Fortuitously not only was I up early enough to notice the failure as it happened, but also Alan was awake and aware to fix the problem within minutes! I'd give us 10/10 for responsiveness, YMMV. From this graph you can see that when I woke up about 0520 local there were still jobs running, and that Alan had it fixed before 0800. (We are user cmst1.) |

I'm seeing some strange behaviour in my CMS job monitoring graphs at the moment. I'm not sure if this is related to a WMAgent component failure early Saturday morning -- that was a database error that doesn't appear to have any tangible effect on our operation. However... I'm seeing a gradual decline in the number of queued jobs, over about 1.5 hours, from our normal 700 jobs to 150-200 jobs, but then the queue jumps back up to 700, again for another 1.5 hours or so before starting another decline. At the moment the only advice I can give is to watch your error rates from time to time, and be prepared to set No New Tasks or take other evasive actions, until I manage to contact someone at CERN who is not on holidays. |

All WMAgent components are now running again, and the strange queue behaviour seems to have gone away. |

did anyone else have the same problem like I had on all my PCs this afternoon: all tasks failed after 10-14 minutes. Now it seems to be back at normal. |

anyone any idea what's going on? All CMS tasks on my computers failing since several hours ago. |

Meanwhile the emergency break was activated and the server queue is down to 0. Ivan, are you aware of this? |

Erich56 wrote:anyone any idea what's going on? All CMS tasks on my computers failing since several hours ago. Trying desperately to find out what is going on. Problem is I was on Eurostar all afternoon and now I'm stuck in a hotel room in Montparnasse with just an Android tablet and a netbook newly converted to Mint Linux for company. The queue is running down. The last batch is used up. I submitted a new batch yesterday but jobs are not being put into the queue. I also submitted new credentials for the VMs that Laurence runs at CERN (and one of mine...); that should not affect Volunteers'machines. The server status shows no tasks in the CMS queue. I do not know yet whether that is because the queue ran out and Laurence's brake kicked in or if there are still some issues from yesterday's CERN problems. WMAgent was in a funny state yesterday; Alan just restarted it and it's looking fine at the moment. I'll try to contact Laurence, who is probably in an AirBnB not too far away but e-mail will probably be quicker than knocking door-to-door. |

I might have found the problem. I found an error log stating that there were problems with the agent, so it was probably already in a confused state when I submitted the new batch. I aborted it and submitted another. It will take a little while to start queueing jobs (if it does...) and then I'm not sure if Laurence has to manually remove the block on task submissions or if it happens automagically, |

Could someone please set up some more CMS-Tasks on the dev-project? There have not been any for the past 3 days or so. |

Could someone please set up some more CMS-Tasks on the dev-project? Hmm, you're right. Sorry, I was in Paris for BOINC Workshop 2017 (just got home) and didn't notice. Probably related to all the problems CERN had the other day; I'll tickle the relevants. |

for the past few hours, all newly started CMS tasks fail and finish after about 10-14 minutes. What's the problem? From the pattern shown, I would guess it's the WMAgent? |
