Accounting and Reporting Console (ARCo)

The optional Accounting and Reporting Console (ARCo) enables you to gather live reporting data from the Grid Engine system and to store the data for historical analysis in the reporting database, which is a standard SQL database.

Raw reporting data is generated by sge_qmaster. This raw data is stored in the $SGE_ROOT/$SGE_CELL/common/reporting file. The dbwriter program reads the raw data in the reporting file and writes it to the SQL reporting database, where it can be accessed by ARCo.

ARCo supports the following SQL database systems:

  • PostgreSQL
  • Oracle
  • MySQL

The dbwriter provides functionality that helps you to manage your database size, by specifying Derived Values and Deletion Rules.

ARCo also provides a web-based tool that contains a set of predefined SQL queries. The predefined queries aupplement the most frequent statistical inquiries. You can modify these queries or create your own. To create your queries, you can use either the Simple Query builder (suitable for SQL novices) or the Advanced Query generator. You can display the data in a tabular, graphical, or pivotal form. You can export the data in CVS or PDF form, or store the result for later viewing. You can also use the arcorun utility to run ARCo queries in a batch mode. For information about arcorun, see arcorun. For more information about how to use ARCo, see Starting the Accounting and Reporting Console. For information about how to install ARCo, see Installing ARCo.

If you have multiple clusters, one dbwriter installation per cluster is needed, but only one Reporting installation is needed for all clusters.
