condor_gather_info — HTCondor Manual

Gather information about an HTCondor installation and a queued job

condor_gather_info [--jobid ClusterId.ProcId] [--scratch /path/to/directory]

condor_gather_info is a Linux-only tool that will collect and output information about the machine it is run upon, about the HTCondor installation local to the machine, and optionally about a specified HTCondor job. The information gathered by this tool is most often used as a debugging aid for the developers of HTCondor.

Without the --jobid option, information about the local machine and its HTCondor installation is gathered and placed into the file called condor-profile.txt, in the current working directory. The information gathered is under the category of Identity.

With the --jobid option, additional information is gathered about the job given in the command line argument and identified by its ClusterId <href="../classad-attributes/job-classad-attributes.html#ClusterId"> and ProcId <href="../classad-attributes/job-classad-attributes.html#ProcId"> ClassAd attributes. The information includes both categories, Identity and Job information. As the quantity of information can be extensive, this information is placed into a compressed tar file. The file is placed into the current working directory, and it is named using the format

cgi-<username>-jid<ClusterId>.<ProcId>-<year>-<month>-<day>-<hour>_<minute>_<second>-<TZ>.tar.gz

All values within <> are substituted with current values. The building of this potentially large tar file can require a fair amount of temporary space. If the --scratch option is specified, it identifies a directory in which to build the tar file. If the --scratch option is not specified, then the directory will be /tmp/cgi-<PID>, where the process ID is that of the condor_gather_info executable.

The information gathered by this tool:

1. Identity

   • User name who generated the report
   • Script location and machine name
   • Date of report creation
   • uname -a
   • Contents of /etc/issue
   • Contents of /etc/redhat-release
   • Contents of /etc/debian_version
   • Contents of $(LOG)/MasterLog
   • Contents of $(LOG)/ShadowLog
   • Contents of $(LOG)/SchedLog
   • Output of ps -auxww -forest
   • Output of df -h
   • Output of iptables -L
   • Output of ls 'condor_config_val LOG'
   • Output of ldd 'condor_config_val SBIN'/condor_schedd
   • Contents of /etc/hosts
   • Contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf
   • Output of ulimit -a
   • Output of uptime
   • Output of free
   • Network interface configuration (ifconfig)
   • HTCondor version
   • Location of HTCondor configuration files

   • HTCondor configuration variables

     • All variables and values
     • Definition locations for each configuration variable

2. Job Information

   • Output of condor_q jobid
   • Output of condor_q -l jobid
   • Output of condor_q -analyze jobid

   • Job event log, if it exists

     • Only events pertaining to the job ID
   • If condor_gather_info has the proper permissions, it runs condor_fetchlog on the machine where the job most recently ran, and includes the contents of the logs from the condor_master, condor_startd, and condor_starter.

-jobid <ClusterId.ProcId>

Data mine information about this HTCondor job from the local HTCondor installation and condor_schedd.

-scratch /path/to/directory

A path to temporary space needed when building the output tar file. Defaults to /tmp/cgi-<PID>, where <PID> is replaced by the process ID of condor_gather_info.

• condor-profile.txt The Identity portion of the information gathered when condor_gather_info is run without arguments.
• cgi-<username>-jid<cluster>.<proc>-<year>-<month>-<day>-<hour>_<minute>_<second>-<TZ>.tar.gz The output file which contains all of the information produced by this tool.

condor_gather_info will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
