Worker Layout
- The list of hosts and their statuses
- Information related to the selected host. Current tabs are "Host Properties" and "Host Configuration" - both described below.
- A list of work being done by the selected host - either frames or instances, depending on the selected tab.
Worker Details Tabs
- Host Properties: Displays general information about this host. This tab will always have data, regardless of whether or not the host is active.
- Host Configuration: Displays the running configuration of the worker. This tab will only be populated if the worker is running and responding to the supervisor.
Locking / Unlocking Workers
You can highlight a Worker and then use the right mouse button to lock and unlock that worker. Locking a Worker may be necessary if desktop machines are also added to the farm, and you want to exclude your machine from being used as a Worker while you are doing interactive work. See also this page for additional details. In addition, there is QubeLocker, a small application which allows a more nuanced approach to accepting jobs onto your machine.
- Lock Host (+ Purge) will kick off any running jobs and lock the Worker
- Lock Host (+ Finish Current) will allow any running jobs to finish, and then lock the Worker
- Unlock Host will allow jobs to be picked up by this Worker
