Robustness
- The rate at which jobs are being started can now be controlled using the
system.job-rate-control
configuration stanza. - A load controller service has been added to allow Cromwell to self-monitor and adjust its load accordingly.
The load controller is currently a simple on/off switch controlling the job start rate. It gathers metrics from different parts of the system
to inform its decision to stop the creation of jobs.
You can find relevant configuration in theservices.LoadController
section of thecromwell.examples.conf
file,
as well as in theload-control
section inreference.conf
.
The load level of the monitored sub-systems are instrumented and can be found under thecromwell.load
statsD path. - The statsD metrics have been re-shuffled a bit. If you had a dashboard you might find that you need to update it.
Changes include:- Removed artificially inserted "count" and "timing" the path

load

cromwell
