[slurm-users] unused job data fields?

[Tina Friedrich]

...not sure I'm adding anything to this discussion, but we have used the various comment fields to store extra information for internal purposes - sometimes JSON format strings so it can be parsed by scripts etc. I even once managed to mod the Elasticsearch plugin so that the comment field made it into elastic, and that meant I could immediately graph the information :)

The fields available from the Slurm database are listed in the sacct
manual page under the --helpformat heading.  See also the section on Job
Accounting Fields.
