Hello!
We also see this. But in both clusters one is configured with jobacct_gather/linux and the other with jobacct_gather/cgroup. Both cluster are in one setup (slurmdbd)
Best!

Hi,
We have noticed the same issue: when using JobAcctGatherType=jobacct_gather/linux, the reported CPU usage is 0 for all steps. If the user only use sbatch without using any step (so no srun) then the value is correct.
jobacct_gather/cgroup reports correct values for CPU, but wrong values for memory so pick your poison (cf. https://groups.google.com/g/slurm-users/c/tlFA2e74wZc ). If CPU usage is what matters to you, you should probably switch to jobacct_gather/cgroup if you don't use it already.
