VOV Metrics

The Altair Accelerator allows users to collect arbitrary metrics, where a metric is defined as a "named time series" of values, where each value is either a floating point number or a string.

There are three families of metrics:
  • Server metrics are collected automatically by the vovserver, and capture information about the scheduler, like the number of queued jobs or the jobs-per-hour statistics.
  • Design metrics are controlled by the user.
  • FairShare metrics.
By default, all three families of metrics are enabled. To enable a subset, set the server configuration parameter metrics.enable to a decimal mask constructed from this bit components:
  • 1 = enable_server_metrics
  • 2 = enable_design_metrics
  • 4 = enable_fairshare_metrics

To activate all metrics, use the value 7.
