Hi,
I have two questions concerning Thermal Shutdown feature in Deadline.
-Is it possible to send an e-mail when the sensor is unreachable? So before deadline starts shutting down slaves.
-Is it possible somehow to pause/suspend jobs on slaves when temperature is too high, instead of shutting down slaves.
Thank you and best wishes.

Hello,
For both of your questions, we don’t have anything built in to do what you’re looking for. I don’t know what happens when a sensor is unreachable but we can’t send an email about it. Ideally we’d be able to act when the temperature threshold is met. However there is only an event for when a slave shuts down due to heat, which is called ‘OnThermalShutdownCallback’.
I also can’t think of a way to build that yourself inside of Deadline. To suspend jobs based on temperature, you could make a script that suspends all jobs running on the slave, and run that script whenever the temperature gets too high.
If you’d like to explore building that, get back to us!
