[Condor-users] Condor monitoring alternatives

[Brent Strong <brs3567@xxxxxxx>]

Here at RIT, we've been working on building up a respectable Condor  
pool with some success.  We're now running into the issue of  
monitoring our clients.  We have enough client machines that it is now  
impossible to visually parse the condor_status output to find  
"stragglers", so I'm looking for an automated solution.

I'm specifically looking for a lightweight alternative to hawkeye,  
possibly something we could integrate into or have as an addition to  
our quick stats look ( http://stats.rc.rit.edu/condor/ ).

Has anyone written a simple script or similar that contains a master  
list of machines that should be up and compares the output of  
condor_status to it?  It seems to be something that would be very  
useful and I'm hoping I can reuse someone else's code.

Ideally, we want a lightweight webpage that shows a list of machines  
(by hostname, IP, whatever) that Condor is installed on and their  
corresponding status (up and running condor, up but not running/ 
responding to condor, down).  Combining the output of a ping test,  
condor_status and a master list of machines, these states should be  
easily determined.  My question is: has anyone done this?

Thanks,
