[slurm-users] 答复: Is there bug in PrivateData=jobs option of slurmdbd?

I can make sure the test job is running (of course in the default time
window) when doing sacct query, and here is the new test record which
describe it more clearly:

I suspect your job fell out of the default time window for sacct.

Add a time window that you know includes when the job ran and you will
likely see it.

Hello,

 

We find a strange behavior about sacct and PrivateData option of slurmdbd.
Our original configuration is setting “PrivateData =
accounts,jobs,usage,users,reservations” in slurm.conf and not setting
“PrivateData” in slurmdbd.conf. At this point, common user can see all
others job information with sacct. Now we add option “PrivateData =jobs”
to slurmdbd.conf, then common users even can’t see their own jobs using
sacct.

 

According.to https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurmdbd.conf.html , setting “jobs”
in PrivateData should only prevent user from viewing others’ job. Why it
also hide jobs submit by user itself from sacct query?

 

The test records as below:
