Appendix B: grb_rs - Configuration Properties

The following list of properties can also be displayed using the grb_rs properties command.

ADMINPASSWORD: Type string

Client password for administrator access. The password can be sent in the clear or can be hashed using the ‘grb_rs hash’ command for better security.

AWS: Type bool

Use --aws to override on the command line.

Enables AWS configuration using ec2 user-data.

AWS_HOSTNAME_MODE: Type string

Indicates how to get the node name; deprecated. See CLOUD_HOSTNAME_MODE.

AZURE: Type bool

Use --azure to override on the command line.

Enables Azure configuration using user-data.

CLIENT_DETAILS_ADMIN: Type bool

Indicates that client details such as hostname and IP address are only accessible as an admin user. When a job is submitted, the client hostname, IP, and process ID are recorded. By default, this information can be displayed by any user through the grbcluster command-line tool or the REST API. If this property is set to true, only the administrator can access this information.

CLOUDKEY: Type string

Cloud license key.

CLOUD_HOSTNAME_MODE: Type string

Indicates how to get the node name on the AWS or Azure: ‘public’ or ‘private’. The public mode will assign the public DNS name or IP, whereas the private mode will assign the base name of the private DNS name. The private mode is used with a Gurobi router.

CLUSTER_ADMINPASSWORD: Type string

Client password to administer the cluster. The password can be stored in the clear or can be hashed using ‘grb_rs hash’ command for better security.

CLUSTER_TOKEN: Type string

Unique cluster identifier. The token is an encrypted key used to secure communication between nodes. All nodes of a cluster must have the same token. Use ‘grb_rs token’ command to generate a new token.

CONSOLE_TS: Type bool

Use --console-ts to override on the command line.

Add timestamps to console log messages.

DATA_DIR: Type string (default data)

Use --data to override on the command line.

Root directory to store remote services data.

GROUP: Type string

Node grouping for job affinity assignment.

HARDJOBLIMIT: Type int (default 0)

A hard limit on the number of simultaneous client jobs. Certain jobs (those with priority 100) are allowed to ignore the JOBLIMIT, but they aren’t allowed to ignore this limit. Client requests beyond this limit are queued. Use 0 to disable.

IDLESHUTDOWN_COMMAND: Type string

Command to execute when the idle shutdown is reached (typically a command to shut down the machine).

IDLESHUTDOWN_STOPPED: Type int (default -1)

Idle time limit (minutes) to trigger a shutdown of the machine once the processing state is STOPPED; -1 to disable.

IDLETIMEOUT: Type int (default 0)

Default idle timeout, in seconds. If a job does not send a command for more than the timeout, it will be terminated. Use 0 to disable.

IGNOREPRIORITIES: Type bool

Disables job priority handling.

JOBLIMIT: Type int (default 2)

Default keep-alive timeout, in seconds. If a job does not send a keep-alive message within the timeout interval, it will be terminated.

KEEP_BATCH_DATA: Type bool

Indicates if temporary batch files must be kept. When a batch job is executed, input data is first generated in an input directory. Output data is similarly stored in an output directory. By default, these directories are deleted once the batch is completed to save space. However, using this property, the files can be kept until the job is evicted from the recent history (see MAX_RECENT.)

LICENSEID: Type string

Cloud license ID.

LOGFILE: Type string

Use --logfile to override on the command line.

Enables logging to a rotating log file.

LOGFILE_MAX_AGE: Type int (default 5)

Use --logfile-max-age to override on the command line.

Limits the rotating log file to a number of days.

LOGFILE_MAX_SIZE: Type int (default 500)

Use --logfile-max-size to override on the command line.

Limits the size of each file to a size in MB.

MANAGER: Type string

Use --manager to override on the command line.

Timeout (in seconds) for all REST API calls to the Cluster Manager.

MAX_QUEUE: Type int (default 1000)

Maximum number of jobs in the queue.

MAX_RECENT: Type int (default 50)

Maximum number of executed jobs in the recent history.

MEMLIMIT: Type float64 (default -1)

Limits the total amount of memory of a job (in GB, i.e., 10^9 bytes). If more is needed, Gurobi will fail with an OUT_OF_MEMORY error. Note that it is not possible to retrieve solution information after a termination error.

NODE_THREADLIMIT: Type int (default 0)

A limit on the number of threads that are allowed to run on the server at a time. Client requests beyond this limit are queued.

NOQUEUE: Type bool

Disables job queueing.

NO_CONSOLE: Type bool

Use --no-console to override on the command line.

Disables the console log.

NO_LOCAL_DISK: Type bool (default true)

Indicates that local disk may not be used by workers (to store node files, solution files, etc.). You can set this to false to permit local files if you are confident that local disk space won’t be exhausted.

PASSWORD: Type string

Client password to access the cluster. The password can be in clear or can be hashed using ‘grb_rs hash’ command for better security.

PORT: Type int

Use --port to override on the command line.

If more is needed, Gurobi will terminate with a MEM_LIMIT status code, leading to a graceful exit of the optimization, such that it is possible to retrieve solution information afterwards or (in the case of a MIP solve) resume the optimization.

STRICT_RUNTIME_MATCHING: Type bool (default true)

TLS: Type bool

Use --tls to override on the command line.

Enables TLS encryption protocol.

TLS_CERT: Type string

Use --tlscert to override on the command line.

Path to TLS certificate file. If not specified, a self-signed certificate will be generated.

If this property is set to true, only the administrator can access this information.

VERBOSE: Type bool

Use --verbose to override on the command line.

Enables verbose logging.

WLS_JOB_CONFIG: Type string
