Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 Monitoring Management Pack

  • Article

 

The Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 Monitoring Management Pack provides both proactive and reactive monitoring of the Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 and Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 SP1 cluster environment. It monitors Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 and Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 SP1 components – such as the head node, compute nodes, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) broker nodes, workstation nodes, the cluster network, and the HPC Job Scheduler service – to report issues that can cause downtime or poor performance for the cluster that is running Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 or Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 SP1.

 

Feature Summary

The following features of the management pack are new since the Windows HPC Server 2008 Management Pack:

  • Monitors for a greater number of HPC-related services on the cluster nodes, including the HPC MPI Service, the HPC Broker Service, the HPC Session Service, and the MSMQ Service
  • A monitor for the disk usage of the MSMQ service on broker nodes
  • Monitors for workstation nodes
  • Monitors for CPU utilization and memory utilization on compute nodes and workstation nodes
  • Ability to monitor the collective status of a node group
  • A monitor for cluster power consumption efficiency, as well as configurable rules to dynamically increase the power consumption efficiency of compute nodes
