squeue(1) Slurm Commands squeue(1) NAME squeue - view information about jobs located in the Slurm scheduling queue. SYNOPSIS squeue [OPTIONS...] DESCRIPTION squeue is used to view job and job step information for jobs managed by Slurm. OPTIONS -A, --account=<account_list> Specify the accounts of the jobs to view. Accepts a comma sepa- rated list of account names. This has no effect when listing job steps. -a, --all Display information about jobs and job steps in all partitions. This causes information to be displayed about partitions that are configured as hidden, partitions that are unavailable to a user's group, and federated jobs that are in a "revoked" state. -r, --array Display one job array element per line. Without this option, the display will be optimized for use with job arrays (pending job array elements will be combined on one line of output with the array index values printed using a regular expression). -M, --clusters=<cluster_name> Clusters to issue commands to. Multiple cluster names may be comma separated. A value of 'all' will query to run on all clusters. This option implicitly sets the --local option. --federation Show jobs from the federation if a member of one. -o, --format=<output_format> Specify the information to be displayed, its size and position (right or left justified). Also see the -O, --Format=<out- put_format> option described below (which supports less flexi- bility in formatting, but supports access to all fields). If the command is executed in a federated cluster environment and information about more than one cluster is to be displayed and the -h, --noheader option is used, then the cluster name will be displayed before the default output formats shown below. The default formats with various options are: default "%.18i %.9P %.8j %.8u %.2t %.10M %.6D %R" -l, --long "%.18i %.9P %.8j %.8u %.8T %.10M %.9l %.6D %R" -s, --steps "%.15i %.8j %.9P %.8u %.9M %N" The format of each field is "%[[.]size]type[suffix]" size Minimum field size. If no size is specified, whatever is needed to print the information will be used. . Indicates the output should be right justified and size must be specified. By default output is left justified. suffix Arbitrary string to append to the end of the field. Note that many of these type specifications are valid only for jobs while others are valid only for job steps. Valid type specifications include: %all Print all fields available for this data type with a ver- tical bar separating each field. %a Account associated with the job. (Valid for jobs only) %A Number of tasks created by a job step. This reports the value of the srun --ntasks option. (Valid for job steps only) %A Job id. This will have a unique value for each element of job arrays. (Valid for jobs only) %B Executing (batch) host. For an allocated session, this is the host on which the session is executing (i.e. the node from which the srun or the salloc command was executed). For a batch job, this is the node executing the batch script. In the case of a typical Linux cluster, this would be the compute node zero of the allocation. %c Minimum number of CPUs (processors) per node requested by the job. This reports the value of the srun --mincpus op- tion with a default value of zero. (Valid for jobs only) %C Number of CPUs (processors) requested by the job or allo- cated to it if already running. As a job is completing this number will reflect the current number of CPUs allo- cated. (Valid for jobs only) %d Minimum size of temporary disk space (in MB) requested by the job. (Valid for jobs only) %D Number of nodes allocated to the job or the minimum number of nodes required by a pending job. The actual number of nodes allocated to a pending job may exceed this number if the job specified a node range count (e.g. minimum and maximum node counts) or the job specifies a processor count instead of a node count. As a job is completing this number will reflect the current number of nodes allocated. (Valid for jobs only) %e Time at which the job ended or is expected to end (based upon its time limit). (Valid for jobs only) %E Job dependencies remaining. This job will not begin execu- tion until these dependent jobs complete. In the case of a job that can not run due to job dependencies never being satisfied, the full original job dependency specification will be reported. A value of NULL implies this job has no dependencies. (Valid for jobs only) %f Features required by the job. (Valid for jobs only) %F Job array's job ID. This is the base job ID. For non-ar- ray jobs, this is the job ID. (Valid for jobs only) %g Group name of the job. (Valid for jobs only) %G Group ID of the job. (Valid for jobs only) %h Can the compute resources allocated to the job be over subscribed by other jobs. The resources to be over sub- scribed can be nodes, sockets, cores, or hyperthreads de- pending upon configuration. The value will be "YES" if the job was submitted with the oversubscribe option or the partition is configured with OverSubscribe=Force, "NO" if the job requires exclusive node access, "USER" if the al- located compute nodes are dedicated to a single user, "MCS" if the allocated compute nodes are dedicated to a single security class (See MCSPlugin and MCSParameters configuration parameters for more information), "OK" oth- erwise (typically allocated dedicated CPUs), (Valid for jobs only) %H Number of sockets per node requested by the job. This re- ports the value of the srun --sockets-per-node option. When --sockets-per-node has not been set, "*" is dis- played. (Valid for jobs only) %i Job or job step id. In the case of job arrays, the job ID format will be of the form "<base_job_id>_<index>". By default, the job array index field size will be limited to 64 bytes. Use the environment variable SLURM_BITSTR_LEN to specify larger field sizes. (Valid for jobs and job steps) In the case of heterogeneous job allocations, the job ID format will be of the form "#+#" where the first number is the "heterogeneous job leader" and the second number the zero origin offset for each component of the job. %I Number of cores per socket requested by the job. This re- ports the value of the srun --cores-per-socket option. When --cores-per-socket has not been set, "*" is dis- played. (Valid for jobs only) %j Job or job step name. (Valid for jobs and job steps) %J Number of threads per core requested by the job. This re- ports the value of the srun --threads-per-core option. When --threads-per-core has not been set, "*" is dis- played. (Valid for jobs only) %k Comment associated with the job. (Valid for jobs only) %K Job array index. By default, this field size will be lim- ited to 64 bytes. Use the environment variable SLURM_BIT- STR_LEN to specify larger field sizes. (Valid for jobs only) %l Time limit of the job or job step in days-hours:min- utes:seconds. The value may be "NOT_SET" if not yet es- tablished or "UNLIMITED" for no limit. (Valid for jobs and job steps) %L Time left for the job to execute in days-hours:min- utes:seconds. This value is calculated by subtracting the job's time used from its time limit. The value may be "NOT_SET" if not yet established or "UNLIMITED" for no limit. (Valid for jobs only) %m Minimum size of memory (in MB) requested by the job. (Valid for jobs only) %M Time used by the job or job step in days-hours:min- utes:seconds. The days and hours are printed only as needed. For job steps this field shows the elapsed time since execution began and thus will be inaccurate for job steps which have been suspended. Clock skew between nodes in the cluster will cause the time to be inaccurate. If the time is obviously wrong (e.g. negative), it displays as "INVALID". (Valid for jobs and job steps) %n List of node names explicitly requested by the job. (Valid for jobs only) %N List of nodes allocated to the job or job step. In the case of a COMPLETING job, the list of nodes will comprise only those nodes that have not yet been returned to ser- vice. (Valid for jobs and job steps) %o The command to be executed. %O Are contiguous nodes requested by the job. (Valid for jobs only) %p Priority of the job (converted to a floating point number between 0.0 and 1.0). Also see %Q. (Valid for jobs only) %P Partition of the job or job step. (Valid for jobs and job steps) %q Quality of service associated with the job. (Valid for jobs only) %Q Priority of the job (generally a very large unsigned inte- ger). Also see %p. (Valid for jobs only) %r The reason a job is in its current state. See the JOB REASON CODES section below for more information. (Valid for jobs only) %R For pending jobs: the reason a job is waiting for execu- tion is printed within parenthesis. For terminated jobs with failure: an explanation as to why the job failed is printed within parenthesis. For all other job states: the list of allocate nodes. See the JOB REASON CODES section below for more information. (Valid for jobs only) %S Actual or expected start time of the job or job step. (Valid for jobs and job steps) %t Job state in compact form. See the JOB STATE CODES sec- tion below for a list of possible states. (Valid for jobs only) %T Job state in extended form. See the JOB STATE CODES sec- tion below for a list of possible states. (Valid for jobs only) %u User name for a job or job step. (Valid for jobs and job steps) %U User ID for a job or job step. (Valid for jobs and job steps) %v Reservation for the job. (Valid for jobs only) %V The job's submission time. %w Workload Characterization Key (wckey). (Valid for jobs only) %W Licenses reserved for the job. (Valid for jobs only) %x List of node names explicitly excluded by the job. (Valid for jobs only) %X Count of cores reserved on each node for system use (core specialization). (Valid for jobs only) %y Nice value (adjustment to a job's scheduling priority). (Valid for jobs only) %Y For pending jobs, a list of the nodes expected to be used when the job is started. %z Number of requested sockets, cores, and threads (S:C:T) per node for the job. When (S:C:T) has not been set, "*" is displayed. (Valid for jobs only) %Z The job's working directory. -O, --Format=<output_format> Specify the information to be displayed. Also see the -o, --format=<output_format> option described above (which supports greater flexibility in formatting, but does not support access to all fields because we ran out of letters). Requests a comma separated list of job information to be displayed. The format of each field is "type[:[.][size][suffix]]" size Minimum field size. If no size is specified, 20 char- acters will be allocated to print the information. . Indicates the output should be right justified and size must be specified. By default output is left justified. suffix Arbitrary string to append to the end of the field.

(Valid for jobs and job steps) TimeUsed Time used by the job or job step in days-hours:min- utes:seconds. The days and hours are printed only as needed. For job steps this field shows the elapsed time since execution began and thus will be inaccurate for job steps which have been suspended. Clock skew between nodes in the cluster will cause the time to be inaccu- rate. If the time is obviously wrong (e.g. negative), it displays as "INVALID".

(Valid for jobs only) WorkDir The job's working directory. (Valid for jobs only) --help Print a help message describing all options squeue. --hide Do not display information about jobs and job steps in all par- titions. By default, information about partitions that are con- figured as hidden or are not available to the user's group will not be displayed (i.e. this is the default behavior). -i, --iterate=<seconds> Repeatedly gather and report the requested information at the interval specified (in seconds). By default, prints a time stamp with the header. -j, --jobs[=<job_id_list>] Specify a comma separated list of job IDs to display. Defaults to all jobs. The --jobs=<job_id_list> option may be used in conjunction with the --steps option to print step information about specific jobs. Note: If a list of job IDs is provided, the jobs are displayed even if they are on hidden partitions. Since this option's argument is optional, for proper parsing the single letter option must be followed immediately with the value and not include a space between them. For example "-j1008" and not "-j 1008". The job ID format is "job_id[_array_id]". Per- formance of the command can be measurably improved for systems with large numbers of jobs when a single job ID is specified. By default, this field size will be limited to 64 bytes. Use the environment variable SLURM_BITSTR_LEN to specify larger field sizes. --json, --json=list, --json=<data_parser> Dump information as JSON using the default data_parser plugin or explicit data_parser with parameters. All information is dumped, even if it would normally not be. Sorting and formatting argu- ments passed to other options are ignored; however, filtering arguments are still used. -L, --licenses=<license_list> Request jobs requesting or using one or more of the named li- censes. The license list consists of a comma separated list of license names. --local Show only jobs local to this cluster. Ignore other clusters in this federation (if any). Overrides --federation. -l, --long Report more of the available information for the selected jobs or job steps, subject to any constraints specified. --me Equivalent to --user=<my username>. -n, --name=<name_list> Request jobs or job steps having one of the specified names. The list consists of a comma separated list of job names. --noconvert Don't convert units from their original type (e.g. 2048M won't be converted to 2G). -w, --nodelist=<hostlist> Report only on jobs allocated to the specified node or list of nodes. This may either be the NodeName or NodeHostname as de- fined in slurm.conf(5) in the event that they differ. A node_name of localhost is mapped to the current host name. -h, --noheader Do not print a header on the output. --only-job-state Only query for the job state. Query utilizes RPC that only re- tains JobID and State information reducing work required by slurmctld to respond. -p, --partition=<part_list> Specify the partitions of the jobs or steps to view. Accepts a comma separated list of partition names. -P, --priority For pending jobs submitted to multiple partitions, list the job once per partition. In addition, if jobs are sorted by priority, consider both the partition and job priority. This option can be used to produce a list of pending jobs in the same order consid- ered for scheduling by Slurm with appropriate additional options (e.g. "--sort=-p,i --states=PD"). -q, --qos=<qos_list> Specify the qos(s) of the jobs or steps to view. Accepts a comma separated list of qos's. -R, --reservation=<reservation_name> Specify the reservation of the jobs to view. --sibling Show all sibling jobs on a federated cluster. Implies --federa- tion. -S, --sort=<sort_list> Specification of the order in which records should be reported. This uses the same field specification as the <output_format>. The long format option "cluster" can also be used to sort jobs or job steps by cluster name (e.g. federated jobs). Multiple sorts may be performed by listing multiple sort fields separated by commas. The field specifications may be preceded by "+" or "-" for ascending (default) and descending order respectively. For example, a sort value of "P,U" will sort the records by par- tition name then by user id. The default value of sort for jobs is "P,t,-p" (increasing partition name then within a given par- tition by increasing job state and then decreasing priority). The default value of sort for job steps is "P,i" (increasing partition name then within a given partition by increasing step id). --start Report the expected start time and resources to be allocated for pending jobs in order of increasing start time. This is equiva- lent to the following options: --format="%.18i %.9P %.8j %.8u %.2t %.19S %.6D %20Y %R", --sort=S and --states=PENDING. Any of these options may be explicitly changed as desired by combin- ing the --start option with other option values (e.g. to use a different output format). The expected start time of pending jobs is only available if the Slurm is configured to use the backfill scheduling plugin. -t, --states=<state_list> Specify the states of jobs to view. Accepts a comma separated list of state names or "all". If "all" is specified then jobs of all states will be reported. If no state is specified then pend- ing, running, and completing jobs are reported. See the JOB STATE CODES section below for a list of valid states. Both ex- tended and compact forms are valid. Note the <state_list> sup- plied is case insensitive ("pd" and "PD" are equivalent). -s, --steps[=<step_list>] Specify the job steps to view. This flag indicates that a comma separated list of job steps to view follows without an equal sign (see examples). The job step format is "job_id[_ar- ray_id].step_id". Defaults to all job steps. Since this option's argument is optional, for proper parsing the single letter op- tion must be followed immediately with the value and not include a space between them. For example "-s1008.0" and not "-s 1008.0". --usage Print a brief help message listing the squeue options. -u, --user=<user_list> Request jobs or job steps from a comma separated list of users. The list can consist of user names or user id numbers. Perfor- mance of the command can be measurably improved for systems with large numbers of jobs when a single user is specified. -v, --verbose Report details of squeues actions. -V , --version Print version information and exit. --yaml, --yaml=list, --yaml=<data_parser> Dump information as JSON using the default data_parser plugin or explicit data_parser with parameters. All information is dumped, even if it would normally not be. Sorting and formatting argu- ments passed to other options are ignored; however, filtering arguments are still used. JOB REASON CODES These codes identify the reason that a job is waiting for execution. A job may be waiting for more than one reason, in which case only one of those reasons is displayed. The Reasons listed below are some of the more common ones you might see.

PartitionTimeLimit The job's time limit exceeds its partition's cur- rent time limit. Priority One or more higher priority jobs exist for this partition or advanced reservation. Prolog Its PrologSlurmctld program is still running. QOSGrp*Limit The job's QOS has reached an aggregate limit on some resource. QOSJobLimit The job's QOS has reached its maximum job count. QOSMax*Limit The job requests a resource that violates a per- job limit on the requested QOS. QOSResourceLimit The job's QOS has reached some resource limit. QOSTimeLimit The job's QOS has reached its time limit. QOSUsageThreshold Required QOS threshold has been breached. ReqNodeNotAvail Some node specifically required by the job is not currently available. The node may currently be in use, reserved for another job, in an advanced reservation, DOWN, DRAINED, or not responding. Nodes which are DOWN, DRAINED, or not responding will be identified as part of the job's "reason" field as "UnavailableNodes". Such nodes will typ- ically require the intervention of a system ad- ministrator to make available. Reservation The job is waiting its advanced reservation to become available. Resources The job is waiting for resources to become avail- able. SystemFailure Failure of the Slurm system, a file system, the network, etc. TimeLimit The job exhausted its time limit. WaitingForScheduling No reason has been set for this job yet. Waiting for the scheduler to determine the appropriate reason. JOB STATE CODES Jobs typically pass through several states in the course of their exe- cution. The typical states are PENDING, RUNNING, SUSPENDED, COMPLET- ING, and COMPLETED. An explanation of each state follows. BF BOOT_FAIL Job terminated due to launch failure, typically due to a hardware failure (e.g. unable to boot the node or block and the job can not be requeued). CA CANCELLED Job was explicitly cancelled by the user or system administrator. The job may or may not have been initiated. CD COMPLETED Job has terminated all processes on all nodes with an exit code of zero. CF CONFIGURING Job has been allocated resources, but are waiting for them to become ready for use (e.g. booting). CG COMPLETING Job is in the process of completing. Some processes on some nodes may still be active. DL DEADLINE Job terminated on deadline. F FAILED Job terminated with non-zero exit code or other failure condition. NF NODE_FAIL Job terminated due to failure of one or more allo- cated nodes. OOM OUT_OF_MEMORY Job experienced out of memory error. PD PENDING Job is awaiting resource allocation. PR PREEMPTED Job terminated due to preemption. R RUNNING Job currently has an allocation. RD RESV_DEL_HOLD Job is being held after requested reservation was deleted. RF REQUEUE_FED Job is being requeued by a federation. RH REQUEUE_HOLD Held job is being requeued. RQ REQUEUED Completing job is being requeued. RS RESIZING Job is about to change size. RV REVOKED Sibling was removed from cluster due to other clus- ter starting the job. SI SIGNALING Job is being signaled. SE SPECIAL_EXIT The job was requeued in a special state. This state can be set by users, typically in EpilogSlurmctld, if the job has terminated with a particular exit value. SO STAGE_OUT Job is staging out files. ST STOPPED Job has an allocation, but execution has been stopped with SIGSTOP signal. CPUS have been re- tained by this job. S SUSPENDED Job has an allocation, but execution has been sus- pended and CPUs have been released for other jobs. TO TIMEOUT Job terminated upon reaching its time limit. PERFORMANCE Executing squeue sends a remote procedure call to slurmctld. If enough calls from squeue or other Slurm client commands that send remote pro- cedure calls to the slurmctld daemon come in at once, it can result in a degradation of performance of the slurmctld daemon, possibly result- ing in a denial of service. Do not run squeue or other Slurm client commands that send remote pro- cedure calls to slurmctld from loops in shell scripts or other pro- grams. Ensure that programs limit calls to squeue to the minimum neces- sary for the information you are trying to gather. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES Some squeue options may be set via environment variables. These envi- ronment variables, along with their corresponding options, are listed below. (Note: Command line options will always override these set- tings.) SLURM_BITSTR_LEN Specifies the string length to be used for holding a job array's task ID expression. The default value is 64 bytes. A value of 0 will print the full expression with any length required. Larger values may adversely impact the application perfor- mance. SLURM_CLUSTERS Same as --clusters SLURM_CONF The location of the Slurm configuration file. SLURM_DEBUG_FLAGS Specify debug flags for squeue to use. See De- bugFlags in the slurm.conf(5) man page for a full list of flags. The environment variable takes precedence over the setting in the slurm.conf. SLURM_TIME_FORMAT Specify the format used to report time stamps. A value of standard, the default value, generates output in the form "year-month-dateThour:minute:second". A value of relative returns only "hour:minute:second" if the current day. For other dates in the current year it prints the "hour:minute" preceded by "Tomorr" (tomorrow), "Ystday" (yesterday), the name of the day for the coming week (e.g. "Mon", "Tue", etc.), otherwise the date (e.g. "25 Apr"). For other years it returns a date month and year without a time (e.g. "6 Jun 2012"). All of the time stamps use a 24 hour format. A valid strftime() format can also be specified. For example, a value of "%a %T" will report the day of the week and a time stamp (e.g. "Mon 12:34:56").
