G'Day all,
I have 3 years worth of job records in the slurm DB and we do not have any need to actually track anything at this stage, I would like to keep 12months worth of jobs so I need to purge 2 years worth at some point..
Is there a command to issue via scontrol to kick off a SlurmPurge using the values in the slurmdbd.conf file (currently these are 1000days, so I can see a few dozen records disappear before I shorten it to 365days in incremental steps).
Sid

You need to set database purge parameters in slurmdbd.conf, but do it in increments first as explained in this Wiki page: https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_database/#setting-database-p...
IHTH, Ole
Hi Sid,
The slurmdbd triggers purges as explained in the Wiki page:
The purge operation is done at the start of each time interval (see bug_4295), which means on the 1st day of the month in this example. Monthly, daily or even hourly purge operations would occur when using different time units for the same interval:
PurgeStepAfter=2months PurgeStepAfter=60days PurgeStepAfter=1440hours
So you have to wait for 1 day if you have set 1000days before seeing log lines in slurmdbd.log.
