INSTOOLS, Instrumentation Tools
What is it?
INSTOOLS gives users the ability to observe and understand the runtime behavior of their experiments. Leveraging existing monitoring capabilities, INSTOOLS creates a simple interface for the user but also allows for a detailed drill down for more advanced purposes.
For more details on the INSTOOLS project, see InstrumentationTools.
See the online GEC9 Tutorial for details about setting up INSTOOLS.
See below for a quick overview of how to start using INSTOOLS.
Quick Start
- Download the python INSTOOLS scripts and docs
- See the /docs/README file for more details on using INSTOOLS.
- You should already have the appropriate accounts and certificates setup. See /docs/INSTOOLS-SETUP.
- Create your experiment as usual.
- Once the experiment has been setup, run the instrumentize.py script with the appropriate slicename.
./instrumentize.py -n slicename
- The time needed for the script to run will vary on the number of nodes used and the current server loads.
- Towards the end, you will be prompted for a password. This will be used for the Live View (Drupal) pages and the Portal page.
- Once the scripts are complete, go to the Portal . For Portal help, see Portal Wiki.
