[slurm-users] Question about sacct

[Zohar Roe MLM]

Hi Chris,

The AccountingStorageType is to a file. You probably are right about the long time because of the size (A few giga in size).

Maybe this also affect my first question about the wrong status (Since the reading time takes too long).

Is there any problem cleaning this file every month (except from losing the history of course)?

Thanks,
Roy.

Is accounting setup to use a slurmdbd/database backend or file (AccountingStorageType)?
3 minutes could make sense if data are being stored in a (large) flat file.

Hello,

Trying to understand some problems with "sacct " command.

I sent 10 jobs to slurm and I can see them all running in with squeue command.

Now, when I am running "sacct –j 398000" to check one of the jobs, I see two problems:


  1.  Its take the sacct command about 3 minutes to return results. Is that ok? Its seems a lot of time for information on one job.
  2.  Under "State" I see "PENDING". Why is that? Shouldn't that be like that state in the squeue (which is Running)? When the job finish I see that it is "COMPLETED" in the sacct.

I think I didn't understand the sacct…

Thanks,
Roy.
