strigger(1)			 Slurm Commands 		     strigger(1)

NAME
     strigger - Used to set, get or clear Slurm trigger information.

SYNOPSIS
     strigger --set   [OPTIONS...]
     strigger --get   [OPTIONS...]
     strigger --clear [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION
     strigger  is used to set, get or clear Slurm trigger information.	Triggers
     include events such as a node failing, a job reaching its time limit  or  a
     job  terminating.	 These events can cause actions such as the execution of
     an arbitrary script.  Typical uses include notifying system  administrators
     of  node  failures  and gracefully terminating a job when its time limit is
     approaching.  A hostlist expression for the nodelist or job ID is passed as
     an argument to the program.

     Trigger events are not processed instantly, but a check  is  performed  for
     trigger events on a periodic basis (currently every 15 seconds).  Any trig-
     ger  events  which  occur within that interval will be compared against the
     trigger programs set at the end of the time interval.  The trigger  program
     will be executed once for any event occurring in that interval.  The record
     of  those	events	(e.g.  nodes which went DOWN in the previous 15 seconds)
     will then be cleared.  The trigger program must set a  new  trigger  before
     the end of the next interval to ensure that no trigger events are missed OR
     the  trigger  must  be  created with an argument of "--flags=PERM".  If de-
     sired, multiple trigger programs can be set for the same event.

     NOTE: This command can only set triggers if run by the user  SlurmUser  un-
     less SlurmUser is configured as user root.  This is required for the slurm-
     ctld daemon to set the appropriate user and group IDs for the executed pro-
     gram.  Also note that the trigger program is executed on the same node that
     the  slurmctld  daemon  uses  rather  than some allocated compute node.  To
     check the value of SlurmUser, run the command:

	    scontrol show config | grep SlurmUser

ARGUMENTS
     -C, --backup_slurmctld_assumed_control
	    Trigger event when backup slurmctld assumes control.

     -B, --backup_slurmctld_failure
	    Trigger an event when the backup slurmctld fails.

     -c, --backup_slurmctld_resumed_operation
	    Trigger an event when the backup slurmctld resumes	operation  after
	    failure.

     --burst_buffer
	    Trigger event when burst buffer error occurs.

     --clear
	    Clear or delete a previously defined event trigger.  The --id, --jo-
	    bid or --user option must be specified to identify the trigger(s) to
	    be	cleared.   Only  user root or the trigger's creator can delete a
	    trigger.

     -M, --clusters=<string>
	    Clusters to issue commands to.  Note that the slurmdbd  must  be  up
	    for  this  option  to  work properly, unless running in a federation
	    with FederationParameters=fed_display configured.

     -d, --down
	    Trigger an event if the specified node goes into a DOWN state.

     -D, --drained
	    Trigger an event if the specified node goes into a DRAINED state.

     --draining
	    Trigger an event if the specified node goes into a	DRAINING  state,
	    before it is DRAINED.

     -F, --fail
	    Trigger an event if the specified node goes into a FAILING state.

     -f, --fini
	    Trigger an event when the specified job completes execution.

     --flags=<flag>
	    Associate flags with the reservation. Multiple flags should be comma
	    separated.	Valid flags include:

	    PERM   Make  the  trigger permanent. Do not purge it after the event
		   occurs.

     --get  Show registered event triggers.  Options can be used  for  filtering
	    purposes.

     -i, --id=<id>
	    Trigger ID number.

     -I, --idle
	    Trigger  an event if the specified node remains in an IDLE state for
	    at least the time period specified by the --offset option. This  can
	    be useful to hibernate a node that remains idle, thus reducing power
	    consumption.

     -j, --jobid=<id>
	    Job  ID  of interest. A SLUID may also be used in place of a numeric
	    job ID.  The RES_ID is stored as specified. If a SLUID  is	used  to
	    set a trigger, the trigger must be queried or cleared using the same
	    SLUID,  not  the numeric job ID (and vice versa).  NOTE: The --jobid
	    option can not be used in conjunction with the --node  option.  When
	    the  --jobid  option  is used in conjunction with the --up or --down
	    option, all nodes allocated to that job will  considered  the  nodes
	    used as a trigger event.

     -n, --node[=host]
	    Host name(s) of interest.  By default, all nodes associated with the
	    job  (if  --jobid  is specified) or on the system are considered for
	    event triggers.  NOTE: The --node option can not be used in conjunc-
	    tion with the --jobid option. When the --jobid  option  is	used  in
	    conjunction with the --up, --down or --drained option, all nodes al-
	    located  to  that  job  will  considered the nodes used as a trigger
	    event. 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 "-ntux" and not
	    "-n tux".

     -N, --noheader
	    Do not print the header when displaying a list of triggers.

     -o, --offset=<seconds>
	    The specified action should follow the event by this time  interval.
	    Specify  a	negative value if action should preceded the event.  The
	    default value is zero if no --offset option is specified.  The reso-
	    lution of this time is about 20 seconds, so to execute a script  not
	    less than five minutes prior to a job reaching its time limit, spec-
	    ify --offset=320 (5 minutes plus 20 seconds).

     -h, --primary_database_failure
	    Trigger  an  event	when  the  primary database fails. This event is
	    triggered when the accounting plugin tries to open a connection with
	    mysql and it fails and the slurmctld needs the database for some op-
	    erations.

     -H, --primary_database_resumed_operation
	    Trigger an event when the primary database resumes	operation  after
	    failure.   It happens when the connection to mysql from the account-
	    ing plugin is restored.

     -g, --primary_slurmdbd_failure
	    Trigger an event when the primary slurmdbd	fails.	The  trigger  is
	    launched  by slurmctld in the occasions it tries to connect to slur-
	    mdbd, but receives no response on the socket.

     -G, --primary_slurmdbd_resumed_operation
	    Trigger an event when the primary slurmdbd resumes	operation  after
	    failure.   This  event is triggered when opening the connection from
	    slurmctld to slurmdbd results in a response. It can happen	also  in
	    different  situations,  periodically  every 15 seconds when checking
	    the connection status, when saving state, when agent queue is  fill-
	    ing, and so on.

     -e, --primary_slurmctld_acct_buffer_full
	    Trigger an event when primary slurmctld accounting buffer is full.

     -a, --primary_slurmctld_failure
	    Trigger an event when the primary slurmctld fails.

     -b, --primary_slurmctld_resumed_control
	    Trigger an event when primary slurmctld resumes control.

     -A, --primary_slurmctld_resumed_operation
	    Trigger an event when the primary slurmctld resuming operation after
	    failure.

     -p, --program=<path>
	    Execute  the  program at the specified fully qualified pathname when
	    the event occurs.  You may quote the path and include extra  program
	    arguments  if desired.  The program will be executed as the user who
	    sets the trigger.  If the program fails to terminate within  5  min-
	    utes, it will be killed along with any spawned processes.

     -Q, --quiet
	    Do	not  report non-fatal errors.  This can be useful to clear trig-
	    gers which may have already been purged.

     -r, --reconfig
	    Trigger an event when the system  configuration  changes.	This  is
	    triggered  when the slurmctld daemon reads its configuration file or
	    when a node state changes.

     -R, --resume
	    Trigger an event if the specified node is set to the RESUME state.

     --set  Register an event trigger based upon the supplied options.	NOTE: An
	    event is only triggered once. A new event trigger must be set estab-
	    lished for future events of the same type to be processed.	Triggers
	    can only be set if the command is run by the user  SlurmUser  unless
	    SlurmUser is configured as user root.

     -t, --time
	    Trigger  an  event	when  the specified job's time limit is reached.
	    This must be used in conjunction with the --jobid option.

     -u, --up
	    Trigger an event if the specified node is returned to service from a
	    DOWN state.

     --user=<user_name_or_id>
	    Clear or get triggers created by the specified user.  For example, a
	    trigger created by user root for a job created by user adam could be
	    cleared with an option --user=root.  Specify either a user	name  or
	    user ID.

     -v, --verbose
	    Print  detailed  event  logging.  This  includes time-stamps on data
	    structures, record counts, etc.

     -V , --version
	    Print version information and exit.

PERFORMANCE
     Executing	strigger  sends  a remote procedure call to slurmctld. If enough
     calls from strigger or other Slurm client commands that send remote  proce-
     dure  calls  to  the  slurmctld  daemon come in at once, it can result in a
     degradation of performance of the slurmctld daemon, possibly resulting in a
     denial of service.

     Do not run strigger or other Slurm client commands that send remote  proce-
     dure  calls to slurmctld from loops in shell scripts or other programs. En-
     sure that programs limit calls to strigger to the minimum necessary for the
     information you are trying to gather.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     Some strigger options may be set via environment variables. These	environ-
     ment  variables,  along with their corresponding options, are listed below.
     (Note: Command line options will always override these settings.)

     SLURM_CONF 	 The location of the Slurm configuration file.

     SLURM_DEBUG_FLAGS	 Specify debug flags for strigger 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.

EXAMPLES
     Execute the program "/usr/sbin/primary_slurmctld_failure" whenever the pri-
     mary slurmctld fails.

	    $ cat /usr/sbin/primary_slurmctld_failure
	    #!/bin/bash
	    # Submit trigger for next primary slurmctld failure event
	    strigger --set --primary_slurmctld_failure \
		     --program=/usr/sbin/primary_slurmctld_failure
	    # Notify the administrator of the failure using e-mail
	    /bin/mail slurm_admin@site.com -s Primary_SLURMCTLD_FAILURE

	    $ strigger --set --primary_slurmctld_failure \
		       --program=/usr/sbin/primary_slurmctld_failure

     Execute the program "/usr/sbin/slurm_admin_notify" whenever any node in the
     cluster goes down. The subject line will include the node names which have
     entered the down state (passed as an argument to the script by Slurm).

	    $ cat /usr/sbin/slurm_admin_notify
	    #!/bin/bash
	    # Submit trigger for next event
	    strigger --set --node --down \
		     --program=/usr/sbin/slurm_admin_notify
	    # Notify administrator using by e-mail
	    /bin/mail slurm_admin@site.com -s NodesDown:$*

	    $ strigger --set --node --down \
		       --program=/usr/sbin/slurm_admin_notify

     Execute the program "/usr/sbin/slurm_suspend_node" whenever any node in the
     cluster remains in the idle state for at least 600 seconds.

	    $ strigger --set --node --idle --offset=600 \
		       --program=/usr/sbin/slurm_suspend_node

     Execute the program "/home/joe/clean_up" when job 1234 is within 10 minutes
     of reaching its time limit.

	    $ strigger --set --jobid=1234 --time --offset=-600 \
		       --program=/home/joe/clean_up

     Execute the program "/home/joe/node_died" when any node allocated to job
     1234 enters the DOWN state.

	    $ strigger --set --jobid=1234 --down \
		       --program=/home/joe/node_died

     Show all triggers associated with job 1235.

	    $ strigger --get --jobid=1235
	    TRIG_ID RES_TYPE RES_ID TYPE OFFSET USER PROGRAM
		123	 job   1235 time   -600  joe /home/bob/clean_up
		125	 job   1235 down      0  joe /home/bob/node_died

     Delete event trigger 125.

	    $ strigger --clear --id=125

     Execute /home/joe/job_fini upon completion of job 1237.

	    $ strigger --set --jobid=1237 --fini --program=/home/joe/job_fini
