GRAM Reporter Configuration

The GRAM Reporter is generally configured using the setup-globus-gram-reporter setup script. This section of the GRAM Reporter Manager manual describes all options which may be passed to the GRAM Reporter on the command line.

Configuration File Options

-conf PATH: Set the path to the jobmanager configuration file. The gram reporter publishes some of the values in this file. It reads the arguments from this file in addition to other command line arguments. If the same arguments are found in the conf file and on the command line, the values from the conf file will override.

Arguments looked for in the job manager's configuration file include:

-home
-globus-gatekeeper-host
-globus-gatekeeper-port
-globus-gatekeeper-subject
-globus-host-manufacturer
-globus-host-osname
-globus-host-osversion
-globus-host-cputype
-job-reporting-dir
-machine-type
-condor-arch
-condor-os

-home GLOBUS_LOCATION: Set the GLOBUS_LOCATION environment variable to the specified Globus-Location.

-type JOB_MANAGER_TYPE: Set the type of scheduler interface to use for this gram reporter. A similarly named program is required in the $HOME/libexec/globus-script-<type>-queue shell script is required.

-condor-arch ARCH: Set the condor architecture for this GRAM reporter to be the specified ARCH. This is required when the job manager type is condor.

-condor-os OSNAME: Set the condor operating system name for this GRAM reporter to be the specified OSNAME. This is required when the job manager type is condor.

-job-reporting-dir PATH: Set the path to the directory to look for GRAM job status files.

-dont-publish-jobs: Job information is published by default. Use this option if you would like to not publish job information.

-rdn <relative domain name>: This argument uniquely identifies the job manager service for a host. For example, if 2 pbs job manager services are installed on a host, the -rdn arg will uniquely identify them. -rdn jobmanager-pbs-1 and -rdn jobmanager-pbs-2. The GRAM reporter uses this argument to construct a complete dn for the GRAM job manager MDS objects.

-dmdn <base domain name>: This argument is used as the base dn under which the GRAM reporter objects will be published. Typically, this value is the dn for the host object.

-keep-to <seconds>: Sets the number of seconds that the objects are valid for. The default is 600 (15 minutes).

-cldif PATH: File path to write the ldif information. Otherwise the information is printed to STDOUT.

-machine-type: Unused by the GRAM reporter at this time.
