PlatformServiceContainer status values

Status values in a station’s PlatformServices container include the following:
  • Name

    Name of running station.

  • Host

    IP address of host platform.

  • Model

    Model of host platform type, such as NMP6, JACE-8000, or Workstation. See “Models of platforms” on page 19 for further details.

  • Host ID

    Niagara host identifier, a string unique to this one machine.

  • Niagara Version

    Version and build number of the Niagara distribution running in the host platform.

  • Java VM Name

    Java virtual machine used, for example, “Java HotSpot(TM) Embedded Client VM” for any N4 controller, or “Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit ServerVM” for a Supervisor on a Windows host.

  • Java VM Vendor

    Vendor for Java VM: Oracle Corporation.

  • Java VM Version

    Version of Java VM, for example, “25.0-b 70” for the Java 8 compact3 VM on a controller, or “25.31-b07” for the Java 8 SE VM on a Windows host.

  • OS Name

    Operating System name, such as “QNX” or “Windows 7.”

  • OS Arch.

    Machine architecture for OS, such as “arm” or “ppc” (controller hosts) or “amd64” (Windows hosts).

  • OS Version

    Operating System version, such as “6.5.0” (QNX) or “6.1” (Windows 7).

  • Platform Daemon Port

    Port number on which the platform daemon that started the station is listening for its platform server (3011, or another port number). This can prove useful in case you changed the platform port (see “Change HTTP Port” on page 57), but then forgot what the new port is.

  • Platform Daemon TLS Port

    Port number on which the platform daemon is listening for its platform TLS server (5011, or another port number, provided that platform TLS enabled). If platform TLS is disabled, it reads Unknown. This can prove useful in case you changed the platform TLS port (see “Change SSL Settings” on page 57), but then forgot what the new port is.

     
    NOTE: In the container plugin, most of the remaining entries are configuration parameters. However a few status values are also mixed in, and are described below.
     
  • Number of CPUs

    Number of CPUs used in the host platform (typically 1 if a controller, more if a Windows host).

  • Current CPU Usage

    Percentage of CPU utilization in the last second.

  • Overall CPU Usage

    Percentage of CPU utilization since the last reboot.

  • Filesystem

    File storage statistics for the host, including total file space, available (free) space, and file block size (minimum size for even the smallest file). For a JACE-8000 host, it may look similar to:

                   Total         Free      Files  Max Files
        /        3,476,464 KB 3,039,088 KB  602     108640

    /mnt/ram0        8,192 KB     8,192 KB    0          0
  • Physical RAM

    Current total and free RAM statistics for the host. For a JACE-8000, it may look similar to:

         Total       Free

  • Serial Number

    (Appears only if a JACE host). The controller’s unique serial number.

  • Hardware Revision

    (Appears only if a JACE host). Hardware revision of the controller.

  • Hardware Jumper Preset

    (Applies only if a JACE host, except for a JACE-8000) Either true or false—indicates whether or not the mode jumper is installed for “serial shell mode” access. Read at boot time only. See “System shell” in the JACE Niagara 4 Install & Startup Guide.
