Re: [HTCondor-users] Being able to set the Gangliad DMAX value in the GangliaD metrics definitions

The Value option does evaluate via classad language so I am curious if something like Value = ifThenElse(State=="Claimed" && Activity!="Idle", 1, 0) would work. I am also unsure if that needs to wrapped in quotes or not. However, There is a debug log for the condor ganglia daemon normally called GangliadLog and you can set GANGLIA_DEBUG = D_FULLDEBUG to get condors perspective of what information is being sent. I will keep playing around with things to see if I find anything else.

after thinking a bit about this issue, I realized that reducing the DMAX
value would be OK in some scenarios, but actually it is not what I
needed right now. Instead, I wanted to try and change the definition of
the metric to inject to Ganglia.

I was doing:

[
Aggregate = "SUM";
Name   = "CPUsInUse";
Value = Cpus;
Desc   = "Number of CPUs in use";
Requirements = State=="Claimed" && Activity!="Idle";
TargetType = "Machine";
]

while I would need:

[
Aggregate = "SUM";
Name   = "CPUsInUse";
Value = 'State=="Claimed" && Activity!="Idle"?1:0';
Desc   = "Number of CPUs in use";
TargetType = "Machine";
]

The difference being that the first one will simply not inject any
metric to Ganglia when no CPUs are used by HTCondor, while the second
one will (at least in my head :-)) inject 0 in the same scenario.

But the problem is that no matter how I try to write the Value
_expression_, it doesn't seem to work and no metric value is injected to
Ganglia.

Any idea on how to debug this or what the Value _expression_ should really
be?

Thanks,
