Install requirements

Install OKA

Start services

sudo systemctl start oka.service

Run diagnostic to check OKA’s state

${OKA_INSTALL_DIR}/current/bin/tools/diagnostic.sh

Create OKA admin user

See OKA administrator.

${OKA_INSTALL_DIR}/current/bin/tools/manage-superuser.sh

Connect to OKA

Create your first cluster

See Cluster selection.

OKA provides two ways to ingest data (see Upload data):

  • Using job scheduler log files: See Retrieve job scheduler data.

    Warning

    Always upload in the chronological order to avoid errors.

  • Using a direct connection to the job scheduler.

    Note

    This works only with job scheduler Slurm for the time being.

    Warning

    Do not forget to set the Timezone properly.

Upon trial, we usually suggest to dive into OKA using upload from files as it is an easy way to start looking at part of the data quickly and see what can be done with the tool.
