Starting the Grid Monitor

The grid monitor is used to monitor distributed SAS LASR Analytic Server and high-performance procedures. The monitor can be started from two locations:
  • The machine that has SAS Foundation installed and that acts as a client to the server. This can be a Linux machine or a Windows machine.
  • The machine that acts as the root node for the server.
For the machine that acts as a client to the server, the monitor program is available at the following location, depending on your operating environment:
UNIX Specifics: SASHome/SASFoundation/Version/utilities/bin/tkgridmon
Windows Specifics: SASHome\SASFoundation\Version\tkgridmon.exe
You must specify values for -gridhost and -gridinstall. You must also specify the -startui option. See the following example:
./tkgridmon -gridhost grid001.example.com -gridinstall /opt/TKGrid -startui
The same options apply to the Windows operating environment.
The other way to start the monitor is to log on to the root node of the cluster and run it from that host. The monitor is available at the following location:
/opt/TKGrid/bin/gridmon.sh
The functionality of the monitor is identical, regardless of the location that you use to start it.
The initial display of the monitor is the node view, as show in Grid Monitor Node View.
