sacct(1) Slurm Commands sacct(1) NAME sacct - displays accounting data for all jobs and job steps in the Slurm job accounting log or Slurm database SYNOPSIS sacct [OPTIONS...] DESCRIPTION Accounting information for jobs invoked with Slurm are either logged in the job accounting log file or saved to the Slurm database, as configured with the AccountingStorageType parameter. The sacct command displays job accounting data stored in the job accounting log file or Slurm database in a variety of forms for your analysis. The sacct command displays information on jobs, job steps, status, and exit- codes by default. You can tailor the output with the use of the --format= option to specify the fields to be shown. Job records consist of a primary entry for the job as a whole as well as entries for job steps. The Job Launch page has a more detailed description of each type of job step. <https://slurm.schedmd.com/job_launch.html#job_record> For the root user, the sacct command displays job accounting data for all users, although there are options to filter the output to report only the jobs from a specified user or group. For the non-root user, the sacct command limits the display of job account- ing data to jobs that were launched with their own user identifier (UID) by default. Data for other users can be displayed with the --allusers, --user, or --uid options. Elapsed time fields are presented as [days-]hours:minutes:seconds[.mi- croseconds]. Only 'CPU' fields will ever have microseconds. NOTE: If designated, the slurmdbd.conf option PrivateData may further re- strict the accounting data visible to users which are not SlurmUser, root, or a user with AdminLevel=Admin. See the slurmdbd.conf man page for addi- tional details on restricting access to accounting data. NOTE: The contents of Slurm's database are maintained in lower case. This may result in some sacct output differing from that of other Slurm com- mands. NOTE: Much of the data reported by sacct has been generated by the wait3() and getrusage() system calls. Some systems gather and report incomplete in- formation for these calls; sacct reports values of 0 for this missing data. See your systems getrusage (3) man page for information about which data are actually available on your system. OPTIONS -A, --accounts=<account_list> Displays jobs when a comma separated list of accounts are given as the argument. --array Expand job arrays. Display all array tasks on separate lines in- stead of displaying groups of array tasks on single lines. -L, --allclusters Display jobs ran on all clusters. By default, only jobs ran on the cluster from where sacct is called are displayed. -X, --allocations Only show statistics relevant to the job allocation itself, not taking steps into consideration. NOTE: Without including steps, utilization statistics for job al- location(s) will be reported as zero. -a, --allusers Displays all users' jobs when run by user root or if PrivateData is not configured to jobs. Otherwise display the current user's jobs -x, --associations=<assoc_list> Displays the statistics only for the jobs running under the asso- ciation ids specified by the assoc_list operand, which is a comma-separated list of association ids. Space characters are not allowed in the assoc_list. Default is all associations. -B, --batch-script This option will print the batch script of job if the job used one. If the job didn't have a script 'NONE' is output. NOTE: AccountingStoreFlags=job_script is required for this. NOTE: Requesting specific job(s) with '-j' is required for this. -b, --brief Displays a brief listing consisting of JobID, State, and Exit- Code. -M, --clusters=<cluster_list> Displays the statistics only for the jobs started on the clusters specified by the cluster_list operand, which is a comma-separated list of clusters. Space characters are not allowed in the clus- ter_list. A value of 'all' will query to run on all clusters. The default is current cluster you are executing the sacct com- mand on or all clusters in the federation when executed on a fed- erated cluster. This option implicitly sets the --local option. -c, --completion Use job completion data instead of job accounting. The JobComp- Type parameter in the slurm.conf file must be defined to a non-none option. Does not support federated cluster information (local data only). -C, --constraints=<constraint_list> Comma separated list to filter jobs based on what con- straints/features the job requested. Multiple options will be treated as 'and' not 'or', so the job would need all constraints specified to be returned not one or the other. --delimiter=<characters> ASCII characters used to separate the fields when specifying the -p or -P options. The default delimiter is a '|'. This option is ignored if -p or -P options are not specified. -D, --duplicates Allow multiple job records for the same job ID or SLUID to be shown. By default, if multiple job records for the same job ID or SLUID match the request, only the most recent one will be shown. Duplicate records can result from requeues, federation, resizes or from jobs reaching the MaxJobId value and resetting. Such records can be distinguished by the Submit time stamp, by the OriginalSLUID or by the SLUID fields. -E, --endtime=<end_time> Select jobs in any state before the specified time. If states are given with the -s option return jobs in this state before this period. See the DEFAULT TIME WINDOW section (below) for details about how the default values for --starttime and --endtime are determined. Valid time formats are: HH:MM[:SS][AM|PM] MMDD[YY][-HH:MM[:SS]] MM.DD[.YY][-HH:MM[:SS]] MM/DD[/YY][-HH:MM[:SS]] YYYY-MM-DD[THH:MM[:SS]] today, midnight, noon, elevenses (11 AM), fika (3 PM), teatime (4 PM) now[{+|-}count[seconds(default)|minutes|hours|days|weeks]] --env-vars This option will print the running environment of a batch job, otherwise 'NONE' is output. NOTE: AccountingStoreFlags=job_env is required for this. NOTE: Requesting specific job(s) with '-j' is required for this. --expand-patterns Expand any filename patterns from in StdOut, StdErr and StdIn. Fields that map to a range of values will use the first value of the range. For example "%t" for task id will be replaced by "0". --federation Show jobs from the federation if a member of one. -f, --file=<file> Causes the sacct command to read job accounting data from the named file instead of the current Slurm job accounting log file. Only applicable when running the jobcomp/filetxt plugin. Setting this flag implicitly enables the -c flag. -F, --flags=<flag_list> Comma separated list to filter jobs based on what various ways the jobs were handled. Current flags are SchedSubmit, SchedMain, SchedBackfill and StartReceived. SchedSubmit, SchedMain, Sched- Backfill describe the scheduler that started the job. -o, --format Comma separated list of fields. (use "--helpformat" for a list of available fields). NOTE: When using the format option for listing various fields you can put a %NUMBER afterwards to specify how many characters should be printed. e.g. format=name%30 will print 30 characters of field name right justified. A %-30 will print 30 characters left justified. When set, the SACCT_FORMAT environment variable will override the default format. For example: SACCT_FORMAT="jobid,user,account,cluster" -g, --gid=, --group=<gid_or_group_list> Displays the statistics only for the jobs started with the GID or the GROUP specified by the gid_list or the group_list operand, which is a comma-separated list. Space characters are not al- lowed. Default is no restrictions. -h, --help Displays a general help message. -e, --helpformat Print a list of fields that can be specified with the --format option. Fields available: Account AdminComment AllocCPUS AllocNodes AllocTRES AssocID AveCPU AveCPUFreq AveDiskRead AveDiskWrite AvePages AveRSS AveVMSize BlockID Cluster Comment Constraints ConsumedEnergy ConsumedEnergyRaw Container CPUTime CPUTimeRAW DBIndex DerivedExitCode Elapsed ElapsedRaw Eligible End Exclusive ExitCode Extra FailedNode Flags GID Group JobID JobIDRaw JobName Layout Licenses MaxDiskRead MaxDiskReadNode MaxDiskReadTask MaxDiskWrite MaxDiskWriteNode MaxDiskWriteTask MaxPages MaxPagesNode MaxPagesTask MaxRSS MaxRSSNode MaxRSSTask MaxVMSize MaxVMSizeNode MaxVMSizeTask McsLabel MinCPU MinCPUNode MinCPUTask NCPUS NNodes NodeList NTasks OriginalSLUID OverSubscribe Partition Planned PlannedCPU PlannedCPURAW Priority QOS QOSRAW QOSREQ Reason ReqCPUFreq ReqCPUFreqGov ReqCPUFreqMax ReqCPUFreqMin ReqCPUS ReqMem ReqNodes ReqReservation ReqTRES Reservation ReservationId Restarts SegmentSize SLUID Start State StdErr StdIn StdOut Submit SubmitLine Suspended SystemComment SystemCPU Timelimit TimelimitRaw TotalCPU TRESUsageInAve TRESUsageInMax TRESUsageInMaxNode TRESUsageInMaxTask TRESUsageInMin TRESUsageInMinNode TRESUsageInMinTask TRESUsageInTot TRESUsageOutAve TRESUsageOutMax TRESUsageOutMaxNode TRESUsageOutMaxTask TRESUsageOutMin TRESUsageOutMinNode TRESUsageOutMinTask TRESUsageOutTot UID User UserCPU WCKey WCKeyID WorkDir NOTE: When using with Ave[RSS|VM]Size or their values in TRE- SUsageIn[Ave|Tot]. They represent the average/total of the highest water- marks over all ranks in the step. When using sstat they represent the aver- age/total at the moment the command was run. NOTE: TRESUsage*Min* values represent the lowest highwater mark in the step. NOTE: Availability of metrics rely on the jobacct_gather plugin used. For example the jobacct_gather/cgroup in combination with cgroup/v2 does not provide Virtual Memory metrics due to limitations in the kernel cgroups in- terfaces and will show a 0 for the related fields. The section titled "Job Accounting Fields" describes these fields. -j, --jobs=<job[.step]> Displays information about the specified job[.step] or list of job[.step]s. The job[.step] parameter is a comma-separated list of jobs. Space characters are not permitted in this list. NOTE: A step id of 'batch' will display the information about the batch step. By default sacct shows only jobs with Eligible time, but with this option the non-eligible will be also shown. NOTE: If --state is also specified, as non-eligible are not PD, then non-eligible jobs will not be displayed. See the DEFAULT TIME WINDOW section (below) for details about how this option changes the default values for --starttime and --endtime. --json, --json=list, --json=<data_parser> Dump job information as JSON using the default data_parser plugin or explicit data_parser with parameters. Sorting and formatting arguments will be ignored. --local Show only jobs local to this cluster. Ignore other clusters in this federation (if any). Overrides --federation. -l, --long Equivalent to specifying: --format=jobid,jobidraw,jobname,partition,maxvmsize,maxvmsizen- ode, maxvmsizetask,avevm- size,maxrss,maxrssnode,maxrsstask,averss,maxpages, max- pagesnode,maxpagestask,avepages,mincpu,mincpun- ode,mincputask,avecpu,ntasks, alloccpus,elapsed,state,exit- code,avecpufreq,reqcpufreqmin,reqcpufreqmax, reqcpufreqgov,re- qmem,consumedenergy,maxdiskread,maxdiskreadnode,maxdiskreadtask, avediskread,maxdiskwrite,maxdiskwritenode,maxdiskwrite- task,avediskwrite, reqtres,alloctres,tresusageinave,tresusagein- max, tresusageinmaxn,tresusageinmaxt,tresusageinmin,tresusagein- minn,tresusageinmint, tresusageintot,tresusageoutmax,tresusage- outmaxn, tresusageoutmaxt,tresusageoutave,tresusageouttot --name=<jobname_list> Display jobs that have any of these name(s). -i, --nnodes=<min[-max]> Return jobs that ran on the specified number of nodes. -I, --ncpus=<min[-max]> Return jobs that ran on the specified number of cpus. --noconvert Don't convert units from their original type (e.g. 2048M won't be converted to 2G). -N, --nodelist=<node_list> Display jobs that ran on any of these node(s). node_list can be a ranged string. NOTE: This is not reliable when nodes are added or removed to Slurm while jobs are running. Only jobs that started in the spec- ified time range (-S, -E) will be returned. -n, --noheader No heading will be added to the output. The default action is to display a header. -p, --parsable Output will be '|' delimited with a '|' at the end. See also the --delimiter option. -P, --parsable2 Output will be '|' delimited without a '|' at the end. See also the --delimiter option. -r, --partition Comma separated list of partitions to select jobs and job steps from. The default is all partitions. -q, --qos Only send data about jobs using these qos. Default is all. -R, --reason=<reason_list> Comma separated list to filter jobs based on what reason the job wasn't scheduled outside resources/priority. -S, --starttime Select jobs in any state after the specified time. Default is 00:00:00 of the current day, unless the '-s' or '-j' options are used. If the '-s' option is used, then the default is 'now'. If states are given with the '-s' option then only jobs in this state at this time will be returned. If the '-j' option is used, then the default time is Unix Epoch 0. See the DEFAULT TIME WIN- DOW section (below) for details about how default values for --starttime and --endtime are determined. Valid time formats are: HH:MM[:SS][AM|PM] MMDD[YY][-HH:MM[:SS]] MM.DD[.YY][-HH:MM[:SS]] MM/DD[/YY][-HH:MM[:SS]] YYYY-MM-DD[THH:MM[:SS]] today, midnight, noon, elevenses (11 AM), fika (3 PM), teatime (4 PM) now[{+|-}count[seconds(default)|minutes|hours|days|weeks]] -s, --state=<state_list> Selects jobs based on their state during the time period given. Unless otherwise specified, the start and end time will be the current time when the --state option is specified and only cur- rently running jobs can be displayed. A start and/or end time must be specified to view information about jobs not currently running. See the JOB STATE CODES section below for a list of state designators. Multiple state names may be specified using comma separators. Either the short or long form of the state name may be used (e.g. CA or CANCELLED) and the name is case insensi- tive (i.e. ca and CA both work). NOTE: Note for a job to be selected in the PENDING state it must have "EligibleTime" in the requested time interval or different from "Unknown". The "EligibleTime" is displayed by the "scontrol show job" command. For example jobs submitted with the "--hold" option will have "EligibleTime=Unknown" as they are pending in- definitely. NOTE: When specifying states and no start time is given the de- fault start time is 'now'. This is only when -j is not used. If -j is used the start time will default to 'Epoch'. In both cases if no end time is given it will default to 'now'. See the DEFAULT TIME WINDOW section (below) for details about how this option changes the default values for --starttime and --endtime. -K, --timelimit-max Ignored by itself, but if timelimit_min is set this will be the maximum timelimit of the range. Default is no restriction. -k, --timelimit-min Only send data about jobs with this timelimit. If used with time- limit_max this will be the minimum timelimit of the range. De- fault is no restriction. -T, --truncate Truncate time. So if a job started before --starttime the start time would be truncated to --starttime. The same for end time and --endtime. -u, --uid=, --user=<uid_or_user_list> Use this comma separated list of UIDs or user names to select jobs to display. By default, the running user's UID is used. --units=[KMGTP] Display values in specified unit type. Takes precedence over --noconvert option. --usage Display a command usage summary. --use-local-uid When displaying UID, sacct uses the UID stored in Slurm's ac- counting database by default. Use this command to make Slurm use a system call to get the UID from the username. This option may be useful in an environment with multiple clusters and one data- base where the UIDs aren't the same on all clusters. -v, --verbose Primarily for debugging purposes, report the state of various variables during processing. -V, --version Print version. -W, --wckeys=<wckey_list> Displays the statistics only for the jobs started on the wckeys specified by the wckey_list operand, which is a comma-separated list of wckey names. Space characters are not allowed in the wckey_list. Default is all wckeys. --whole-hetjob[=yes|no] When querying and filtering heterogeneous jobs with --jobs, Slurm will default to retrieving information about all the components of the job if the het_job_id (leader id) is selected. If a non-leader heterogeneous job component id is selected then only that component is retrieved by default. This behavior can be changed by using this option. If set to 'yes' (or no argument), then information about all the components will be retrieved no matter which component is selected in the job filter. If set to 'no' then only the selected heterogeneous job component(s) will be retrieved, even when selecting the leader. --yaml, --yaml=list, --yaml=<data_parser> Dump job information as YAML using the default data_parser plugin or explicit data_parser with parameters. Sorting and formatting arguments will be ignored. Job Accounting Fields Descriptions of each field option can be found below. Note that the Ave*, Max* and Min* accounting fields look at the values for all the tasks of each step in a job and return the average, maximum or minimum values of the task for that job step. For example, for MaxRSS, the returned value is the maximum memory consumption seen by one of the tasks of the step, and MaxRSSTask shows which task it is. ALL Print all fields listed below. Account Account the job ran under. AdminComment A comment string on a job that must be set by an adminis- trator, the SlurmUser or root. AllocCPUs Count of allocated CPUs. Equivalent to NCPUS. AllocNodes Number of nodes allocated to the job/step. 0 if the job is pending. AllocTres Trackable resources. These are the resources allocated to the job/step after the job started running. For pending jobs this should be blank. For more details see Account- ingStorageTRES in slurm.conf. NOTE: When a generic resource is configured with the no_consume flag, the allocation will be printed with a zero. AssocID Reference to the association of user, account and cluster. AveCPU Average (system + user) CPU time of all tasks in job. AveCPUFreq Average weighted CPU frequency of all tasks in job, in kHz. AveDiskRead Average number of bytes read by all tasks in job. AveDiskWrite Average number of bytes written by all tasks in job. AvePages Average number of page faults of all tasks in job. AveRSS Average resident set size of all tasks in job. AveVMSize Average Virtual Memory size of all tasks in job. BlockID The name of the block to be used (used with Blue Gene sys- tems). Cluster Cluster name. Comment The job's comment string when the AccountingStoreFlags pa- rameter in the slurm.conf file contains 'job_comment'. The Comment string can be modified by invoking sacctmgr modify job or the specialized sjobexitmod command. Constraints Feature(s) the job requested as a constraint. ConsumedEnergy Total energy consumed by all tasks in a job, in joules. Value may include a unit prefix (K,M,G,T,P). Note: Only in the case of an exclusive job allocation does this value reflect the job's real energy consumption. ConsumedEnergyRaw Total energy consumed by all tasks in a job, in joules. Note: Only in the case of an exclusive job allocation does this value reflect the job's real energy consumption. Container Path to OCI Container Bundle requested. CPUTime Time used (Elapsed time * CPU count) by a job or step in HH:MM:SS format. CPUTimeRAW Time used (Elapsed time * CPU count) by a job or step in cpu-seconds. DBIndex Unique database index for entries in the job table. DerivedExitCode The highest exit code returned by the job's job steps (srun invocations). Following the colon is the signal that caused the process to terminate if it was terminated by a signal. The DerivedExitCode can be modified by invoking sacctmgr modify job or the specialized sjobexitmod com- mand. Elapsed The job's elapsed time. The format of this field's output is as follows: [DD-[HH:]]MM:SS as defined by the following: DD days hh hours mm minutes ss seconds ElapsedRaw The job's elapsed time in seconds. Eligible When the job became eligible to run. In the same format as End. End Termination time of the job. The output is of the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS, unless changed through the SLURM_TIME_FORMAT environment variable. Exclusive Indicates whether the job has exclusive access to its al- located resources. NO The job does not require exclusive access to its allocated resources. NODE The job is allocated all CPUs and GRES on all nodes in the allocation and cannot share nodes with other jobs. This corresponds to the --exclusive option. USER The job cannot share nodes with other jobs unless they are from the same user. This corresponds to the --exclusive=user option. MCS The job cannot share nodes with other jobs unless they are using the same MCS label. This corresponds to the --exclusive=mcs option. TOPO The job cannot share a topology segment with other jobs. This corresponds to the --exclusive=topo op- tion. NOTE: Partition and Global parameters can set this despite job requests otherwise. ExitCode The exit code returned by the job script or salloc, typi- cally as set by the exit() function. Following the colon is the signal that caused the process to terminate if it was terminated by a signal. Extra The job's extra string when the AccountingStoreFlags para- meter in the slurm.conf file contains 'job_extra'. The Ex- tra string can be modified by invoking sacctmgr modify job command. FailedNode The name of the node whose failure caused the job to be killed. Flags Job flags. Current flags are SchedSubmit, SchedMain, SchedBackfill. GID The group identifier of the user who ran the job. Group The group name of the user who ran the job. JobID The identification number of the job or job step. Regular jobs are in the form: JobID[.JobStep] Array jobs are in the form: ArrayJobID_ArrayTaskID Heterogeneous jobs are in the form: HetJobID+HetJobOffset When printing job arrays, performance 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 environ- ment variable SLURM_BITSTR_LEN to specify larger field sizes. JobIDRaw The identification number of the job or job step. Prints the JobID in the form JobID[.JobStep] for regular, hetero- geneous and array jobs. JobName The name of the job or job step. The slurm_accounting.log file is a space delimited file. Because of this if a space is used in the jobname an underscore is substituted for the space before the record is written to the accounting file. So when the jobname is displayed by sacct the job- name that had a space in it will now have an underscore in place of the space. Layout What the layout of a step was when it was running. This can be used to give you an idea of which node ran which rank in your job. MaxDiskRead Maximum number of bytes read by all tasks in job. MaxDiskReadNode The node on which the maxdiskread occurred. MaxDiskReadTask The task ID where the maxdiskread occurred. MaxDiskWrite Maximum number of bytes written by all tasks in job. MaxDiskWriteNode The node on which the maxdiskwrite occurred. MaxDiskWriteTask The task ID where the maxdiskwrite occurred. MaxPages Maximum number of page faults of all tasks in job. MaxPagesNode The node on which the maxpages occurred. MaxPagesTask The task ID where the maxpages occurred. MaxRSS Maximum resident set size of all tasks in job. MaxRSSNode The node on which the maxrss occurred. MaxRSSTask The task ID where the maxrss occurred. MaxVMSize Maximum Virtual Memory size of all tasks in job. MaxVMSizeNode The node on which the maxvmsize occurred. MaxVMSizeTask The task ID where the maxvmsize occurred. MCSLabel Multi-Category Security (MCS) label associated with the job. Added to a job when the MCSPlugin is enabled in the slurm.conf. MinCPU Minimum (system + user) CPU time of all tasks in job. MinCPUNode The node on which the mincpu occurred. MinCPUTask The task ID where the mincpu occurred. NCPUS Total number of CPUs allocated to the job. Equivalent to AllocCPUS. NNodes Number of nodes in a job or step. If the job is running, or ran, this count will be the number allocated, else the number will be the number requested. NodeList List of nodes in job/step. NTasks Total number of tasks in a job or step. OriginalSLUID The SLUID assigned when the job was first submitted. Re- mains constant during the entire life of the job even if it has been resized. It changes if the job is requeued or restarted. It can be used to correlate runs of jobs which have been resized. This is the SLUID used by command tools during the runtime of the job. OverSubscribe Indicates whether the job can oversubscribe resources with other jobs. NO The job cannot oversubscribe resources with other jobs. YES The user requested that the job be able to oversub- scribe resources with other jobs. This corresponds to the --oversubscribe option. OK The partition allows oversubscribing resources with other jobs. NOTE: Partition and Global parameters can set this despite job requests otherwise. Partition Identifies the partition on which the job ran. Planned How much wall clock time was used as planned time for this job. This is derived from how long a job was waiting from eligible time to when it started or was cancelled. Format is the same as Elapsed. PlannedCPU How many CPU seconds were used as planned time for this job. Format is the same as Elapsed. PlannedCPURAW How many CPU seconds were used as planned time for this job. Format is in processor seconds. Priority Slurm priority. QOS Name of Quality of Service. QOSRAW Numeric id of Quality of Service. QOSREQ List of Quality of Services requested by the job. Reason The last reason a job was blocked from running for some- thing other than Priority or Resources. This will be saved in the database even if the job ran to completion. ReqCPUFreq Requested CPU frequency for the step, in kHz. Note: This value applies only to a job step. No value is reported for the job. ReqCPUFreqGov Requested CPU frequency governor for the step, in kHz. Note: This value applies only to a job step. No value is reported for the job. ReqCPUFreqMax Maximum requested CPU frequency for the step, in kHz. Note: This value applies only to a job step. No value is reported for the job. ReqCPUFreqMin Minimum requested CPU frequency for the step, in kHz. Note: This value applies only to a job step. No value is reported for the job. ReqCPUS Number of requested CPUs. ReqMem Minimum required memory for the job. It may have a letter appended to it indicating units (M for megabytes, G for gigabytes, etc.). Note: This value is only from the job allocation, not the step. ReqNodes Requested minimum Node count for the job/step. ReqTres Trackable resources. These are the minimum resource counts requested by the job/step at submission time. For more details see AccountingStorageTRES in slurm.conf. ReqReservation Comma separated list of reservation names requested by the job. Reservation Reservation Name. ReservationId Reservation Id. Restarts How many times this job has been requeued/restarted. SegmentSize When a block topology is used, this is the size of the segments that will be used to create the job allocation. SLUID A unique identifier for a specific run of a job. Unlike a job ID, the SLUID changes each time a job is re- queued/restarted/resized, allowing different runs of the same job to be distinguished. Previous runs of the job can be shown with the -D/--duplicates option. SLUIDs are glob- ally unique across the accounting system. Start Initiation time of the job. In the same format as End. State Displays the job status, or state. See the JOB STATE CODES section below for a list of possible states. If more information is available on the job state than will fit into the current field width (for example, the UID that CANCELLED a job) the state will be followed by a "+". You can increase the size of the displayed state us- ing the "%NUMBER" format modifier described earlier. NOTE: The RUNNING state will return suspended jobs as well. In order to print suspended jobs you must request SUSPENDED at a different call from RUNNING. NOTE: The RUNNING state will return any jobs completed (cancelled or otherwise) in the time period requested as the job was also RUNNING during that time. If you are only looking for jobs that finished, please choose the appro- priate state(s) without the RUNNING state. StdErr Display the "filename pattern" for stderr redirection specified in a job or in job steps. Path wildcards will not be substituted and will be shown as defined in the original batch submission. StdIn Display the "filename pattern" for stdin redirection spec- ified in a job or in job steps. Path wildcards will not be substituted and will be shown as defined in the original batch submission. StdOut Display the "filename pattern" for stdout redirection specified in a job or in job steps. Path wildcards will not be substituted and will be shown as defined in the original batch submission. Submit The time the job was submitted. In the same format as End. NOTE: If a job is requeued, the submit time is reset. To obtain the original submit time it is necessary to use the -D/--duplicates option to display all duplicate entries for a job. SubmitLine The full command issued to submit the job. Suspended The amount of time a job or job step was suspended. Format is the same as Elapsed. SystemComment The job's comment string that is typically set by a plu- gin. Can only be modified by a Slurm administrator. SystemCPU The amount of system CPU time used by the job or job step. Format is the same as Elapsed. NOTE: See the note for TotalCPU for information about how canceled jobs are handled. Timelimit What the timelimit was/is for the job or job step. Format is the same as Elapsed, but two additional special values can be displayed: Partition_limit Indicates that the job did not have its time limit set and was not yet subjected to a partition Max- Time (i.e. job is pending). You can define the De- faultTime on the partition to avoid seeing this value. UNLIMITED Indicates the job did not have a time limit de- fined. TimelimitRaw What the timelimit was/is for the job or job step. Format is in number of minutes. NOTE: See TimeLimit description. TotalCPU The sum of the SystemCPU and UserCPU time used by the job or job step. The total CPU time of the job may exceed the job's elapsed time for jobs that include multiple job steps. Format is the same as Elapsed. NOTE: For the steps interrupted by signal (e.g. scancel, job timeout) TotalCPU provides a measure of the task's parent process and may not include CPU time of child processes. This is a result of wait3 resource usage (getrusage) internals. For processes completing in regu- lar way all the descendant processes (forks and execs) re- sources are included. However, if the processes are killed the result may differ between proctrack plugins and end- user applications. TresUsageInAve Tres average usage in by all tasks in job. NOTE: If cor- responding TresUsageInMaxTask is -1 the metric is node centric instead of task. TresUsageInMax Tres maximum usage in by all tasks in job. NOTE: If cor- responding TresUsageInMaxTask is -1 the metric is node centric instead of task. TresUsageInMaxNode Node for which each maximum TRES usage out occurred. TresUsageInMaxTask Task for which each maximum TRES usage out occurred. TresUsageInMin Tres minimum usage in by all tasks in job. NOTE: If cor- responding TresUsageInMinTask is -1 the metric is node centric instead of task. TresUsageInMinNode Node for which each minimum TRES usage out occurred. TresUsageInMinTask Task for which each minimum TRES usage out occurred. TresUsageInTot Tres total usage in by all tasks in job. TresUsageOutAve Tres average usage out by all tasks in job. NOTE: If cor- responding TresUsageOutMaxTask is -1 the metric is node centric instead of task. TresUsageOutMax Tres maximum usage out by all tasks in job. NOTE: If cor- responding TresUsageOutMaxTask is -1 the metric is node centric instead of task. TresUsageOutMaxNode Node for which each maximum TRES usage out occurred. TresUsageOutMaxTask Task for which each maximum TRES usage out occurred. TresUsageOutMin Tres minimum usage out by all tasks in job. TresUsageOutMinNode Node for which each minimum TRES usage out occurred. TresUsageOutMinTask Task for which each minimum TRES usage out occurred. TresUsageOutTot Tres total usage out by all tasks in job. UID The user identifier of the user who ran the job. User The user name of the user who ran the job. UserCPU The amount of user CPU time used by the job or job step. Format is the same as Elapsed. NOTE: See the note for TotalCPU for information about how canceled jobs are handled. WCKey Workload Characterization Key. Arbitrary string for grouping orthogonal accounts together. WCKeyID Reference to the wckey. WorkDir The directory used by the job to execute commands. JOB STATE CODES The following states are recognized by sacct. A full list of possible states is available at <https://slurm.schedmd.com/job_state_codes.html>. 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 ad- ministrator. The job may or may not have been initi- ated. CD COMPLETED Job has terminated all processes on all nodes with an exit code of zero. 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 allocated 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. RQ REQUEUED Job was requeued. RS RESIZING Job is about to change size. RV REVOKED Sibling was removed from cluster due to other cluster starting the job. S SUSPENDED Job has an allocation, but execution has been suspended and CPUs have been released for other jobs. TO TIMEOUT Job terminated upon reaching its time limit. DEFAULT TIME WINDOW The options --starttime and --endtime define the time window between which sacct is going to search. For historical and practical reasons their de- fault values (i.e. the default time window) depends on other options: --jobs and --state. Depending on if --jobs and/or --state are specified, the default values of --starttime and --endtime options are: WITHOUT EITHER --jobs NOR --state specified: --starttime defaults to Midnight. --endtime defaults to Now. WITH --jobs AND WITHOUT --state specified: --starttime defaults to Epoch 0. --endtime defaults to Now. WITHOUT --jobs AND WITH --state specified: --starttime defaults to Now. --endtime defaults to --starttime and to Now if --starttime is not speci- fied. WITH BOTH --jobs AND --state specified: --starttime defaults to Epoch 0. --endtime defaults to --starttime or to Now if --starttime is not speci- fied. NOTE: With -v/--verbose a message about the actual time window in use is shown. PERFORMANCE Executing sacct sends a remote procedure call to slurmdbd. If enough calls from sacct or other Slurm client commands that send remote procedure calls to the slurmdbd daemon come in at once, it can result in a degradation of performance of the slurmdbd daemon, possibly resulting in a denial of ser- vice. Do not run sacct or other Slurm client commands that send remote procedure calls to slurmdbd from loops in shell scripts or other programs. Ensure that programs limit calls to sacct to the minimum necessary for the infor- mation you are trying to gather. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES Some sacct options may be set via environment variables. These environment variables, along with their corresponding options, are listed below. (Note: Command line options will always override these settings.) SACCT_FEDERATION Same as --federation SACCT_FORMAT Allows you to define the columns to display in the out- put. Same as --format SACCT_LOCAL Same as --local 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 performance. SLURM_CONF The location of the Slurm configuration file. SLURM_DEBUG_FLAGS Specify debug flags for sacct to use. See DebugFlags in the slurm.conf(5) man page for a full list of flags. The environment variable takes precedence over the set- ting in the slurm.conf. SLURM_JSON Control JSON serialization: compact Output JSON as compact as possible. pretty Output JSON in pretty format to make it more readable. 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 cur- rent day. For other dates in the current year it prints the "hour:minute" preceded by "Tomorr" (tomor- row), "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"). SLURM_YAML Control YAML serialization: compact Output YAML as compact as possible. pretty Output YAML in pretty format to make it more readable. EXAMPLES This example illustrates the default invocation of the sacct command: # sacct Jobid Jobname Partition Account AllocCPUS State ExitCode ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- 2 script01 srun acct1 1 RUNNING 0 3 script02 srun acct1 1 RUNNING 0 4 endscript srun acct1 1 RUNNING 0 4.0 srun acct1 1 COMPLETED 0 This example shows the same job accounting information with the brief op- tion. # sacct --brief Jobid State ExitCode ---------- ---------- -------- 2 RUNNING 0 3 RUNNING 0 4 RUNNING 0 4.0 COMPLETED 0 # sacct --allocations Jobid Jobname Partition Account AllocCPUS State ExitCode ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ------- ---------- -------- 3 sja_init andy acct1 1 COMPLETED 0 4 sjaload andy acct1 2 COMPLETED 0 5 sja_scr1 andy acct1 1 COMPLETED 0 6 sja_scr2 andy acct1 18 COMPLETED 2 7 sja_scr3 andy acct1 18 COMPLETED 0 8 sja_scr5 andy acct1 2 COMPLETED 0 9 sja_scr7 andy acct1 90 COMPLETED 1 10 endscript andy acct1 186 COMPLETED 0 This example demonstrates the ability to customize the output of the sacct command. The fields are displayed in the order designated on the command line. # sacct --format=jobid,elapsed,ncpus,ntasks,state Jobid Elapsed Ncpus Ntasks State ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- 3 00:01:30 2 1 COMPLETED 3.0 00:01:30 2 1 COMPLETED 4 00:00:00 2 2 COMPLETED 4.0 00:00:01 2 2 COMPLETED 5 00:01:23 2 1 COMPLETED 5.0 00:01:31 2 1 COMPLETED This example demonstrates the use of the -T (--truncate) option when used with -S (--starttime) and -E (--endtime). When the -T option is used, the start time of the job will be the specified -S value if the job was started before the specified time, otherwise the time will be the job's start time. The end time will be the specified -E option if the job ends after the specified time, otherwise it will be the jobs end time. Without -T (normal operation) sacct output would be like this. # sacct -S2014-07-03-11:40 -E2014-07-03-12:00 -X -ojobid,start,end,state JobID Start End State --------- --------------------- -------------------- ------------ 2 2014-07-03T11:33:16 2014-07-03T11:59:01 COMPLETED 3 2014-07-03T11:35:21 Unknown RUNNING 4 2014-07-03T11:35:21 2014-07-03T11:45:21 COMPLETED 5 2014-07-03T11:41:01 Unknown RUNNING By adding the -T option the job's start and end times are truncated to re- flect only the time requested. If a job started after the start time re- quested or finished before the end time requested those times are not al- tered. The -T option is useful when determining exact run times during any given period. # sacct -T -S2014-07-03-11:40 -E2014-07-03-12:00 -X -ojobid,jobname,user,start,end,state JobID Start End State --------- --------------------- -------------------- ------------ 2 2014-07-03T11:40:00 2014-07-03T11:59:01 COMPLETED 3 2014-07-03T11:40:00 2014-07-03T12:00:00 RUNNING 4 2014-07-03T11:40:00 2014-07-03T11:45:21 COMPLETED 5 2014-07-03T11:41:01 2014-07-03T12:00:00 RUNNING NOTE: If no -s (--state) option is given sacct will display eligible jobs during the specified period of time, otherwise it will return jobs that were in the state requested during that period of time. This example demonstrates the differences running sacct with and without the --state flag for the same time period. Without the --state option, all eligible jobs in that time period are shown. # sacct -S11:20:00 -E11:25:00 -X -ojobid,start,end,state JobID Start End State ------------ ------------------- ------------------- ---------- 2955 11:15:12 11:20:12 COMPLETED 2956 11:20:13 11:25:13 COMPLETED With the --state=pending option, only job 2956 will be shown because it had a dependency on 2955 and was still PENDING from 11:20:00 until it started at 11:21:13. Note that even though we requested PENDING jobs, the State shows as COMPLETED because that is the current State of the job. # sacct --state=pending -S11:20:00 -E11:25:00 -X -ojobid,start,end,state JobID Start End State ------------ ------------------- ------------------- ---------- 2956 11:20:13 11:25:13 COMPLETED COPYING Copyright (C) 2005-2007 Copyright Hewlett-Packard Development Company L.P.
