Cluster Performance Report
HxMap provides an optional reporting functionality for Cluster jobs to help the user assess the throughput of individual jobs and provides an easy way to compare relative throughput of different jobs.
A job report summary is available as an HTML file, and a detailed report is saved in XML format which could utilized in various business intelligence reporting software
For Ingest jobs the report is stored alongside the .hexrs file in the session folder
For Triangulation jobs the report is stored alongside the .hextrg file in the project folder
For all other jobs requiring HxMap project the report is stored in the job’s Result’s folder
To turn on Cluster job reporting, configure the HxMap.ini General Section

create_job_report=trueAnalyzing the Summary report
The Summary report provides the following information:
Job type - in more complex cluster jobs like ingest these are broken down by Job and Sub Job
Job count
Job failures - each time a job to Hold state in the HTCondor queue it will be counted as a failure
Machine Time statistics - these are computed for each specific Sub Job to help identify variances
Clock Time summary - elapsed time it took to complete each specific Sub Job, to help evaluate efficiency of the nodes in the cluster
Throughput Summary - the area of the input in square kilometers together with total Machine Time and Clock Time of the job to help predict throughput for future jobs
