Group Usage Status Display

Hi there,

A newbie question: I’m trying to find a way to write a script that would display some graphs of current usages in render groups. For instance, bar graphs that show the current number of in use machines in Maya, Nuke, and After Effects render groups.

Where should I start?

Thanks!

Sidney

It is likely possible using outside methods, combined with some of the data available via deadlinecommand. There is no functionality built in, however. I think there may be plans to add more charting functions in a future build, but I am not sure the ETA or milestone that would be done by. The first step, to get a list of machines in each limit group, we would start with the GetLimitGroups command, and then if you have a coder who can write scripting to interpret that and use deadline command to get updates, I am sure you could code this functionality for yourself.
