The Coordinator Display

The Coordinator display shows the current status of the IncrediBuild environment.

The following information is displayed for each Agent (note that you can change the columns displayed by right-clicking any of the columns. Only some of the columns will be displayed by default):

• Icon: An icon representing the Agent's current status and activity.
• Agent: The network name of the computer running the Agent. If a description was given for the computer in the Agent Settings dialog Network->Coordinator page or in the Computer Management application's Network Identification settings, this will appear below the computer name.
• Packages: Displayed only after a license file has been activated, this column displays which extension packages are used by each IncrediBuild Agent. For more information on extension packages, see the section on activating your license.
• Status: One of the following:
        Idle - Not doing anything.
        Building - Running a locally initiated build.
        Working for x - Agent is currently participating in a distributed build initiated by a remote Agent.
        Disabled or Enabled - Current status of the Agent. Disabled Agents will have a red diagonal line across the graphic representing them.
        Assigning to x - An intermediate state indicating that the Agent is being assigned to perform remote tasks for a remote Agent.
        Offline - Agent is not available, either because the computer has been shut down or because the Agent service has been stopped. Unavailable Agents will appear in grayed-out text.
        Initializing - This status should only appear for the first 10 seconds of the Agent service's activity.
        Unsubscribed - Agent is awaiting subscription to this Coordinator. For more information read the section on Agent Subscription.
        Incompatible Version - Agent is running a different version of IncrediBuild than the Coordinator's. Agents running an incompatible version will not be able to participate in distributed builds.
• Work Power: For Machines in "Building" status, this shows the total actual CPU power at their disposal, derived from the hardware and current availability of all machines participating as resources in the build. The number of Agents and CPUs participating in the build is shown below.
• CPU Information: A description of computer's CPU hardware as detected by IncrediBuild.
• Build Progress: For Agents currently building, this column will display the build progress bar for that Agent's build.
• CPU Speed: The computer's central processing unit speed, along with the current level of CPU availability (the latter will decrease as the machine turns busier with other tasks).
• Disk Space: Total and available disk space on the Agent machine (not displayed by default).
• Physical Memory: Total and available physical memory on the Agent machine (not displayed by default).
• Up Time: Accumulated time since the IncrediBuild Agent service on that machine was last started (not displayed by default).
• File Cache: The size, in Megabytes, of the file used by the Agent to cache remote files. Both the total size and the portion currently in use are displayed. If an Agent's file cache is too small (excessive swapping out of files from the cache), a red note recommending to increase the swapfile size will appear in this column. You can then use the Agent menu File Cache->Resize command to increase that Agent's file cache size.
• Remote Admin: Shows whether this Agent is authorized to remotely administer the Coordinator service.
• OS Version: Operating System type and version used on the Agent machine (not displayed by default).
• Logging Level:The logging level currently enabled for the Agent. This value should be "Minimal" unless otherwise requested by the Xoreax Support team.
• Last Connected:Date and time the Agent was last connected to the Coordinator (not displayed by default).
• Virtual Memory: Total and available virtual memory on the Agent machine (not displayed by default).
• IP Address: The TCP/IP Address and port being used by the Agent on that machine (not displayed by default).
• Allow Disable: Whether it is possible for the Agent to enter "Disabled" mode (not displayed by default).
• Avail Power: The current level of available CPU power, in MHz. also displayed in the "CPU Speed" column (not displayed by default).
• Avail CPU: The current level of CPU availability, shown as a percentage of the maximal CPU power (not displayed by default).
• Visual Studio Version: All versions of MS Visual Studio installed on the Agent machine (not displayed by default).
• Build Group: The Build group this Agent belongs to.
• Routing IP Address: The IP Address used by the Coordinator to connect to the Agent (not displayed by default).
• Network: The network adapter name, description and speed (in Mbps) of the selected Agent's currently active connection (not displayed by default).
• .NET Framework Version: The .NET Framework version on the Agent machine (not displayed by default).
• Description:The Agent Description, as defined in the Agent Settings dialog Network->Coordinator page or in the Computer Management application's Network Identification settings. This value is also displayed in the bottom line of the "Agent" column.
• Assignment Priority:The priority given to this Agent by the Coordinator when considering which remote Agents to assign to a running build. Agents with a higher value will be assigned more often to builds.
• Remote Task Priority:The process priority given by this Agent to processes serving a build started by another Agent.
