CONDOR_UPDATES_STATS(1)

💖 CONDOR_UPDATES_STATS 💖

okay bestie, listen up — this one's a lil HTCondor Manual baddie called condor_updates_stats, and she's here to display output from condor_status. that's the whole vibe. she parses, she flexes, she serves. 🔥

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

condor_updates_stats [--help | -h] | [--version]

condor_updates_stats [--long | -l] [--history=<min>-<max>]
[--interval=<seconds>] [--notime] [--time] [--summary | -s]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so condor_updates_stats dips into the output from condor_status, parses it, and then serves up everything about update statistics in a format that's actually useful, not a wall of chaos. and the ordering? most recent update first, no cap. the freshest update gets the smallest number. newest = littlest number, that's just the rules. 💅

and how many historic points exist to represent those updates? that's configurable on a per-source basis by the configuration variable COLLECTOR_DAEMON_HISTORY_SIZE. she said customizable per source, periodt. 🎀

---

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• -help — shows you the usage info and then dips out. bye bestie 👋
• -h — literally the same as -help.
• -version — spills the HTCondor version info and then exits. iconic.
• -long — all the update statistics get displayed. skip this one and the stats get condensed instead (i.e. condensed is the default vibe).
• -l — same as -long, just shorter to type.
• -history=<min>-<max> — sets the range of update numbers that get printed. by default, the entire history shows up. wanna limit it? you can specify the minimum and/or the maximum.
  • no minimum given? you get values from 0 up to the maximum.
  • no maximum given? you get everything after the minimum.
  • both given? the displayed range includes the endpoints and everything in between. inclusive queen. 💖
  • no = sign at all? command-line parsing fails and the usage information gets displayed. 💀 don't do that.
  • = sign with no min or max values? you just get the default: the entire history.
• -interval=<seconds> — the assumed update interval, in seconds. assumed times for the updates get displayed, which makes using the -time option together with the -interval option redundant. so like, pick one, bestie.
• -notime — don't display assumed times for the updates. and if you pass more than one of -notime and -time? the final one parsed within the command line is the one that decides. last one wins, always.
• -time — display assumed times for the updates. and yeah, same deal: if more than one of -notime and -time shows up, the final one parsed in the command line determines the display.
• -summary — only the summary info, please. not the entire history for every single machine. we're being concise now. 😌
• -s — same as -summary.

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

condor_updates_stats exits with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and exits with a nonzero value upon failure. simple as that. slay when it works, cry when it doesn't. 😭

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

assuming the default of 128 updates kept, and assuming the update interval is 5 minutes, condor_updates_stats displays this:

$ condor_status -l host1 | condor_updates_stats -\-interval=300
(Reading from stdin)
*** Name/Machine = 'HOST1.cs.wisc.edu' MyType = 'Machine' ***
 Type: Main
   Stats: Total=2277, Seq=2276, Lost=3 (0.13%)
     0 @ Mon Feb 16 12:55:38 2004: Ok
  ...
    28 @ Mon Feb 16 10:35:38 2004: Missed
    29 @ Mon Feb 16 10:30:38 2004: Ok
  ...
   127 @ Mon Feb 16 02:20:38 2004: Ok

so inside this display, update numbered 27 — which happens later in time than the missed update numbered 28 — is Ok. every single change in state, in reverse time order, shows up in this condensed version. reverse chronological, main character energy only. 👑
