The Counter for CMS-Tasks went also to ZERO. (500 at the moment)

Sorry, where are you seeing that? Everything looks pretty normal to me. In fact we have an up-tick at the moment, possibly picking up overspill from another app that's not sending tasks.

[Edit] Strange, we seem to be picking up tasks at the expense of LHCb, although they have a lot in the queue. ATLAS was down to zero tasks available, but some are coming through now. [/Edit]

Ivan, where do you see ATLAS Tasks coming through?

Server-Status page at LHCatHome.
Atlas give unresolved back which are running. Since Friday there is no ATLAS in the pipe.
Hopeful, that the Server Status page is not the real one.

Edit: CGI testing, the whole day-Friday, see -dev forum under News.

That's exactly where I am looking at all the time. And Since Friday, under "unsent" I see only zero.
Plus, whenever the BOINC Manager tries to download ATLAS tasks, it says "no tasks available".

When I looked, there were 24 tasks queued. After I posted, there were none. :-(
[Edit] It's showing one just now! [/Edit]

We're surviving. The queue of jobs on the Condor server is down from its normal 700 but that's not totally unusual. We are running more jobs than normal at present, which may be putting some pressure on the pipeline. I think we are a fair way from being critical yet.

I'll be sure to give you as much warning as I can when the WMAgent update is scheduled.

Thanks a lot, Ivan

We're running down the queue overnight to update WMAgent tomorrow. Best set
No New Tasks as soon as practicable.

Alan tells me he has an appointment tomorrow morning, so the intervention will take place after lunch (CERN time). Hopefully we'll have jobs again later in the afternoon.

Yes, Alan finished the update about an hour ago. I submitted a new batch 45 minutes ago and the queue on the condor server is back up to its usual 700. You can turn on the taps again.

Message 31142 - Posted: 27 Jun 2017, 21:06:19 UTC

Yes, although we're ramping up a bit more slowly than I expected. This is possibly partly because Laurence has cut his cluster down to just 10 cores while he tries some experiments -- he had considerably more than that before. Also, some people may not have seen the news announcements and their machines have entered quota back-off. And, as there was some evidence a week or so back, some hosts may have started running other apps as backfill and we need to wait for those tasks to finish before they come back to CMS.

which can be seen clearly here:

But I guess it will be back to normal soon.

Message 31159 - Posted: 28 Jun 2017, 16:04:04 UTC - in response to Message 31147.  

hm, for some reason the number of running jobs stagnates at a level of sligthly above 400 - as seen here:

https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/cms_job.php

what might be the reason?

For a start Laurence has been doing tests with his cluster, so that's a few hundred cores lost. Also, we don't have as many active users as normal. This is possibly due to people heeding my warning that a drought was coming, and not yet re-starting; people who didn't see my warning and whose machines are still in a quota back-off; and people whose hosts were set to switch to other apps when CMS had no jobs, and have yet to fully switch back. I'm not panicking yet.

for a few hours, I have not been able to download CMS tasks ("no tasks available") - BTW, no ATLAS tasks either.

Anything wrong with the newly installed WMAgent?
