[slurm-users] [EXT] slurmctld.log over 500 MB

[Sean Crosby]

Hi Felix,

>From one of the recent Slurm user group meetings, the recommended way to logrotate the Slurm logs is to send SIGUSR2.

My logrotate entry is

/var/log/slurm/slurmctld.log {
  compress
  missingok
  nocopytruncate
  nocreate
  delaycompress
  nomail
  notifempty
  noolddir
  rotate 5
  sharedscripts
  size 5M
  create 640 slurm root
  postrotate
    pkill -x --signal SIGUSR2 slurmctld
    exit 0
  endscript
}

And that seems to work fine for us

[root at spartan-ctl1 ~]# ls -la /var/log/slurm/

Hello

my slurmctld.log is 600 MB.

I am looking for a functional method to have  log rotate system for slurmctld.log. There is none for slurm now on my system. I have slurm 20.02 on my system.

Is there any possibility?

Thank you

Felix
