5.617 Configuring MOMs to Launch a Health Check

The health check feature is configured via the mom_priv/config file using the parameters described below:

Parameter	Format	Default	Description
$node_check_script	<STRING>	N/A	(Required) Specifies the fully qualified pathname of the health check script to run
$node_check_interval	<INTEGER>	1	(Optional) Specifies the number of MOM intervals between health checks (by default, each MOM interval is 45 seconds long - this is controlled via the $status_update_time node parameter. The integer may be followed by a list of event names ( jobstart and jobend are currently supported). See pbs_mom for more information. xref>. The node health check may be configured to run before the prologue script by including the "jobstart" option. However, the job environment variables are not in the health check at that point.
