2.1 KiB

cc-backend version 1.4.2

Supports job archive version 2 and database version 8.

This is a small bug fix release of cc-backend, the API backend and frontend implementation of ClusterCockpit. For release specific notes visit the ClusterCockpit Documentation.

Breaking changes

  • You need to perform a database migration. Depending on your database size the migration might require several hours!
  • You need to adapt the cluster.json configuration files in the job-archive, add new required attributes to the metric list and after that edit ./job-archive/version.txt to version 2. Only metrics that have the footprint attribute set can be filtered and show up in the footprint UI and polar plot.
  • Continuous scrolling is default now in all job lists. You can change this back to paging globally, also every user can configure to use paging or continuous scrolling individually.
  • Tags have a scope now. Existing tags will get global scope in the database migration.

New features

  • Tags have a scope now. Tags created by a basic user are only visible by that user. Tags created by an admin/support role can be configured to be visible by all users (global scope) or only be admin/support role.
  • Re-sampling support for running (requires a recent cc-metric-store) and archived jobs. This greatly speeds up loading of large or very long jobs. You need to add the new configuration key enable-resampling to the config.json file.
  • For finished jobs a total job energy is shown in the job view.
  • Continuous scrolling in job lists is default now.
  • All database queries (especially for sqlite) were optimized resulting in dramatically faster load times.
  • A performance and energy footprint can be freely configured on a per subcluster base. One can filter for footprint statistics for running and finished jobs.

Known issues

  • Currently energy footprint metrics of type energy are ignored for calculating total energy.
  • Resampling for running jobs only works with cc-metric-store
  • With energy footprint metrics of type power the unit is ignored and it is assumed the metric has the unit Watt.
