NodePit Runner
Run Your Workflows and Scripts Around The Clock!
NodePit Runner is the perfect complement to the KNIME Analytics Platform and allows you to deploy, execute and monitor your KNIME workflows in the cloud or on-premises as easy as running them locally. Login to NodePit Runner, select your favorite KNIME environment, create a schedule and upload a workflow… from now on your workflow will be executed at regular intervals without any further actions by you. Super easy!
NodePit Runner is organized around an unlimited number of projects. Projects can be used to group environments, files, schedules and runs by topic or purpose, and can be easily shared with other users using fine-grained permissions management.
NodePit Runner coordinates runs and delegates their execution to executors. Executors are physical or virtual machines that execute scripts or workflows based on defined schedules within assigned environments.
Environments describe the fixed setup in which a workflow will be executed. NodePit Runner allows to define an unlimited number of enviroments that can be quickly modified and easily assigned to your schedules.
For each environment, various parameters can be set according to your needs and requirements. Pin it to a fixed KNIME version, specify extensions that need to be preinstalled, define preference files and entries, or customise JVM arguments. No server administrator needed!
Schedules describe "how" your workflow is executed. NodePit Runner allows you to define an unlimited number of schedules that can be easily modified and paused at any time.
Each schedule consists of a workflow and a plan that specifies when and how often your workflow should run. If required, you can also specify additional settings such as workflow variables or workflow credentials.
Runs are concrete executions of schedules within an environment. Have your runs triggered automatically by your schedule, run a schedule on demand whenever you need results, or trigger them using the NodePit Runner API.
Follow your runs in real time, check their status, download the executed workflow and any output you may have written during execution. All at your fingertips.
