GRID-MONITOR(1) GRID-MONITOR(1)
NAME
monitor - graphical display for viewing resource use.
SYNOPSIS
command | grid/srv/monitor interface [ wintitle ]
DESCRIPTION
Monitor is designed to work with resources that deal with
incoming connections (such as register(1)) to visually dis-
play the connections to a specific resource. Interface sets
the style of interface, this can be 1 or 2. Interface 1 is
the simplest, displaying only a list of connections to the
resource. Interface 2 is slightly more complex, allowing
extra data to be displayed for each connection. While inter-
face 1 shows all the connections at any one time, interface
2 displays a selection of 'slots' which have buttons that
light up to signify a connection. Clicking on a lit button
will display any data given about that connection in the
main window. Wintitle optionally sets the title of the
monitor window. Command must write status messages to
stdout which are then read and displayed (if appropriate) by
monitor. Monitor reads on stdin and accepts the following
input:
Interface 1
add addr display a connection from
address addr
del addr remove a connection from
address addr
Interface 2
data set id { data } set and display the string
data in slot id.
