Docs for ClusterCockpit Searchbar

Usage

• Searchtags are implemented as type:<query> search-string

  • Types jobId, jobName, projectId, username, name for roles admin and support
    • jobName is jobName as persisted in job.meta_data table-column
    • username is actual account identifier as persisted in job.user table-column
    • name is account owners name as persisted in user.name table-column
  • Types jobId, jobName, projectId for role user
  • Examples:
    • jobName:myJob12
    • jobId:123456
    • username:abcd100
    • name:Paul

• If no searchTag used: Best guess search with the following hierarchy

  • jobId -> username -> name -> projectId -> jobName

• Destinations:

  • JobId: Job-Table (Allows multiple identical matches, e.g. JobIds from different clusters)
  • JobName: Job-Table (Allows multiple identical matches, e.g. JobNames from different clusters)
  • ProjectId: Job-Table
  • Username: Users-Table
    • Please Note: Only users with jobs will be shown in table! I.e., Users without jobs will be missing in table. Also, a Last 30 Days is active by default and might filter out expected users.
  • Name: Users-Table
    • Please Note: Only users with jobs will be shown in table! I.e., Users without jobs will be missing in table. Also, a Last 30 Days is active by default and might filter out expected users.
  • Best guess search always redirects to Job-Table or /monitoring/user/$USER (first username match)
  • Unprocessable queries will display messages detailing the cause (Info, Warning, Error)

• Spaces trimmed (both for searchTag and queryString)

  • job12 == job12
  • projectID : abcd == projectId:abcd

• jobName- and name-queries work with a part of the target-string

  • jobName:myjob for jobName "myjob_cluster1"
  • name:Paul for name "Paul Atreides"

• JobName GQL Query is resolved as matching the query as a part of the whole metaData-JSON in the SQL DB.
