5.295 Routing

Plugin routing is currently in Beta. Interfaces may change significantly in future releases.

Because Moab Web Services is configured as a Resource Manager (RM) in Moab Workload Manager, events are sometimes triggered by Moab through the RM interface. These actions could be migrating a virtual machine, starting a job, submitting a job, modifying a node, and so forth. The decisions regarding which plugins are affected and notified is termed routing.

Currently all plugins receive all commands from Moab. This means that each plugin will receive the command to start a job if sent from Moab, even if that plugin does not handle the job. This means that plugins must ensure they handle actions or commands only for resources which they report or handle.
