Connect license checkouts to jobs

Uniquely connect the license checkouts to jobs. The idea is to put a unique value into LM_PROJECT environmental variable and then get the LM_PROJECT value via lmstat using the -lm option to display the project value. This will allow LSF, LS and RT...

Request is for ELIMS to be imported into LSF Simulator

Currently LSF Simulator only permits LIMS resources, not ELIMS. All LSF clusters use both LIMS and ELIMS therefore there why would Simulator only support LIMS resources and not ELIMS

Sleep processor

A user's job is to stay in an asleep/hung state, which shows RUN on the LSF side. (due to some zombie process) On the LSF side, I would be nice to have, if the process is in a sleep state for 10 minutes and then kill/stop the process/job. Having a...

Regular expressions in calculated fields

For some raw-data fields like res_req or effective_res_req in the job_acct index, it is right now not possible to extract single parameters like the mem-parameter in the rusage section. This could be achieved by supporting regular expressions (reg...

Make vm_type details in lsb. Acct file

vm_type is field is available only on event file . Can this be made available for Acct file as well? We extract lot of job information from Acct file so it will be good if we get vm_type details in the same file

Effective r15s/r1m/r15m values for job reservations

When using run queue length indices in rusage strings, there should be an option to have the value divided by ncpus. Since in the "total load used for scheduling" the r15s/r1m/r15m are taken from lsload -E and divided by the specific ncpus for tha...

In a multi-cluster environment,When there is a queue of the same name between the local cluster and the remote clusterI hope the local cluster will see HOSTS information of the same name queue of the remote cluster. In a multi-cluster environment,...

RTM License Scheduler Users dashboard to include demand rusage value

RTM License Scheduler Users dashboard currently has the demand rusage value set to 1 and does not reflect the actual demand from the job. It is not clear if the feature/resource demand would come from the job or an LS query, but currently the valu...
