[slurm-users] [EXTERNAL] Re: Information about finished jobs

[Greg Wickham]

As others have commented, some information is lost when it is stored in the database.

To keep historically accurate data on the job run a script (refer to PrologSlurmctld in slurm.conf) that runs an "scontrol show -d job <jobid>" and drops it into a local file.

Using " PrologSlurmctld" is neat, as it is executed on the slurmctld host when the job is being launched. (interestingly the job state will be shown as "CONFIGURING").

Side note - using "-d " with scontrol will provide accurate allocation of resources on each node (specific CPUs, specific GPUs, and memory).

    Hi all,

    A related question, on my setup, scontrol show job displays the standard
    output, standard error redirections as well as the wd, whereas this info is
    lost after completion when sacct is required. Is this something that's
    configurable so that this info is preserved with sacct?

    Cheers,

    A
