Benchmarks – Job Type

With Cloudhouse Guardian (Guardian), you can schedule a benchmark job for a node, or node group, according to a specified schedule. This job type runs any benchmarks that are associated with the specified node, or node group. The following topic describes how to add a scheduled 'Benchmark' job type. For this job, there are two types to choose from:

Type

Description

Benchmarks – Node

 Runs any benchmarks that are applied to the node group(s) that the specified node has been added to.
Benchmarks – Node Group

Runs the benchmarks that are applied to that node group. By default, this job type will not run benchmarks from other node groups, even if they apply to the nodes within that group.

Note: To enable all benchmarks to be run, including those from other node groups, the Run all Benchmarks checkbox must be selected.
