Dashboard - Queue View
Use the administrator Dashboard's Queue view to review queue resource consumption, inspect its capacity and configuration, and open detailed activity and cost charts.
The screenshots use xxsmall on awuse1nprpc03 as an example. Queue names, capacity, configuration, and reported values can differ in your environment.
Select a Queue and Reporting Period
- Open HPC > Dashboard and set Type to Queue.
- Select the required Provider, Account, and Region.
- Open Queue and select the required item using its checkbox. The example uses xxsmall.
- Open Cluster and select the relevant cluster. The example uses awuse1nprpc03 (OpenFOAM).
- Open the calendar, select the reporting dates, and click Apply.
- Click the Search button beside the calendar to retrieve the results.
See Choose Dates and Retrieve Results for the shared calendar controls. The selection screenshots above show the state before Search; previously loaded cards can still be visible. Click Search again after changing the filters or dates.
Read the Queue Card
The card identifies the QUEUE, the CLUSTER name and version, and RESOURCES containing the provider, cloud account ID, and region.
The four summary charts are Concurrent CPU Cores, Cumulative CPU Hours, Average CPU Cores, and Compute Cost. Values reflect the selected filters and reporting period.
Use Details to open Queue Details. Use the separate small expand icon immediately beside it to open the selected queue's detailed metrics.
Open Queue Details
Click Details on the required queue card. Scroll within Queue Details to review these sections.
Queue Details
Review Provider, Resource Type, Account ID, Region, Cluster Name, Queue Name, and Asset ID to identify the queue and its environment.
Capacity Details
Review Total CPUs and Memory. These are the capacity values displayed for this queue; they are separate from the usage charts in the expanded view.
Queue Configuration and Compute Resources
| Section | Fields shown |
|---|---|
| Queue Configuration | Queue Name, Subnet IDs, Policies, Script Location, Volume Type, Volume Size, Encryption. |
| Compute Resources | Name, Instance Type, Min Instance Count, Max Instance Count, EFA Enabled, Placement Group Enabled, Disable SMT. |
Review each compute resource entry where more than one is shown. Read boolean values together with their field names; for example, Disable SMT: False means that disabling SMT is not enabled.
Additional Details
Review Status, Cluster Version, Created At, and Tags. Close the window using X when finished.
Open the Expanded Metrics View
- Close Queue Details using X if it is open.
- On the same queue card, click the small expand icon beside Details.
- Confirm the window title identifies the selected queue, then scroll through the sections below.
Recent Jobs and Workstation Status
Recent Jobs lists Job Name, Job ID, and Status.
Workstation Status lists Workstation, Status, Total Hours, and Total Cost.
Jobs & Workstations
Jobs Overview shows total jobs and their success/failure breakdown. Jobs Executed shows the execution trend, with total and maximum values above the chart. The interval dropdown shows Daily in this example.
Scroll down to Jobs by Status to review the status distribution and its trend. The legend identifies the statuses represented.
Cost
Budget vs Spend compares the displayed budget and spend.
Cost Breakup shows the cost distribution and trend. Its legend includes Workstation, Headnode, Compute, Storage, Database, and Others.
Resources
Review the following charts and the totals, maximums, or averages displayed on each:
- CPU Cores
- Cumulative CPU Hours
- Concurrent CPU Cores
- Average CPU Hours
- Total Nodes
- Node Hours
The expanded view uses the label Average CPU Hours, while the summary card uses Average CPU Cores. Hover over a data point to inspect its timestamp and value.
Resource Report Table
Scroll below the charts to review the daily report for the selected queue.
| Category | Columns |
|---|---|
| Date and activity | Date, Jobs Executed |
| Cost | Total Cost, Workstation Cost, Compute Cost |
