# Configuring Grid Collectors

# Introduction

The GRID Extension offers plug-ins and connectors for metering distributed grid computing environments, such as LSF(Load Sharing Facility), PBS Professional, OpenPBS, Sun Grid Engine, and TORQUE(Terascale Open-source Resource and Queue Manager). Use ComputeAnalyzer GRID to track issues, such as causes of failed and pending jobs, for improved grid analysis.

# Requirements

• An Open iT Client connected to an Open iT Server or a coexistent Open iT setup
• Activated SystemAnalyzer and grid collectors

# Configuring Grid Engine Directories

• Configuring LSF Batch Logs Directory
• Configuring PBS Accounting Logs Directory
• Configuring Sun Grid Engine Logs Directory

# Configuring LSF bjobs Path

1. In the Open iT client, open collect_system_lsf.oconf in the scheduler directory, which is by default in /var/opt/openit/etc/scheduler.

2. Locate and set the value of root.scheduler.jobs.collect_lsf.operations.arguments to the path of the LSF batch jobs (bjobs) executable.

   collect_system_lsf.oconf

   49|    arguments
   50|    {
   51|        type=string
   52|        value=--bjobs /path/to/lsf/bin/dir/bjobs
   53|    }

3. Save the changes.
