Monitor Data Element

At present, the monitor component has less elements to define; this may change in future releases, when certain hard-coded features of the driver may be handed over to the client for configuration.

MonitorType

This component can be furnished with its own set of properties (currently unused). What is necessary to set at present is only the schedulerType attribute. It specifies the target system's job scheduler. Currently supported batch systems are COBALT_BG, GRIDENGINE, LL, LL_BG, LSF, OPENMPI, PBS, PE, SLURM, SLURM_ALPS, TORQUE and TORQUE_ALPS. These names can be used as attribute values for schedulerType. refreshFrequencyInSeconds defaults to 60, but this can be changed according to the needs of the user. Be aware that too low a setting will probably not work, as the command on an average sized system will take upwards of five seconds to complete (XML is being streamed to the driver and a diff is sent back to the client ).

If the driver element is configured, then the default behavior, which is to stage over the necessary driver scripts to the .eclipsesettings directory in the user's home, is overridden by connecting to a pre-existent installation. This can be specified either using the url, or a combination of the name, path and args elements.
