[Condor-users] How to find starter process which got struck and not responding to Startd

[Johnson koil Raj <johnson.raj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

    In our pool we are facing this issue intermittently. we are running VM Jobs. And this always happen when the Starter process trying to get the status of a VM.

    The Starter process will struck or hang without any log update futher and no updates will be sent to STARTD, so it keeps last updated status. After some time the corresponding job in queue will goes to idle state. And trying to match another machine to execute.

The VM job is inconsistent state for some time if it was actually powered off by the user from inside. The VM job state is running.

1. Is there any way to find those kind of STARTER process which is not updating the STARTD.
2. I am polling VM status for every 2 minutes, how can I configure STARTD so that it show kill the STARTER process if it not responding will proper data after max 5 minutes.
   
3. How to force the job to match the same machine in that case when job went into idle state and try to match new machine. 

Thanks,
Johnson.
