Feature: "Popularity contest" type analytics

[adamboutcher]

Do you think there would be a way to develop some internal analytics to find out which applications are being used the most?

Maybe, but unlikely any time soon. I'm sure you could spot check with some form of sacctmgr | grep | awk | sed | count type pipeline. The names of batch connect jobs are regular in the sense that you can grep for them and sed to extract the app name.

Also there may be some XDMoD plugin specifically for OnDemand that I'm forgetting.

I was more thinking as a future feature rather than anything with real urgency.

We're not using slurm which would have made things easier to do in another way.

If I get any spare time, I'll take a dig and see what could be done without any significant overheads or changes.

We can't really develop against any other scheduler at the moment, so even if this feature were to be developed, it's likely to only support Slurm anyhow.
