[slurm-users] sacctmgr archive example

[Lyn Gerner]

Hi Sven,

You'll probably be better served by switching your purge time units to
hours instead of months; this will provoke purging much smaller amounts of
data, much more frequently (once per hour instead of once per month). Also,
depending on your job throughput, and how long your DB has been storing
records, you might find even that smaller amount of purge activity too
impactful on DB performance. If that's the case, you could start, for
example, with the hours equivalent to 15 months (10800 hrs), and decrement
that value over a period of days down to your 12-month (8640 hrs) target.

Best,
Lyn
