[slurm-users] [External] Re: Filter slurm e-mail notification

[Florian Zillner]

Hi,

I guess you could use a lua script to filter out flags you don't want. I haven't tried it with mail flags, but I'm using a script like the one referenced to enforce accounts/time limits, etc.

Cheers,

I meant on the admin level, to prevent users spamming and overloading the mail server with wrong use of —mail flag.

Valid type values are NONE, BEGIN, END, FAIL, REQUEUE, ALL (equivalent to BEGIN, END, FAIL, REQUEUE, and STAGE_OUT), STAGE_OUT (burst buffer stage out and teardown completed), TIME_LIMIT, TIME_LIMIT_90 (reached 90 percent of time limit), TIME_LIMIT_80 (reached 80 percent of time limit), TIME_LIMIT_50 (reached 50 percent of time limit) and ARRAY_TASKS (send emails for each array task). Multiple type values may be specified in a comma separated list. The user to be notified is indicated with --mail-user. Unless the ARRAY_TASKS option is specified, mail notifications on job BEGIN, END and FAIL apply to a job array as a whole rather than generating individual email messages for each task in the job array.
