NAME

Schedule::Load::Reporter - Distributed load reporting daemon

SYNOPSIS

  use Schedule::Load::Reporter;

  Schedule::Load::Reporter->start(dhost=>('host1', 'host2'),
                                  port=>1234,);

DESCRIPTION

Schedule::Load::Reporter on startup connects to the requested server host and port. The server connected to can then poll this host for information about system configuration and current loading conditions.

start ([parameter=>value ...]);: Starts the reporter. Does not return.

PARAMETERS

dhost: List of daemon hosts that may be running the slchoosed server. The second host is only used if the first is down, and so on down the list.
port: The port number of slchoosed. Defaults to 'slchoosed' looked up via /etc/services, else 1752.
fake: Specifies load management should not be used, for reporting of a "fake" hosts' status or scheduling a non-host related resource, like a license.
min_pctcpu: The minimum percentage of the CPU that a job must have to be included in the list of top processes sent to the client. Defaults to 3. Setting to 0 will consume a lot of bandwidth.
stored_filename: The filename to store persistent items in, such as if this host is reserved. Must be either local-per-machine, or have the hostname in it. Defaults to /usr/local/lib/rschedule/slreportd_{hostname}_store. Set to undef to disable persistence (thus if the machine reboots the reservation is lost.) The path must be **ABSOLUTE** as the daemons do a chdir.
