GlideinWMS The Glidein-based Workflow Management System

Factory Advertisement of Entries

Each Factory entry advertises information about itself that Frontends use when creating requests. The Frontend also uses this information to publish resource ClassAds to the User Collector.

There is one ClassAd per entry point and it includes the following:

1. Information used to identify the ClassAd. FactoryName and GlideinName are used by the Frontend to identify the factory needed when generating requests.
   1. Values used to manage Classads in the Collector
      • Name = "entry_name@glidein_name@factory_name"
      • Internal ClassAd type of Master
   2. Values used to distinguish the different ClassAd types and used by GlideinWMS to query the Collector
      • GlideinMyType = "glidefactory"
   3. Values set by GlideinWMS to be used by HTCondor but not by GlideinWMS
      • MyType = "glidefactory"
2. Requirements of the Factory.
   1. The Factory and Frontend agree on trust domains and are used to determine what credentials are valid for a site. This is used by the Frontend to map a credential to an entry so each entry publishes its trust domain. The Factory does not interpret this value and it is used by Frontends.
      • GLIDEIN_TrustDomain = "OSG"
   2. Each entry supports an authentication method that describes the credential requirements for submitting glideins. Only one method is allowed per entry and these attributes are only used by v3+ Frontends. The glidein proxy attribute is True for non-grid-proxy entries.
      • GLIDEIN_SupportedAuthenticationMethod = "grid_proxy"
      • GlideinRequireGlideinProxy = False
   3. Additional requirements may need to be supplied by the Frontend. An entry may require the Frontend to pass the VM Id and Type.
3. Information about the configuration and installation. This is used by admins for querying the collector or possibly in match expressions.
   1. Factory information
      • FactoryName = "factory_name"
      • GlideinName = "glidein_name"
      • GlideinWMSVersion = "glideinWMS UNKNOWN"
   2. Entry information. These values are specific to each entry and may be used by the Frontends in matching user requirements to jobs.
      • EntryName = "entry_name"
      • GLIDEIN_GridType = "condor"
      • GLIDEIN_GlobusRSL = "(queue=default)"
      • GLIDEIN_Gatekeeper = "entry.domain.name entry.domain.name:port"
      • DaemonStartTime = 1291848363
4. Optional Factory admin defined attributes. If const=False, they will be prefaced with GlideinParam. The intention of this is to indicate that the Frontend can override but this functionality is broken.
   1. Values used to affect glidein behavior.
      • CCB = "True"
      • GlideinParamGLIDEIN_Max_Idle = 1200
      • Etc.
   2. Information published about an entry that can be used by the Frontend, for example, something used in a Match expression for matching user jobs to entries.
      • GLIDEIN_Site = "site_name"
      • Etc.
   3. Glidein Collector: This special value is automatically added by the Factory in every Classad. The Frontend is required to overwrite it (define in the Frontend request).
      • GlideinParamGLIDEIN_Collector = "Fake"
5. Communication requirements.
   1. The Factory publishes the security information that the Frontend uses to communicate requests. This is needed for legacy reasons.
      • PubKeyID = "03910dfe2d1101f80fd4f7c388fd2e1c"
      • PubKeyType = "RSA"
      • SupportedSignTypes = "sha1"
      • PubKeyValue = "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMIIBIjAG9w0BAQ32m ... eZWnULjTB\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----\n"
6. Downtime information.
   1. An entry can go into downtime when there are issues. The Frontend can then use this information in selecting entries so that it only requests glideins from entries that can service the request.
      • GLIDEIN_In_Downtime = "True"
7. Monitoring values.
   1. These are generated by the Factory and used for generating the monitoring data. All are prefaced with GlideinMonitor. Monitoring values may be shared between services but are only used in generating monitoring information and not to affect glidein submission.
      • GlideinMonitorTotalStatusPending = 0
      • GlideinMonitorTotalStatusIdle = 0
      • Etc.
