Compute node health in LSF ResourceMap

We would like to see the compute node health in ResourceMap as below.

root@bsubexit1 conf]# bhosts -R "health==ok"

HOST_NAME STATUS JL/U MAX NJOBS RUN SSUSP USUSP RSV

bsubexit1 ok - 4 0 0 0 0 0

[root@bsubexit1 conf]# lsload -R "health==ok"

HOST_NAME status r15s r1m r15m ut pg ls it tmp swp mem

bsubexit1 -ok 0.8 1.0 0.9 13% 0.0 1 1 32G 15.9G 5G


We configured an ELIM script to check the node health, Ram, swap, nfs and tmp (Example: /tmp reached 80%, status is notok). so user can submit a jobs with -R "select[(health==ok)]" if the node unhealthy, the jobs will not run on that node and job will wait for the healthy node.
