## 7.10. Fluent server-mode jobs failing or not showing live monitors

When running a batch job using the Fluent job template, note the following:

- If Parallel processing is selected, ensure that the queue you select uses a shared scratch directory. The job may fail if submitted to a queue that uses a local scratch directory.

- On Linux queues, when Parallel processing is selected, passwordless SSH access must be set up for each cluster node.

- When submitting a Fluent job to a Windows cluster, non-compiled UDFs are not supported.

- Features introduced in current or recent releases of EKM, such as live job monitoring, may not be available in EKM if you choose a solver from an older release.

- EKM will only display surface or volume monitors if the case file specifies that data from these monitors is to be written to a file. If the case file specifies that data from surface or volume monitors is to be plotted in the graphics window or printed to the console, those monitors will not be displayed in the Monitors pane in EKM. For more information about these options see Monitoring Surface Integrals and Monitoring Volume Integrals in the Fluent User’s Guide.

- In Fluent, when you are defining the file to which monitor data will be written, ensure that you specify a filename only (for example, `surf-monitor-1.out`) — not a path. Fluent sets an absolute path for this file. If this path does not exist on the EKM server, the monitor data will not be written, and the monitor will not be displayed in EKM.
