"SWIM Grid Monitor" Fields Available

Derived from the Fusion Grid Monitor's (FGM) data field definitions. New fields relative to FGM are listed in italics. Some fields will not be used initially, but are being retained for anticipated future use.

code (String)

The IPS component associated with the event. Framework generated

comment (String)

Comment field to add additional information. Need to figure out how this related to rcomment

contact (String)

Possible future use for contact person for active component

eventtype (string)

Differentiates metadata transmissions (implementation deferred) from framework events and possibly other types of events). Framework provided Allowed values: metadata, framework, application

fcode (String)

Possible future use for component method associated with event

host (String)

Host or platform name on which simulation is running. Framework provided

logfile (String)

Possible future use for URL to log file

ok(True/False)

Controls error state. If "false", the state will be displayed red, denoting an error. Framework provided

outputprefix (string)

User-specific string used to modify filenames in output tree. Same as config file parameter, which allows users to overlay outputs from multiple simulation runs into the same directory tree (i.e. ensembles of simulations). Framework provided

phystimestamp (string)

Allows the driver to convey information about the current simulation timestep to the portal. Content is not specifically defined. The expectation is that it will be something meaningful for SGM users to track the progress of a long-running simulation.

queueat (String)

Possible future use Time in which the code run was submitted to a queue.

queuename (String)

Possible future use Queue to which the code run was submitted.

rcomment (String)

Additional user comments regarding the code run. Need to figure out relationship with comment field

runid (String)

Run ID which is used to identify the code run. Global runid provided by portal, otherwise framework generated UUID if unable to get from portal

seqnum (Long)

Sequence number for events sent to the portal by the job (runid). Will help identify missing messages and facilitate replay/merging of event logs where the portal is unreachable for some or all of the simulation. Framework generated

simname (string)

User-specified simulation name. Same as config file parameter used to set the top level directory name for simulation output

startat (String)

Time in which the code run began running. Framework provided

state (String)

Status of the code run (see below). Framework provided

stopat (String)

Time in which the code run stopped running. Framework provided

tag (String)

User-specified text string, which can be used to help group or identify runs config file parameter

tokamak (String)

Possible future user to identify machine config file in use

user (String)

User who requested the code run. Framework provided, maybe overridden by config file parameter

walltime (Long)

Total wall time taken by the code run. Framework provided

Unused FGM Fields

The following fields in FGM do not immediately appear to be useful for SGM.

cputime (Long)

Total CPU time taken by the code run. Too hard to produce a meaningful value for our simulations

ftphost (String)

FTP host where the logfile for the post is located. Turn logfile into a URI instead

priority (String)

The priority level at which the code run was run at.

shot (Long)

An additional long integer used to identify unique code runs.

State Field Values

The state field is used to report the status of a simulation run being tracked by SGM. Status values will be one of the following, while more specific information is reserved for the comment field.

Queued

Possible future use Code run has been queued, and is waiting to start.

Fetching Inputs

Possible future use File staging operations at the beginning of a component invocation

Running

Component is currently running.

Writing Outputs

Possible future use File staging operations at the end of a component invocation

Completed

Simulation run has successfully completed.

Canceled

Possible future use Simulation run has been cancelled by the user.

Stopped

Simulation run has halted, and is no longer running.

Unused FGM State Values

The following fields in FGM do not immediately appear to be useful for SGM.

Requested

A code run has been requested by the user.

Certificate OK

A valid Globus certificate exists.

Authorization OK

User is authorized to run the requested code.
