Please provide a bresources option where we can find the default reservation unit per defined resource: job, task, host

Currently, it's not strait forward for a user to be able to see what the default reservation units are for things like memory, swap, license resources, etc. It would be nice if there were a bresources option to show the default allocation unit's f...

Please Log the Pre and Post Exec Runtimes in MBD and through Events

The Pre-exec start event is logged, but there is no event for the post exec. So, it's almost impossible for us to track the runtimes of post exec without adding additional layers to our external reporting. We would prefer these metrics to be track...

Please log the number of bwaits processed per minute in "badmin perfmon view" and the current number of bwait's queued in "badmin show status"

Currently, we can see the number of total bwaits that have gone into the system since we have command debug logging enabled, but we have no easy way to know how many wait's are queued up or what the throughput of bwait commands are. We would use t...

Support Rate Limiting in the LSF Proxy

We have a case where users, if left to their own accords will not eclipse the current supported connections, but in the end will diminish the batch performance if left on their own. So, provide a feature where I can have a configuration file that ...

Add a 'bsub -Gl limit_name' option to separate Fairshare Assignment from the Limit also add a default limit pattern to use if ONE_UG_TREE does not find a matching limit

We have many cases, where we have limits for users, but we also want to want to apply a fairshare group for the job to arrive at a base allocation. Unfortunately, with ONE_UG enabled, if the Fairshare Group does not have a corresponding Limit, not...

Limit Loans to certain User Groups and/or Project tag patterns in Guarantee Pools

We want to enable more loaning of resources, but the various teams are rather territorial. They would loan to some one in either the same user group tree, and/or the same Project by regular expression. Allow Guarantee Pools to support that loan po...

Allow the LSF Planner to ignore cetain select[] criteria
