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_info tool outputs is not quite correct. This manual page is more accurate for those releases.

condor_gather_info will 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 --jobid option, 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 Remarks section below, under the category of Identity.

With the --jobid option, 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 Remarks section 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 --scratch option is specified, it identifies a directory in which to build the tar file. If the --scratch option is not specified, then the directory will be /tmp/cgi-<PID>, where the process ID is that of the condor_gather_info executable.

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.

General Remarks

The information gathered by this tool is:

  1. Identity
  2. Job Information

Files

condor-profile.txt The Identity portion of the information gathered when condor_gather_info is run without arguments.
cgi-<username>-jid<cluster>.<proc>-<year>-<month>-<day>-<hour>_<minute>_<second>-<TZ>.tar.gz The output file which contains all of the information produced by this tool.

Exit Status

condor_gather_info will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
