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.
- Note:
- The content's of SLURM's database are maintained in lower case. This may
result in some sacctmgr output differing from that of other SLURM
commands.
OPTIONS
- -h, --help
- Print a help message describing the usage of sacctmgr. This is equivalent to the help command.
- -i, --immediate

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.
Used only with the list or show command. Add, modify, and
delete should be done to a user, account or cluster entity. This will
in-turn update the underlying associations.
- cluster
-
The ClusterName parameter in the slurm.conf configuration
file, used to differentiate accounts from on different machines.
- configuration
-
Used only with the list or show command to report current
system configuration.
- 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.
- event
-
Events like downed or draining nodes on clusters.
- job
-
Job - but only two specific fields of the job: Derived Exit Code and
the Comment String
- qos
-
Quality of Service.
- 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
- DefaultQOS=<default qos>
-
The default QOS this association and its children should have.
This is overridden if set directly on a user.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new value of -1.
NOTE: When read in from the slurmctld the default qos is checked against and if
the default qos isn't in the list of valid QOS for that association
and the association only has access to 1 QOS that will become the
default, otherwise, no default will be set. This should only happen
when removing a QOS from a <= 2.1 sacctmgr.
- Fairshare=<fairshare number | parent>
-
Number used in conjunction with other accounts to determine job
priority. Can also be the string parent, this means that the
parent association is used for fairshare. To clear a previously set
value use the modify command with a new value of -1.
- GraceTime=<preemption grace time in seconds>
-
Specifies, in units of seconds, the preemption grace time
to be extended to a job which has been selected for preemption.
The default value is zero, no preemption grace time is allowed on
this QOS.
NOTE: This value is only meaningful for QOS PreemptMode=CANCEL)
- GrpCPUMins=<max cpu minutes>
-
The total number of cpu minutes that can possibly be used by past,
present and future jobs running from this association and its children.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new
value of -1.
NOTE: This limit is not enforced if set on the root
association of a cluster. So even though it may appear in sacctmgr
output, it will not be enforced.
ALSO NOTE: This limit only applies when using the Priority Multifactor
plugin. The time is decayed using the value of PriorityDecayHalfLife
or PriorityUsageResetPeriod as set in the slurm.conf. When this limit
is reached all associated jobs running will be killed and all future
jobs submitted with associations in the group will be delayed until
they are able to run inside the limit.
- GrpCPURunMins=<max cpu run minutes>
-
Used to limit the combined total number of CPU minutes used by all
jobs running with this association and its children. This takes into
consideration time limit of running jobs and consumes it, if the limit

this association and all associations which are children of this association.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new
value of -1.
NOTE: This limit only applies fully when using the Select Consumable
Resource plugin.
- GrpNodes=<max nodes>
-
Maximum number of nodes running jobs are able to be allocated in aggregate for
this association and all associations which are children of this association.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new value of -1.
- GrpSubmitJobs=<max jobs>
-
Maximum number of jobs which can be in a pending or running state at any time
in aggregate for this association and all associations which are children of
this association.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new value of -1.
- GrpWall=<max wall>
-
Maximum wall clock time running jobs are able to be allocated in aggregate for
this association and all associations which are children of this association.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new value of -1.
NOTE: This limit is not enforced if set on the root association of a
cluster. So even though it may appear in sacctmgr output, it will not
be enforced.
ALSO NOTE: This limit only applies when using the Priority Multifactor
plugin. The time is decayed using the value of PriorityDecayHalfLife
or PriorityUsageResetPeriod as set in the slurm.conf. When this limit
is reached all associated jobs running will be killed and all future
jobs submitted with associations in the group will be delayed until

NOTE: Changing this value will have no effect on any running or
pending job.
- QosLevel<operator><comma separated list of qos names>
-
Specify the default Quality of Service's that jobs are able to run at
for this association. To get a list of valid QOS's use 'sacctmgr list qos'.
This value will override its parents value and push down to its
children as the new default. Setting a QosLevel to '' (two single
quotes with nothing between them) restores its default setting. You
can also use the operator += and -= to add or remove certain QOS's

- EnforceUsageThreshold
- If set, and the QOS also has a UsageThreshold, any jobs submitted with this QOS that fall below the UsageThreshold will be held until their Fairshare Usage goes above the Threshold.
- NoReserve
- If this flag is set and backfill scheduling is used, jobs using this QOS will not reserve resources in the backfill schedule's map of resources allocated through time. This flag is intended for use with a QOS that may be preempted by jobs associated with all other QOS (e.g use with a "standby" QOS). If the allocated is used with a QOS which can not be preempted by all other QOS, it could result in starvation of larger jobs.

selected for preemption.
- GrpCPUMins
-
The total number of cpu minutes that can possibly be used by past,

is configured to preempt/qos. The default preemption mechanism
is specified by the cluster-wide PreemptMode configuration parameter.
Possible values are "Cluster" (meaning use cluster default), "Cancel",
"Checkpoint" and "Requeue". This option is not compatible with
PreemptMode=OFF or PreemptMode=SUSPEND (i.e. preempted jobs must be removed
from the resources).
- Priority

What priority will be added to a job's priority when using this QOS.
- UsageFactor
-
Usage factor when running with this QOS
- UsageThreshold
-
A float representing the lowest fairshare of an association allowable

or PriorityUsageResetPeriod as set in the slurm.conf. When this limit
is reached all associated jobs running will be killed and all future jobs
submitted with this QOS will be delayed until they are able to run
inside the limit.
- MaxCPUMins
-
Maximum number of CPU minutes each job is able to use.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new
value of -1.
- MaxCPUs
-
Maximum number of CPUs each job is able to use.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new
value of -1. (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.)
- MaxCpusPerUser
-
Maximum number of CPUs each user is able to use.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new value of -1.
- MaxJobs
-
Maximum number of jobs each user is allowed to run at one time.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new value of -1.
- MaxNodes
-
Maximum number of nodes each job is able to use.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new value of -1.
- MaxNodesPerUser
-
Maximum number of nodes each user is able to use.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new value of -1.
- MaxSubmitJobs
-
Maximum number of jobs pending or running state at any time per user.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new value of -1.
- MaxWall
-
Maximum wall clock time each job is able to use.
<max wall> format is <min> or <min>:<sec> or <hr>:<min>:<sec> or
<days>-<hr>:<min>:<sec> or <days>-<hr>.
The value is recorded in minutes with rounding as needed.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new value of -1.
- Name
-
Name of the QOS. Needed for creation.
- Preempt
-
Other QOS' this QOS can preempt.
Setting a Preempt to '' (two single
quotes with nothing between them) restores its default setting. You
can also use the operator += and -= to add or remove certain QOS's
from a QOS list.
- PreemptMode
-
Mechanism used to preempt jobs of this QOS if the clusters PreemptType
is configured to preempt/qos. The default preemption mechanism
is specified by the cluster-wide PreemptMode configuration parameter.
Possible values are "Cluster" (meaning use cluster default), "Cancel",
"Checkpoint" and "Requeue". This option is not compatible with
PreemptMode=OFF or PreemptMode=SUSPEND (i.e. preempted jobs must be removed
from the resources).
- Priority
-
What priority will be added to a job's priority when using this QOS.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new value of -1.
- UsageFactor
-
Usage factor when running with this QOS. This is a float that is
factored into the time of running jobs. e.g. if the usagefactor of a
QOS was 2 for every cpu second a job ran it would count for 2. Also
if the usagefactor was .5 every second would only could for half the time.
Setting this value to 0 will make it so any job running will not add
time to fairshare or association/qos limits.
To clear a previously set value use the modify command with a new value of -1.

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. Anything 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=
- The total number of cpu minutes that can possibly be used by past, present and future jobs running from this association and its children.
- GrpCPURunMins=
- Used to limit the combined total number of CPU minutes used by all jobs running with this association and its children. This takes into consideration time limit of running jobs and consumes it, if the limit is reached no new jobs are started until other jobs finish to allow time to free up.
- GrpCPUs=
- Maximum number of CPUs running jobs are able to be allocated in aggregate for this association and all associations which are children of this association.
- GrpJobs=
- Maximum number of running jobs in aggregate for this association and all associations 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 associations 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 associations which are children of this association.
- FairShare=
- Number used in conjunction with other associations to determine job priority.
- MaxJobs=
- Maximum number of jobs the children of this association can run.
- MaxNodesPerJob=
- Maximum number of nodes per job the children of this association 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=
- Maximum number of CPU hours running jobs are able to be allocated in aggregate for this association and all associations which are children of this association.

ARCHIVE FUNCTIONALITY
Sacctmgr has the capability to archive to a flatfile and or load that data if needed later. The archiving is usually done by the slurmdbd and it is highly recommended you only do it through sacctmgr if you completely understand what you are doing. For slurmdbd options see "man slurmdbd" for more information. Loading data into the database can be done from these files to either view old data or regenerate rolled up data.These are the options for both dump and load of archive information.
archive dump
- Directory=
- Directory to store the archive data.
- Events
- Archive Events. If not specified and PurgeEventAfter is set all event data removed will be lost permanently.
- Jobs
- Archive Jobs. If not specified and PurgeJobAfter is set all job data removed will be lost permanently.
- PurgeEventAfter=
- Purge cluster event records older than time stated in months. If you want to purge on a shorter time period you can include hours, or days behind the numeric value to get those more frequent purges. (e.g. a value of '12hours' would purge everything older than 12 hours.)
- PurgeJobAfter=
- Purge job records older than time stated in months. If you want to purge on a shorter time period you can include hours, or days behind the numeric value to get those more frequent purges. (e.g. a value of '12hours' would purge everything older than 12 hours.)
- PurgeStepAfter=
- Purge step records older than time stated in months. If you want to purge on a shorter time period you can include hours, or days behind the numeric value to get those more frequent purges. (e.g. a value of '12hours' would purge everything older than 12 hours.)
- PurgeSuspendAfter=
- Purge job suspend records older than time stated in months. If you want to purge on a shorter time period you can include hours, or days behind the numeric value to get those more frequent purges. (e.g. a value of '12hours' would purge everything older than 12 hours.)
- Script=
- Run this script instead of the generic form of archive to flat files.
- Steps
- Archive Steps. If not specified and PurgeStepAfter is set all step data removed will be lost permanently.
- Suspend
-
Archive Suspend Data. If not specified and PurgeSuspendAfter is set
all suspend data removed will be lost permanently.
archive load
- File=
- File to load into database.
- Insert=
-
SQL to insert directly into the database. This should be used very
cautiously since this is writing your sql into the database.
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 delete user name=adam cluster=tux account=physics
> sacctmgr delete account name=physics cluster=tux
> 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 anything 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
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 specifying them in the
sacctmgr line.
> sacctmgr modify user name=adam acct=this cluster=tux set qos+=expedite
