LLVIEW: graphical monitoring of LoadLeveler controlled cluster

Download the Software

  1. -> LLview, Version 1.3p3
  2. -> LLview_da (data access), Version 1.0b2

Prerequisites

The data access component llview_da needs a C-compiler and access to the LoadLeveler data access API and library (llapi).

The LLview client is written in Perl and uses following additional modules of Perl:

(1)Tk, Tk::NoteBook, Tk::FileSelect, Compress::Zlib
(2)Archive::Tar, IO::String, Config::IniFiles, XML::Lite
(3)LWP::UserAgent, Time::HiRes

Some of these modules are normally included in the standard Perl distribution (3). Another part of these modules (2) are only ASCII-based perl-Modules (.pm). These are included in the distribution of LLview (in the ./lib directory) and should be found by perl. The remaining modules (1) of the list above have to be compiled. A pre-compiled version of these modules is available on the download page for AIX 5.2 (perl.rte and freeware perl.rpm) and for the SuSE 9.2 distribution of perl. If you need this modules, download the corresponding file and untar it in the ./lib directory of llview. After this, Perl should find these modules.

We have tested the LLview server on AIX based system and the client on different Linux platform and also under Windows XP using the ActivePerl distribution of Perl (tested with version 5.8.4.810 of ActivePerl).

Installation

After download the distribution file llview-???.tar.gz unpack this file with:

> gunzip -c llview-???.tar.gz | tar xf -

The directory llview and the sub-directories lib, util and llapi will be generated. To use the LLview client move this directory to location where all user can access the files. Link the llview script in a directory, which is in the search path (PATH environment variable) of the users. That's all:

> llview

LLview explores the location of the Llview library automatically when starting the script.

Adjust the configuration file llview.rc in the top directory. ...
