Arc info

Overview

Usage:

: arcinfo [OPTION...] [resource ...]

The arcinfo command is used for obtaining the status of computing resources on the Grid.

Target endpoint selection:

-C, --computing-element=ce: computing element hostname or a complete endpoint URL

-Y, --registry=registry: registry service URL with optional specification of protocol

-Q, --info-endpoint-type=type: require information query using the specified information endpoint type.

: Special value 'NONE' will disable all resource information queries and the following brokering. Allowed values are: ldap.nordugrid, ldap.glue2, arcrest and internal.

-T, --submission-endpoint-type=type: only get information about executon targets that support this job submission endpoint type.

: Allowed values are: arcrest and internal.

Brokering and filtering:

-R, --rejectdiscovery=URL: skip the service with the given URL during service discovery

Output format modifiers:

-l, --long: long format (more information)

Behaviour tuning:

--no-authentication: do not perform any authentication for opened connections

--x509-authentication: perform X.509 authentication for opened connections

--token-authentication: perform token authentication for opened connections

--systemca: force using CA certificates configuration provided by OpenSSL

--gridca: force using CA certificates configuration for Grid services (typically IGTF)

Other actions:

-P, --listplugins: list the available plugins

Application Options:

-h, --help: Show help options

-z, --conffile=filename: configuration file (default ~/.arc/client.conf)

-t, --timeout=seconds: timeout in seconds (default 20)

-d, --debug=debuglevel: FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, VERBOSE or DEBUG

-v, --version: print version information

Extended description

The arcinfo command is used to get the status and information about computing elements. You can specify the URLs of CE endpoint with the --computing-element option, or by just listing them as arguments. The --registry flag can be used to specify an registry server which should be queried for CEs endpoints.

Detailed information about queried computing services can be obtained by specifying the --long flag.

Files

~/.arc/client.conf: Some options can be given default values by specifying them in the ARC client configuration file. By using the --conffile option a different configuration file can be used than the default.
