NODELIST is a list of any of the available nodes for load balancing.

3.8. Starting and Stopping the NX Sensor Daemon
The nxsensor daemon which runs in the background is used to produce statistics about the node
machine
that can be elaborated by the nxstat daemon and displayed by the NX Server Manager Web
application.
The EnableSensor key must be activated in the /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg configuration file:
EnableSensor = "1"
The following configuration keys are set in the node configuration file according to your needs:
StatisticsHost = "127.0.0.1"
The hostname or IP address where the nxstat
daemon,
in charge of collecting and elaborating data
provided by
nxsensor, will be assumed to run.
NodeSensorPort = "19250"
The port where the NX server will contact
nxsensor daemon to collect the statistics data.
The key is also used by nxsensor to know the
network interface where it will listen for incoming
connections.
The commands to handle the nxsensor daemon, in charge of producing data related to the node
host, are:
nxnode --sensor start nxnode --sensor restart nxnode --sensor stop
