Main box:

Services that should be running:

citrix-ci-gerritwatch: Watches the gerrit stream and adds jobs to the queue
- Logs: /var/log/citrix-ci-gerritwatch.log
- (Re)start: restart citrix-ci-gerritwatch / start citrix-ci-gerritwatch
citrix-ci: Progresses jobs through the lifecycle (see below)
- Logs: /var/log/citrix-ci.log
- (Re)start: restart citrix-ci / start citrix-ci
nodepool: Provisions VMs to use in the tests
- Logs: /var/log/nodepool/nodepool.log, /var/log/nodepool/debug.log
- (Re)start: killall nodepool; rm /var/run/nodepool/nodepool.pid; start nodepool

Useful commands:

osci-view list: Gives current queue, what is running etc. Shouldn't have jobs in here that are 'older' than 2 hours unless they are 'Finished'.
nodepool list: Gives a list of the currently available nodes. Should have some nodes that are 'Ready' or 'Building'

VM lifecycle

Queued -> Running: citrix-ci job has got a new node from nodepool (nodepool list will show it as 'held')
Running -> Collecting
Collecting -> Collected
Collected -> Finished
