Grevling

Grevling (meaning "badger" in Norwegian) is a highly configurable tool for

• running parametrized jobs,
• collecting outputs from these jobs,
• storing relevant results in a database, and
• querying and reporting based on the database.

Grevling is both a command-line tool as well as a Python library that provides an API to all the above.

Overview

A Grevling case is defined by a configuration file, written in the Gold language. Gold is a programmable configuration lanaguage created explicitly for use with Grevling. This configuration file is usually named grevling.gold and it defines, among other things:

• the parameters relevant to your case, their types and valid ranges,
• how to set up an instance of your job in an isolated environment,
• how to run the job, and
• which results to collect and how to interpret them.
