# Configuring Grid Collectors

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.

Before proceeding with the configuration, please make sure that the grid collector module is enabled in the Core Server.
