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...

Forward, without local processing, bsub options to remote clusters

In multi-cluster scenarios, there should be no expectation that all the clusters are configured the same and/or support the same resources, slas, architectures, etc. Currently, when launching jobs with -sla, -m, and other options, the local schedu...

job resource usage correction

My developers always submit distributed jobs to the cluster, when their jobs ends with OOM error in one of the nodes, bjobs or bacct commands find that the job's memory usage is incorrect. For example , in server's '/var/log/message' we can see th...

bjobs -o reserved_mem or bhosts -o reserved_mem

To see how much memory is reserved on a host, we need to parse the bhosts -l <hostname> command, and it doesn't give us info about which job is reserving how much memory. I'd either like to see one of the following: bhosts -o 'jobid reserved...
