Jobs Table

Provides in depth details of the different features of the Jobs Table.

Jobs Table Column Descriptions


Column Heading	Description
n/a	A job warning is indicated in the table's first column by the color of the cell: Red: Warning Transparent: OK
Host Name	The SMW or Cluster host name from which the job was launched.
Job ID	The job ID which is reported by the workload manager for job metric values.
Apid	The application ID which is reported by the workload manager for job metric values

End Time	The time that the job ended, as reported by the workload manager
Duration	The calculated amount of time the job has run
Avg. I/O Size	The Average I/O Size is calculated as the total number of bytes read and written since the given job's inception, divided by the total number of read and write requests since the job’s inception. The displayed value will appear in red text when it is < 64000 bytes per read/write. Small I/O sizes cause the file system to perform poorly, indicating poor job performance.
Metadata Ops	Metadata Ops is calculated as the sum of all the metadata operations since the given job’s inception, from each MDT. The displayed value will appear in red text when it is > 1,000,000 total operations. High metadata operations cause the file system to perform poorly, indicating poor job performance.
