[slurm-users] can't lengthen my jobs log

[Sebastian T Smith]

Hi John,

Have you tried specifying a start time?  The default is 00:00:00 of the current day (depending on other options).  Example:

sacct -S 2020-11-01T00:00:00

Our accounting database retains all job data from the epoch of our system.

Best,

Sebastian

Subject: [slurm-users] can't lengthen my jobs log

Hi,

My jobs database empties after about 1 day. "sacct -a" returns no results. I've tried to lengthen that, but have been unsuccessful. I've tried adding the following to slurmdbd.conf and restarting slurmdbd:
ArchiveJobs=yes
PurgeEventAfter=1month
PurgeJobAfter=12month
PurgeResvAfter=1month
PurgeStepAfter=1month
PurgeSuspendAfter=1month
PurgeTXNAfter=12month
PurgeUsageAfter=24month
No job archives appear (in the default /tmp dir) either. What I'd like to do is have the slurm database retain information on jobs for at least a few weeks, writing out data beyond that threshold to files, but mainly I just want to keep job data in the database for longer.

Regards,
John
