System and method for providing object triggers

A method comprising:

• attaching a trigger to a job that is associated with a reservation of compute resources within a compute environment, wherein the trigger is arbitrary and user customizable;
• monitoring activities at a node via a node monitor;
• and
• upon detection of a specific activity at the node, firing the trigger to modify an attribute of the node, wherein the compute environment is managed by a workload manager that reserves, at a first time, the compute resources in the compute environment to yield the reservation, and wherein the job consumes the compute resources associated with the reservation at a second time which is later than the first time.

A method of modifying a compute environment having at least one node, the method comprising:

• associating a trigger with a job that is associated with a reservation of compute resources within the compute environment;
• monitoring activities of the at least one user associated with a threshold parameter;
• and
• upon detecting that the monitored activities of the at least one user fail to pass the threshold parameter, firing the trigger to modify the compute environment to attempt to enable the modified compute environment to accommodate the at least one user's activities at the threshold parameter, wherein the compute environment is managed by a workload manager that reserves, at a first time, the compute resources in the compute environment to yield the reservation, and wherein the job consumes the compute resources associated with the reservation at a second time which is later than the first time.

A system for controlling a compute environment, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for controlling the processor to perform steps comprising:
• attaching a trigger to a job that is associated with a reservation of compute resources;
• and
• firing the trigger based on a trigger attribute, wherein the compute environment is modified by an action that is initiated when the trigger is fired, wherein the compute environment is managed by a workload manager that reserves, at a first time, the compute resources in the compute environment to yield the reservation, and wherein the job consumes the compute resources associated with the reservation at a second time which is later than the first time.

A system of modifying a compute environment, the system comprising:
