Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Job Monarch say it was "Last updated: 1970" ?

This can mean a number of things:

• jobmond is not running
• jobmond's metrics are not arriving at your gmetad
  • Does your gmetad display the MONARCH metrics? Try telnet localhost 8651 | grep MONARCH
• your cluster name is not set correctly in either Ganglia or Job Monarch
  • Check your gmond.conf, gmetad.conf and jobmond.conf for the correct (and the same) clustername

Why are Job Monarch's cluster image's not drawn ?

Most likely, you don't have GD installed or enabled in your PHP configuration. See:

Why is Job Monarch's pie chart not drawn ?

Most likely, you don't have GD installed or enabled in your PHP configuration. See:

My distribution has Ganglia installed in a other path than /var/www

You can easily create your own packages, with a alternate WEBDIR.

• Download the tarball and extract it

wget ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/outgoing/ganglia_jobmonarch-latest.tar.gz
tar zxvf ganglia_jobmonarch-latest.tar.gz

• edit the Makefile

cd ganglia_jobmonarch-<version>
vi Makefile

• change the WEBDIR variable to your alternate webdir

WEBDIR = /var/www

This is the ROOT path of your webserver and the Makefile assumes that ganglia is in: ${WEBDIR}/ganglia

• make new packages

make rpm
make deb

Why doesn't Job Monarch frontend display the job information
