I suspect that you, like I, ended up with an incorrect "ControlHost" in "sacctmgr list clusters". This is the address that will be notified that a change has been made in the accounting database.
I still haven't gotten a suggestion on how to fix it without losing my accounting data, though. :-\ ________________________________________ From: Eneko Anasagasti <eanasaga...@bcamath.org> Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2016 2:59 AM To: slurm-dev Subject: [slurm-dev] Accounting needs slurm daemon restart to apply changes Hi, Following an issue we had with sreport where a user wasn't reporting (thread below). We discovered that any change done to the accounting database isn't notified to the slurm daemon, therefore it does not apply changes until slurmctld is restarted. The docs (http://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html) say: Once an entity has been added, modified or removed, the change is sent to the appropriate Slurm daemons and will be available for use instantly. We are using Slurm 15.08.7 Thanks, Eneko Anasagasti IT Engineer BCAM - Basque Center for Applied Mathematics Alameda de Mazarredo, 14 E-48009 Bilbao, Basque Country - Spain Tel. +34 946 567 842 eanasaga...@bcamath.org<mailto:eanasaga...@bcamath.org> | www.bcamath.org/eanasagasti<http://www.bcamath.org/eanasagasti> ( matematika mugaz bestalde ) -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [slurm-dev] Re: Missing user in sreport Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2016 08:48:18 +0200 From: Eneko Anasagasti <eanasaga...@bcamath.org><mailto:eanasaga...@bcamath.org> To: slurm-dev@schedmd.com<mailto:slurm-dev@schedmd.com> Hi, Thanks for your answer Paddy. Actually you were right about the user not been in a slurm account. So I added it with the following comand sacctmgr -i add user testuser DefaultAccount=testgroup FairShare=100 And now it will show up when listing associations but it still doesn't show in sreport... I'm trying this: sreport cluster AccountUtilizationByUser Start=2016-03-01-00:00:00 End=2016-09-12-23:59:59 -t percent (I sent slurm jobs myself using this user to try to make them show in the report) Thanks, Eneko Anasagasti IT Engineer BCAM - Basque Center for Applied Mathematics Alameda de Mazarredo, 14 E-48009 Bilbao, Basque Country - Spain Tel. +34 946 567 842 eanasaga...@bcamath.org<mailto:eanasaga...@bcamath.org> | www.bcamath.org/eanasagasti<http://www.bcamath.org/eanasagasti> ( matematika mugaz bestalde ) On 09/09/16 10:17, Paddy Doyle wrote: Hi Eneko, On Fri, Sep 09, 2016 at 12:12:32AM -0700, Eneko Anasagasti wrote: Hi, I just realized a user is missing from sreport, although it is perfectly visible with sacct. We are using slurm 15.8.7-1.1 After doing a small analysis I found out that this user wasn't a member of the group object it should be in openldap. So I add it where it belonged. But still this wasn't enough apparently. I don't think that slurm would interact directly with LDAP. It's more likely that the user is not in a slurm Account, as managed by sacctmgr. If your sreport is something like "sreport cluster AccountUtilizationByUser..." then I think users need to be in a slurm Account/Association before they are visible in that report. Does the user show up in "sacctmgr list associations cluster=XX"? As a wild guess, do you have a process that looks at a user's group membership in LDAP and then adds them to a slurm Account? Perhaps that hadn't run yet for the user? I also tried using slurmreport but I am getting the following error /Can't locate Slurm.pm in @INC/ I don't know what 'slurmreport' is, but that looks like a Perl include path error. Maybe you need to install the slurm-perlapi package? Thanks, Paddy
