 ====Warewulf Top (wwtop)====
-Warewulf Top is a command line tool for monitoring the state of the cluster. Similar to the ''top'' command ''wwtop'' is part of the Warewulf cluster provisioning and management system used on Limulus HPC systems. ''wwtop'' has been augmented to work directly with Limulus systems. Real time CPU temperatures and frequencies are now reported. To run Warewulf Top enter:

 In addition to the temperature updates, ''wwtop'' now offers a new "one pass" option where a single report for all nodes is sent to the screen. This output is useful for grabbing snapshots of cluster activity. To provide a clean text output (no escape sequences) use the following command:

+==== Slurm Top (slop)====
+A real-time text-based Slurm "Top-like tool" called slop (SLurm tOP) is provided on all HPC Limulus systems. ''slop'' allows the batch queue and node status (similar to ''wwtop'' above) to be viewed from a text terminal. The screen will update every 20 seconds, but can be updated at any time by hitting the space bar. And example of the ''slop'' interface is shown below.
+{{ :wiki:slop-main.png?600 |}}
+The above example shows the Slurm batch queue in the top pane with job-ID partition, user, etc. The bottom pane displays the cluster nodes' metrics, similar to ''wwtop''. Pressing the ''h'' key will bring up the help menu (as shown below). Note: additional help with Slurm job states is also accessible by pressing the ''S'' key in the help menu.
+<code>
+Slop (SLurm tOP) displays node statistics and the batch queue on a cluster.
+The top window is the batch queue and the bottom window are the hosts. The
+windows update automatically and are scrollable with the arrow keys. A "+"
+indicates that the list will scroll further. Available options:
+  q - to quit userstat
+  h - to get this help
+  b - to make the batch window active
+  n - to make the nodes window active
+  spacebar - update windows (automatic update after 20 seconds)
+  up_arrow - to move though the jobs or nodes window
+  down_arrow - to move though the jobs or nodes window
+  Pg Up/Down - move a whole page in the jobs or nodes window
+Queue Window Commands:                  Host Window Commands:
+  j - sort on job-ID                     s - sort on system hostname
+  u - sort on user name                  a - redisplay all hosts
+  p - sort on program name               return - top snapshot for node
+  a - redisplay all jobs                 *nodename* means node is down
+  d - delete a job from the queue
+  return - display only the nodes for that job
+  (When sorting on multiple parameters all matches are displayed.)
+Press 'S' for Slurm Job State Help, or any other key to exit
+</code>
+A useful feature of ''slop'' is the the ability to "drill down" into job resources. For instance, if the cursor is placed on a job and then "Return" is pressed, only those nodes that are used by that particular job are displayed. In the following image, the node used for job 41622 is displayed in the lower pane.
+{{ :wiki:slop-node.png?600 |}}
+If more specific node information is needed, a standard ''top'' snapshot is returned when the cursor is placed
+on a node in the lower Host pane (switch to the host pane by entering "n") and entering "Return." A ''top'' snapshot for node ''n0'' (running job 41622 in the above image) is shown below.

 ======Data Analytics Cluster Monitoring======
+Data analytics systems (i.e. Hadoop/Spark/Kafka/etc.) are managed by [[ https://ambari.apache.org/|Apache Ambari]]. Ambari is a web-based management tool designed to make managing Hadoop clusters simpler. This includes provisioning, managing, and monitoring Apache Hadoop clusters (that often include tools like Spark, Kafka and others). Ambari provides an intuitive, easy-to-use Hadoop management web UI. An example of the Ambari dashboard is provided below. Basic Ambari usage is provided in the [[Using the Apache Ambari Cluster Manager|Using the Apache Ambari Cluster Manager]] section.
