Hello, thanks for the update. One thing I forgot to mention is we hard code our Selectors, which means one Selector = one Server object. It would be very useful to have a BuildForge feature that checks if the box is too busy to start the job and if it is then log a message stating something like "the box is too busy to run the job" as "Selector cannot choose a Server" is cryptic and very generic to end users and BuildForge admins.
Question - Can we get a feature added to return "the server is too busy to run the job" or something similar? We don't need the rest of the manifest info most of the time. We do need BuildForge to tell us when the box is too busy to run a job. I have to login to the box and run a top command to find that info myself which is a time waster as BuildForge can get that info for us - the problem is that the feature to do it does not exist.
Thank you for your information. In fact, it is a balance between performance and accuracy when we designed this feature. If the information collection is trigerred by job execution. Once many jobs are executed in a short time, the network traffic cost will be huge and in most of cases, the information is duplicated. That's the reason we have a system parameter to collect server information periodically (default is 120s). Welcome to have more discussion with me.
