This page contains some (much) needed improvements and thoughts for the development team.

Improvements

• web
  • AJAX frontend
    • job preview pane support: use Grid data binding in Ext
    • archive support
      • archive search window
      • perhaps reuse existing job grid: make it a toggle button
      • try to reuse the same JS code/objects
    • better general graphs support
      • dont display RJ/QJ graph if jobmond not reporting it
  • PHP backend
    • speed up jobstore.php, 1000+ jobs decreases speed significantly
      • possible optimisations: use gmetad interactive port, only grab selected cluster XML

• jobarchived overhaul
  • fix threads #45
  • support for multiple database backends #14

• jobmond
  • change polling/updating to use gmetric lifetime: i.e. poll/submit every 60 secs = gmetric with 61 seconds lifetime
  • support GECOS field #41
  • multiple batch systems per cluster #4
  • incremental reporting? requires some sort of stateful protocol perhaps #16

• Ganglia 3.1 support
  • allow jobmond to run as a gmond module
  • rewrite embedded gmetric to new protocol
  • backwards compatible ? or require 3.1

• packaging
  • build ExtJS library to only contain the objects we need: saves space and possibly speeds up web
  • proper .spec and/or debian pkg files? #75
