 Description   
Since one of the last versions (probably 3.1.42) there is no "Jobs" column on the "Active Nodes Overview" anymore. This makes it very hard to check, on which node builds are running and which nodes are idle. Please add this column again!

Hi Josef,

This is removed as some users complain that the grid overview page loads very slowly if there are many nodes as currently QB needs to issue a remote call to the node to get the job information. Although this information is not available now, user can still get job information by selecting a node and switching to the jobs tab. In QB4, we can add back this column as job information will be cached on server.

Hi Robin,

I'm aware of getting this information by looking on each node's job page, but this is a Sisyphean task if there are more than a handful of nodes...
The page overview is limited to 25 nodes, why not only load the job information from the displayed nodes?
Nevertheless, is there timeline for QB4?

Regards,
Josef

Yes, QB only loads job information for displayed nodes. But even this is quite slow if some displayed nodes have problems. QB4 still needs about two months to be released due to some big changes, and next month we will release a milestone release demonstrating customizable user dashboard and report aggregation features. As a quick workaround, we will add some flag to next 3.1 patch release to re-enable the jobs/load column.

In 3.1.43, the jobs column can be added back by editing "conf/wrapper.conf" to add below entry:

wrapper.java.additional.5=-Dshow_jobs

the loads column can be added back by adding this entry:
wrapper.java.additional.6=-Dshow_loads
