Custom Engine Properties

You can create your own custom Engine properties, and give them values using the GridServer Administration Tool. To do so, first, create the property on the Manager, and then give it a value for each Engine, either from the GridServer Administration Tool or programmatically with the Admin API.

To create new custom Engine properties and give them values with the Administration Tool:

1.

In the GridServer Administration Tool, go to Grid Components > Engines > Engine Properties.

2.

In the upper right corner, click Add.

3.

Enter a property name and a brief description, then click Add. You can now set a value to this property on any Engine.

4.

Go to Grid Components > Engines > Daemon Admin and select Set Property for Daemons on Page or Set Property for All Daemons from the Global Actions list. This displays the user-defined properties you can set on Engines started by a Daemon.

5.

Select one or more Engine Daemons from the list, then select a predefined property and enter a value, or enter a new property name and assign a value.

Instead of 3-4, you can also use the Admin API on a Driver to programmatically set them.
