Add Effective Memory Utilization to All Statistics Tables

RTM maintains a consistent set of ETL's across multiple dimensions. It is the same table structure for all of these ETL's. However, a key metric is missing from the ETL's and it's the effective memory utilization. In other words sum(max_memory) /s...

Ability to easily load missing LSF event streams and LSF accounting data

Customer has gaps in data loading due to problems with ElasticSearch and is looking to fill these gaps with some way of easily loading the missing data to Elastic Search. One idea would be to add a command to load data in a specified date and time...

bacct command output should have GPU memory Usage details visible like CPU MEM usage

currently in bacct command output we could see below: Accounting information about this job: Share group charged </hkorva> CPU_T WAIT TURNAROUND STATUS HOG_FACTOR MEM SWAP1844603.00 0 73687 done 25.0329 171.1G 2M if the job is a GPU job then...

When a Benchmark job fails It would be nice to see the bsub used to submit the job

We can manually construct the actual bsub, but it would be nice to be able to cut and paste it when editing the Benchmark job so we can test that it actually will work. In one case we were getting "Queue Permission Errors" and it having that bsub ...

Allow Session Scheduler to support the queue level Job Starter when the Session Spreads to Multiple Hosts

In testing of Session Scheduler, it works perfectly, on secondary hosts, it does not seem to respect our job starter which will limit our ability to deploy Session Scheduler more broadly. Closing this gap is important.

Allows Session Scheduler Account Directory and moving parts to support the lsf.conf variable LSB_STDOUT_DIRECT.

We recently were able to confirm that if the user leaves off the SSCHED_ACCT_DIR in lsb.params, that they can set the same as an environment variable, and eventually the Session Scheduler account file will end up in that location, but the users re...

Add user group filter for bacct and bhist

To evaluate jobs w.r.t. user groups/fair share groups I would like to have a filter for user groups in bacct and bhist similar to the option -G of bjobs.

bjobs should show LIMITs ( MEMLIMIT / RUNLIMIT ) from queues or applications, please improve it.

Currently LIMITs settings ( MEMLIMIT / RUNLIMIT ) from queues or applications did NOT show in "bjobs -l" output, only job-level setting did. But the LIMITs are still effective in job environment, so it may deliver wrong information to user until j...

Ability to browse LSF documentation via version/point-in-time

LSF documentation is not versioned — the documentation you see is essentially the latest version. We often want to know when a particular configuration parameter was first introduced, e.g. if you are running LSF 10.1.0.8, is configuration paramete...

Use all applicable NUMA Memory information on a machine to determine available Memory resources before dispatching a job to a machine

We were noticing that jobs were being terminated by LSF with the message: TERM_MEMLIMIT: job killed after reaching LSF memory usage limit.Exited with exit code 137. Yet, this was happening before the job had even consumed the amount of memory rese...
