sacctmgr

NAME

sacctmgr - Used to view and modify Slurm account information.

SYNOPSIS

sacctmgr [OPTIONS...] [COMMAND...]

DESCRIPTION

sacctmgr is used to view or modify Slurm account information. The account information is maintained within a database with the interface being provided by slurmdbd (Slurm Database daemon). This database can serve as a central storehouse of user and computer information for multiple computers at a single site. Slurm account information is recorded based upon four parameters that form what is referred to as an association. These parameters are user, cluster, partition, and account. user is the login name. cluster is the name of a Slurm managed cluster as specified by the ClusterName parameter in the slurm.conf configuration file. partition is the name of a Slurm partition on that cluster. account is the bank account for a job. The intended mode of operation is to initiate the sacctmgr command, add, delete, modify, and/or list association records then commit the changes and exit.

OPTIONS

-h, --help

Print a help message describing the usage of ssacctmgr. This is equivalent to the help command.

-i, --immediate

commit changes immediately.

-n, --no_header

No header will be added to the beginning of the output.

-o, --oneliner

Report output one record per line. This is equivalent to the oneliner command.

-p, --parsable

Output will be '|' delimited with a '|' at the end.

-P, --parsable2

Output will be '|' delimited without a '|' at the end.

-q, --quiet

Print no messages other than error messages. This is equivalent to the quiet command.

-r, --readonly

Makes it so the running sacctmgr can not modify accounting information. This is equivalent to the readonly command.

-s, --associations

Use with show or list to display associations with the entity. This is equivalent to the associations command.

-v, --verbose

Enable detailed logging. This is equivalent to the verbose command.

-V , --version

Display version number. This is equivalent to the version command.

COMMANDS

add <ENTITY> <SPECS>

Add an entity. Identical to the create command.

associations

Use with show or list to display associations with the entity.

create <ENTITY> <SPECS>

Add an entity. Identical to the add command.

delete <ENTITY> with <SPECS>

Delete the specified entities.

dump <ENTITY> with <ile=IFILENAME>

Dump cluster data to the specified file.

exit

Terminate sacctmgr. Identical to the quit command.

verbose

Enable detailed logging. This includes time-stamps on data structures, record counts, etc. This is an independent command with no options meant for use in interactive mode.

version

Display the version number of sacctmgr.

!!

Repeat the last command.

ENTITIES

account

A bank account, typically specified at job submit time using the --account= option. These may be arranged in a hierarchical fashion, for example accounts chemistry and physics may be children of the account science. The hierarchy may have an arbitrary depth.

association

The entity used to group information consisting of four parameters: account, cluster, partition (optional), and user.

cluster

The ClusterName parameter in the slurm.conf configuration file, used to differentiate accounts from on different machines.

coordinator

A special privileged user usually an account manager or such that can add users or sub accounts to the account they are coordinator over. This should be a trusted person since they can change limits on account and user associations inside their realm.
 

qos

Quality of Service (For use with MOAB only).

transaction

List of transactions that have occurred during a given time period.

user

The login name.

wckeys

Workload Characterization Key. An arbitrary string for grouping orthogonal accounts.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR ASSOCIATION BASED ENTITIES

(For use with MOAB only.) Specify the default Quality of Service's that jobs are able to run at for this account. To get a list of valid QOS's use 'sacctmgr list qos'. This value will override it's parents value and push down to it's children as the new default. Setting a QosLevel to '' (two single quotes with nothing between them) restores it's default setting. You can also use the operator += and -= to add or remove certain QOS's from a QOS list.

FLAT FILE DUMP AND LOAD

sacctmgr has the capability to load and dump SLURM association data to and from a file. This method can easily add a new cluster or copy an existing clusters associations into a new cluster with similar accounts. Each file contains SLURM association data for a single cluster. Comments can be put into the file with the # character. Each line of information must begin with one of the four titles; Cluster, Parent, Account or User. Following the title is a space, dash, space, entity value, then specifications. Specifications are colon separated. If any variable such as Organization has a space in it surround the name with single or double quotes.

To create a file of associations one can run

> sacctmgr dump tux file=tux.cfg
(file=tux.cfg is optional)

To load a previously created file you can run

> sacctmgr load file=tux.cfg

Other options for load are -

clean - delete what was already there and start from scratch with this information.
Cluster= - specify a different name for the cluster than that which is in the file.

Quick explanation how the file works.

Since the associations in the system follow a hierarchy so does the file. Any thing that is a parent needs to be defined before any children. The only exception is the understood 'root' account. This is always a default for any cluster and does not need to be defined.

To edit/create a file start with a cluster line for the new cluster

Cluster - cluster_name:MaxNodesPerJob=15

Anything included on this line will be the defaults for all associations on this cluster. These options are as follows...

GrpCPUMins=

Maximum number of CPU hours running jobs are able to be allocated in aggregate for this association and all association which are children of this association. (NOTE: This limit is not currently enforced in SLURM. You can still set this, but have to wait for future versions of SLURM before it is enforced.)

GrpCPUs=

Maximum number of CPUs running jobs are able to be allocated in aggregate for this association and all association which are children of this association. (NOTE: This limit is not currently enforced in SLURM. You can still set this, but have to wait for future versions of SLURM before it is enforced.)

GrpJobs=

Maximum number of running jobs in aggregate for this association and all association which are children of this association.

GrpNodes=

Maximum number of nodes running jobs are able to be allocated in aggregate for this association and all association which are children of this association.

GrpSubmitJobs=

Maximum number of jobs which can be in a pending or running state at any time in aggregate for this association and all association which are children of this association.

GrpWall=

Maximum wall clock time running jobs are able to be allocated in aggregate for this association and all association which are children of this association.

FairShare=

To be used with a scheduler like MOAB to determine priority.

MaxJobs=

Maximum number of jobs the children of this account can run.

MaxNodesPerJob=

Maximum number of nodes per job the children of this account can run.

MaxProcSecondsPerJob=

Maximum cpu seconds children of this accounts jobs can run.

MaxWallDurationPerJob=

Maximum time (not related to job size) children of this accounts jobs can run.

QOS=

Comma separated list of Quality of Service names (Defined in sacctmgr).

Followed by Accounts you want in this fashion...
Parent - root (Defined by default)
Account - cs:MaxNodesPerJob=5:MaxJobs=4:MaxProcSecondsPerJob=20:FairShare=399:MaxWallDurationPerJob=40:Description='Computer Science':Organization='LC'
Parent - cs
Account - test:MaxNodesPerJob=1:MaxJobs=1:MaxProcSecondsPerJob=1:FairShare=1:MaxWallDurationPerJob=1:Description='Test Account':Organization='Test'

Any of the options after a ':' can be left out and they can be in any order.

If you want to add any sub accounts just list the Parent THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN CREATED before the account line in this fashion...

All account options are

Description=

A brief description of the account.

GrpCPUMins=

GrpCPUs=

Maximum number of CPUs running jobs are able to be allocated in aggregate for this association and all association which are children of this association. (NOTE: This limit is not currently enforced in SLURM. You can still set this, but have to wait for future versions of SLURM before it is enforced.)

EXAMPLES

> sacctmgr create cluster tux
> sacctmgr create account name=science fairshare=50
> sacctmgr create account name=chemistry parent=science fairshare=30
> sacctmgr create account name=physics parent=science fairshare=20
> sacctmgr create user name=adam cluster=tux account=physics fairshare=10
> sacctmgr modify user where name=adam cluster=tux account=physics set
  maxjobs=2 maxwall=30:00
> sacctmgr list associations cluster=tux format=Account,Cluster,User,Fairshare tree withd
> sacctmgr list transactions StartTime=11/03\-10:30:00 format=Timestamp,Action,Actor
> sacctmgr dump cluster=tux file=tux_data_file
> sacctmgr load tux_data_file

When modifying an object placing the key words 'set' and the optional 'where' is critical to perform correctly below are examples to produce correct results. As a rule of thumb any thing you put in front of the set will be used as a quantifier. If you want to put a quantifier after the key word 'set' you should use the key word 'where'.

wrong> sacctmgr modify user name=adam set fairshare=10 cluster=tux

This will produce an error as the above line reads modify user adam set fairshare=10 and cluster=tux.

right> sacctmgr modify user name=adam cluster=tux set fairshare=10
right> sacctmgr modify user name=adam set fairshare=10 where cluster=tux

(For use with MOAB only) When changing qos for something only use the '=' operator when wanting to explicitly set the qos to something. In most cases you will want to use the '+=' or '\-=' operator to either add to or remove from the existing qos already in place.

If a user already has qos of normal,standby for a parent or it was explicitly set you should use qos+=expedite to add this to the list in this fashion.

> sacctmgr modify user name=adam set qos+=expedite

If you are looking to only add the qos expedite to only a certain account and or cluster you can do that by specifing them in the sacctmgr line.

> sacctmgr modify user name=adam acct=this cluster=tux set qos+=expedite
