Hi Mauricio,
My Wiki has a bit of information on Slurm triggers:
https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_operations/#slurm-trigger-information
You can also find some examples of trigger scripts here:

IHTH,
Ole

I am managing a cluster using SLURM, and want to use strigger to
automate notifications about certain events like jobs or nodes failing
or changing states, slurmctld failing, etc. I want the notifications I
send to include information about the event, like which node, which
state, which job ID, and so on. However, so far I haven't found
documentation on how to get these values.
I did find a related thread <https://

One of the replies includes a script which uses environment variables such as $SLURM_JOB_ID and $SLURM_JOB_NAME. How are these environment variables available? Is there documentation on which environment variables are available to strigger scripts? I'd appreciate any guidance you can provide.
On a separate note, I just joined this mailing list and haven't seen any
community guidelines, preferred email format, etc. Please feel free to
point them out to me or make suggestions if you have any.
