, and daemon master information. The specific query sent and the
resulting information display is controlled by the query options supplied. Queries and display formats can also be customized.
The options that may be supplied to condor_statusbelong to five groups:
* Help optionsprovide information about the condor_status tool.
* Query optionscontrol the content and presentation of status information.
* Display optionscontrol the display of the queried information.
* Custom optionsallow the user to customize query and display information.
* Host optionsspecify specific machines to be queried
At any time, only one help option, one query optionand one custom optionmay be specified. Any number of customand host optionsmay be speci-
fied.
Options
-debug
Causes debugging information to be sent to stderr , based on the value of the configuration variable TOOL_DEBUG
-help
(Help option) Display usage information
-diagnose
(Help option) Print out query ClassAd without performing query
-absent
(Query option) Query for and display only absent resources.
-any
(Query option) Query all ClassAds and display their type, target type, and name
-avail
(Query option) Query condor_startdClassAds and identify resources which are available
-ckptsrvr
(Query option) Query condor_ckpt_serverClassAds and display checkpoint server attributes
-claimed
(Query option) Query condor_startdClassAds and print information about claimed resources
-cod
(Query option) Display only machine ClassAds that have COD claims. Information displayed includes the claim ID, the owner of the claim,
and the state of the COD claim.
-collector
(Query option) Query condor_collectorClassAds and display attributes
-direct hostname
(Query option) Go directly to the given host name to get the ClassAds to display
-java
(Query option) Display only Java-capable resources.
-license
(Query option) Display license attributes.
-master
(Query option) Query condor_masterClassAds and display daemon master attributes
-negotiator
(Query option) Query condor_negotiatorClassAds and display attributes
-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]
(Query option) Query the specified central manager using an optional port number. condor_status queries the machine specified by the
configuration variable COLLECTOR_HOST by default.
-run
(Query option) Display information about machines currently running jobs.
-schedd
(Query option) Query condor_scheddClassAds and display attributes
-server
(Query option) Query condor_startdClassAds and display resource attributes
-startd
(Query option) Query condor_startdClassAds
-state
(Query option) Query condor_startdClassAds and display resource state information
-statistics WhichStatistics
(Query option) Can only be used if the -directoption has been specified. Identifies which Statistics attributes to include in the Clas-
sAd. WhichStatisticsis specified using the same syntax as defined for STATISTICS_TO_PUBLISH . See the definition at 3.3.11for details.
-storage
(Query option) Display attributes of machines with network storage resources.
-submitters
(Query option) Query ClassAds sent by submitters and display important submitter attributes
-subsystem type
(Query option) If typeis one of collector, negotiator, master, schedd, startd, or quill, then behavior is the same as the query option
without the -subsystemoption. For example, -subsystem collectoris the same as -collector. A value of typeof CkptServer, Machine, Daemon-
Master, or Schedulertargets that type of ClassAd.
-vm
(Query option) Query condor_startdClassAds, and display only VM-enabled machines. Information displayed includes the the machine name,
the virtual machine software version, the state of machine, the virtual machine memory, and the type of networking.
-attributes Attr1[,Attr2 ... ]
(Display option) Explicitly list the attributes in a comma separated list which should be displayed when using the -xmlor -longoptions.
Limiting the number of attributes increases the efficiency of the query.
-expert
(Display option) Display shortened error messages
-long
(Display option) Display entire ClassAds (same as -verbose)
-sort expr
(Display option) Change the display order to be based on ascending values of an evaluated expression given by expr. Evaluated expres-
sions of a string type are in a case insensitive alphabetical order. If multiple -sortarguments appear on the command line, the primary
sort will be on the leftmost one within the command line, and it is numbered 0. A secondary sort will be based on the second expression,
and it is numbered 1. For informational or debugging purposes, the ClassAd output to be displayed will appear as if the ClassAd had two
additional attributes. CondorStatusSortKeyExpr<N> is the expression, where <N> is replaced by the number of the sort. CondorStatus-
SortKey<N> gives the result of evaluating the sort expression that is numbered <N> .
-total
(Display option) Display totals only
-verbose
(Display option) Display entire ClassAds. Implies that totals will not be displayed.
-xml
(Display option) Display entire ClassAds, in XML format. The XML format is fully defined at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/classad/ref-
man/.
-constraint const
(Custom option) Add constraint expression. See section 4.1and section 4.1.4for details on ClassAds and on writing expressions.
-format fmt attr
(Custom option) Display attribute or expression attrin format fmt. To display the attribute or expression the format must contain a sin-
gle printf(3) -style conversion specifier. Attributes must be from the resource ClassAd. Expressions are ClassAd expressions and may
refer to attributes in the resource ClassAd. If the attribute is not present in a given ClassAd and cannot be parsed as an expression,
then the format option will be silently skipped. The conversion specifier must match the type of the attribute or expression. %s is
suitable for strings such as Name , %d for integers such as LastHeardFrom , and %f for floating point numbers such as LoadAvg . %v
identifies the type of the attribute, and then prints the value in an appropriate format. %V identifies the type of the attribute, and
then prints the value in an appropriate format as it would appear in the -longformat. As an example, strings used with %V will have
quote marks. An incorrect format will result in undefined behavior. Do not use more than one conversion specifier in a given format.
More than one conversion specifier will result in undefined behavior. To output multiple attributes repeat the -formatoption once for
each desired attribute. Like printf(3) -style formats, one may include other text that will be reproduced directly. A format without
any conversion specifiers may be specified, but an attribute is still required. Include n to specify a line break.
General Remarks
* The default output from condor_status is formatted to be human readable, not script readable. In an effort to make the output fit
within 80 characters, values in some fields might be truncated. Furthermore, the Condor Project can (and does) change the formatting of
this default output as we see fit. Therefore, any script that is attempting to parse data from condor_status is strongly encouraged to
use the -formatoption (described above).
* The information obtained from condor_startdand condor_schedddaemons may sometimes appear to be inconsistent. This is normal since con-
dor_startdand condor_schedddaemons update the Condor manager at different rates, and since there is a delay as information propagates
through the network and the system.
* Note that the ActivityTime in the Idle state is notthe amount of time that the machine has been idle. See the section on con-
dor_startdstates in the Administrator's Manualfor more information.
* When using condor_status on a pool with SMP machines, you can either provide the host name, in which case you will get back informa-
tion about all slots that are represented on that host, or you can list specific slots by name. See the examples below for details.
* If you specify host names, without domains, Condor will automatically try to resolve those host names into fully qualified host names
for you. This also works when specifying specific nodes of an SMP machine. In this case, everything after the ``@'' sign is treated as a
host name and that is what is resolved.
* You can use the -directoption in conjunction with almost any other set of options. However, at this time, the only daemon that will
allow direct queries for its ad(s) is the condor_startd. So, the only options currently not supported with -directare -scheddand -mas-
ter. Most other options use startd ads for their information, so they work seamlessly with -direct. The only other restriction on
-directis that you may only use 1 -directoption at a time. If you want to query information directly from multiple hosts, you must run
condor_status multiple times.
* Unless you use the local host name with -direct, condor_status will still have to contact a collector to find the address where the
specified daemon is listening. So, using a -pooloption in conjunction with -directjust tells condor_status which collector to query to
find the address of the daemon you want. The information actually displayed will still be retrieved directly from the daemon you speci-
fied as the argument to -direct.
Examples
Example 1To view information from all nodes of an SMP machine, use only the host name. For example, if you had a 4-CPU machine, named vul-
ture.cs.wisc.edu , you might see
% condor_status vulture
Name OpSys Arch State Activity LoadAv Mem ActvtyTime
slot1@vulture.cs.w LINUX INTEL Claimed Busy 1.050 512 0+01:47:42
slot2@vulture.cs.w LINUX INTEL Claimed Busy 1.000 512 0+01:48:19
slot3@vulture.cs.w LINUX INTEL Unclaimed Idle 0.070 512 1+11:05:32
slot4@vulture.cs.w LINUX INTEL Unclaimed Idle 0.000 512 1+11:05:34
Total Owner Claimed Unclaimed Matched Preempting Backfill
INTEL/LINUX 4 0 2 2 0 0 0
Total 4 0 2 2 0 0 0
Example 2To view information from a specific nodes of an SMP machine, specify the node directly. You do this by providing the name of the
slot. This has the form slot#@hostname . For example:
% condor_status slot3@vulture
Name OpSys Arch State Activity LoadAv Mem ActvtyTime
slot3@vulture.cs.w LINUX INTEL Unclaimed Idle 0.070 512 1+11:10:32
Total Owner Claimed Unclaimed Matched Preempting Backfill
INTEL/LINUX 1 0 0 1 0 0 0
Total 1 0 0 1 0 0 0
Constraint option examples
Further explanation and examples are in section .
The Unix command to use the constraint option to see all machines with the OpSys of "LINUX" :
% condor_status -constraint OpSys=="LINUX"
Note that quotation marks must be escaped with the backslash characters for most shells.
The Windows command to do the same thing:
>condor_status -constraint " OpSys==""LINUX"" "
Note that quotation marks are used to delimit the single argument which is the expression, and the quotation marks that identify the string
must be escaped by using a set of two double quote marks without any intervening spaces.
To see all machines that are currently in the Idle state, the Unix command is
% condor_status -constraint State=="Idle"
To see all machines that are bench marked to have a MIPS rating of more than 750, the Unix command is
% condor_status -constraint 'Mips>750'
-cod option example
The -codoption displays the status of COD claims within a given Condor pool.
