# KSPMonitorSet

Sets an ADDITIONAL function to be called at every iteration to monitor the residual/error etc.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscksp.h"
    #include "petscmat.h"
    PetscErrorCode  KSPMonitorSet(KSP ksp,PetscErrorCode (*monitor)(KSP,PetscInt,PetscReal,void*),void *mctx,PetscErrorCode (*monitordestroy)(void**))

Logically Collective on ksp

### Input Parameters

| ksp | - iterative context obtained from KSPCreate()
| monitor | - pointer to function (if this is NULL, it turns off monitoring
| mctx | - [optional] context for private data for the monitor routine (use NULL if no context is desired)
| monitordestroy | - [optional] routine that frees monitor context (may be NULL)

### Calling Sequence of monitor

        monitor (KSP ksp, PetscInt it, PetscReal rnorm, void *mctx)

| ksp | - iterative context obtained from KSPCreate()
| it | - iteration number
| rnorm | - (estimated) 2-norm of (preconditioned) residual
| mctx | - optional monitoring context, as set by KSPMonitorSet()

### Options Database Keys

| -ksp_monitor | - sets KSPMonitorResidual()
| -ksp_monitor draw | - sets KSPMonitorResidualDraw() and plots residual
| -ksp_monitor draw::draw_lg | - sets KSPMonitorResidualDrawLG() and plots residual
| -ksp_monitor_pause_final | - Pauses any graphics when the solve finishes (only works for internal monitors)
| -ksp_monitor_true_residual | - sets KSPMonitorTrueResidual()
| -ksp_monitor_true_residual draw::draw_lg | - sets KSPMonitorTrueResidualDrawLG() and plots residual
| -ksp_monitor_max | - sets KSPMonitorTrueResidualMax()
| -ksp_monitor_singular_value | - sets KSPMonitorSingularValue()
| -ksp_monitor_cancel | - cancels all monitors that have been hardwired into a code by calls to KSPMonitorSet(), but does not cancel those set via the options database.

### Notes

The default is to do nothing. To print the residual, or preconditioned residual if KSPSetNormType(ksp,KSP_NORM_PRECONDITIONED) was called, use KSPMonitorResidual() as the monitoring routine, with a ASCII viewer as the context.

Several different monitoring routines may be set by calling KSPMonitorSet() multiple times; all will be called in the order in which they were set.

### Fortran Notes

Only a single monitor function can be set for each KSP object
