Monitor Your Torrent Server and Torrent Suite Software

Use the admin Services tab to view the current status of the essential system services:

Access the Services tab from the admin gear menu and select Services :

Icon

The Job Server and ionCrawler services should always be active. The Archive service is only active if archiving has been configured.If a service is no longer active, refer to the Troubleshooting page .

Jobs Server service

The Jobs Server panel lists services used by Torrent Suite Software.

During normal operation each service's status is "Running". A status of "Down" indicates the service should be restarted.

Active Jobs

When no job is currently active, thepanel displays a No active jobs message:

Start a job

Job requests are initiated by clicking the Analyze button in the Runs Tab for a given run or by specified auto-analysis on the Ion PGM, Ion Proton, or Ion S5 s equencer for the run. After data transfer following an Ion PGM, Ion Proton, or Ion S5 sequencer auto-analysis completes, an analysis job starts automatically for that run.

Up to two jobs can be run concurrently, by default, using the Sun Grid Engine (SGE). Running jobs in parallel results in a longer run time for each job but gives a shorter overall processing time compared to running the jobs concurrently.

Stop a job

In the Active Jobs panel, you can stop a job by clicking Terminate on the line for the job:

ionCrawler service

The ionCrawler panel displays information about processes that transfer data from Ion PGM, Ion Proton, and Ion S5 sequencers to the Torrent Server.
