Well, I seem to have figured it out. This worked and did what I wanted to (I think):
$ sudo sacctmgr archive dump Directory=/data/Backups/Slurm PurgeEventAfter=1hour \ PurgeJobAfter=1hour PurgeStepAfter=1hour PurgeSuspendAfter=1hour \ PurgeUsageAfter=1hour Events Jobs Steps Suspend Usage This generated various usage dump files, and the job_table and step_table dumps. -- David Chin, PhD (he/him) Sr. SysAdmin, URCF, Drexel dw...@drexel.edu 215.571.4335 (o) For URCF support: urcf-supp...@drexel.edu https://proteusmaster.urcf.drexel.edu/urcfwiki github:prehensilecode ________________________________ From: slurm-users <slurm-users-boun...@lists.schedmd.com> on behalf of Chin,David <dw...@drexel.edu> Sent: Friday, February 5, 2021 15:47 To: Slurm-Users List <slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com> Subject: [slurm-users] sacctmgr archive dump - no dump file produced, and data not purged? External. Hi all: I have a new cluster, and I am attempting to dump all the accounting data that I generated in the test period before our official opening. Installation info: * Bright Cluster Manager 9.0 * Slurm 20.02.6 * Red Hat 8.1 In slurmdbd.conf, I have: ArchiveJobs=yes ArchiveSteps=yes ArchiveEvents=yes ArchiveSuspend=yes On the commandline, I do: $ sudo sacctmgr archive dump Directory=/data/Backups/Slurm PurgeEventAfter=1hours PurgeJobAfter=1hours PurgeStepAfter=1hours PurgeSuspendAfter=1hours This may result in loss of accounting database records (if Purge* options enabled). Are you sure you want to continue? (You have 30 seconds to decide) (N/y): y sacctmgr: slurmdbd: SUCCESS However, no dump file is produced. And if I run sreport, I still see data from last month. (I also tried "1hour", i.e. dropping the "s".) Is there something I am missing?
