LSF integrates with Windows Performance Monitor, so you can chart LSF cluster, host, queue, and job performance information. Windows Performance Monitor can also be used to trigger external commands when specified thresholds are exceeded.
A service called LSF Monitor passes information from LSF to the Windows Performance Monitor. LSF Monitor must be installed separately.
Once installed, LSF Monitor automatically sends information to the Windows Performance Monitor. Use the Windows Performance Monitor to chart LSF performance information.
The host, queue, and job objects support multiple instances.
Number of servers where an LSF daemon (sbatchd or RES service) is down
Number of sick jobs (jobs submitted with no password, jobs with job dependency never satisfied, and jobs pending more than 3 days)
Response time of LIM (as measured by the time to make an ls_load call)
Response time of mbatchd (as measured by the time to make an lsb_queueinfo call)
You must have a cluster running LSF version 4.0 or higher. You must install LSF Monitor on any LSF server or client host running Windows. The cluster can include UNIX hosts. You must specify a cluster administrator account and password.
The LSF Monitor setup program is installed with LSF. Use lsfmon ‑install to actually install the LSF Monitor service:
