[Beowulf] How to Monitor Cluster

[Mike Davis]

Graphically, Ganglia works well.


text bases you might consider using pdsh to do an hourly uptime for load 
info then run that through awk to clean it up and put it in a readable 
format. In the past, I've also run "top" with a count of 1 and used awk 
to clean it up.

It can be good to know not only memory and load, but what jobs are 
running at a given time.


Honestly though, I mainly use ganglia these days with job details being 
provided by SGE via the qstat command.
