condor_userlog(1)					      General Commands Manual						 condor_userlog(1)

Name
       condor_userlog Display - and summarize job statistics from job log files.

Synopsis
       condor_userlog [-help] [-total | -raw] [-debug] [-evict] [-j cluster | cluster.proc] [-all] [-hostname] logfile ...

Description
       condor_userlog  parses  the  information  in job log files and displays summaries for each workstation allocation and for each job. See the
       manual page for condor_submiton page for instructions for specifying that Condor write a log file for your jobs.

       If -totalis not specified, condor_userlogwill first display a record for each workstation allocation, which includes the following informa-
       tion:

       Job

	  The cluster/process id of the Condor job.

       Host

	  The  host  where  the job ran. By default, the host's IP address is displayed. If -hostnameis specified, the host name will be displayed
	  instead.

       Start Time

	  The time (month/day hour:minute) when the job began running on the host.

       Evict Time

	  The time (month/day hour:minute) when the job was evicted from the host.

       Wall Time

	  The time (days+hours:minutes) for which this workstation was allocated to the job.

       Good Time

	  The allocated time (days+hours:min) which contributed to the completion of this job. If the job exited during the allocation, then  this
	  value  will  equal  ``Wall Time.'' If the job performed a checkpoint, then the value equals the work saved in the checkpoint during this
	  allocation. If the job did not exit or perform a checkpoint during this allocation, the value will be 0+00:00. This value can be greater
	  than	0  and	less  than ``Wall Time'' if the application completed a periodic checkpoint during the allocation but failed to checkpoint
	  when evicted.

       CPU Usage

	  The CPU time (days+hours:min) which contributed to the completion of this job.

       condor_userlogwill then display summary statistics per host:

       Host/Job

	  The IP address or host name for the host.

       Wall Time

	  The workstation time (days+hours:minutes) allocated by this host to the jobs specified in the query. By default, all jobs in the log are
	  included in the query.

       Good Time

	  The time (days+hours:minutes) allocated on this host which contributed to the completion of the jobs specified in the query.

       CPU Usage

	  The CPU time (days+hours:minutes) obtained from this host which contributed to the completion of the jobs specified in the query.

       Avg Alloc

	  The average length of an allocation on this host (days+hours:minutes).

       Avg Lost

	  The average amount of work lost (days+hours:minutes) when a job was evicted from this host without successfully performing a checkpoint.

       Goodput

	  This percentage is computed as Good Time divided by Wall Time.

       Util.

	  This percentage is computed as CPU Usage divided by Good Time.

       condor_userlogwill then display summary statistics per job:

       Host/Job

	  The cluster/process id of the Condor job.

       Wall Time

	  The total workstation time (days+hours:minutes) allocated to this job.

       Good Time

	  The total time (days+hours:minutes) allocated to this job which contributed to the job's completion.

       CPU Usage

	  The total CPU time (days+hours:minutes) which contributed to this job's completion.

       Avg Alloc

	  The average length of a workstation allocation obtained by this job in minutes (days+hours:minutes).

       Avg Lost

	  The average amount of work lost (days+hours:minutes) when this job was evicted from a host without successfully performing a checkpoint.

       Goodput

	  This percentage is computed as Good Time divided by Wall Time.

       Util.

	  This percentage is computed as CPU Usage divided by Good Time.

       Finally, condor_userlogwill display a summary for all hosts and jobs.

Options
       -help

	  Get a brief description of the supported options

       -total

	  Only display job totals

       -raw

	  Display raw data only

       -debug

	  Debug mode

       -j

	  Select a specific cluster or cluster.proc

       -evict

	  Select only allocations which ended due to eviction

       -all

	  Select all clusters and all allocations

       -hostname

	  Display host name instead of IP address

General Remarks
       Since  the Condor job log file format does not contain a year field in the timestamp, all entries are assumed to occur in the current year.
       Allocations which begin in one year and end in the next will be silently ignored.

Exit Status
       condor_userlogwill exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
