slurmctld(8) Slurm Daemon slurmctld(8) NAME slurmctld - The central management daemon of Slurm. SYNOPSIS slurmctld [OPTIONS...] DESCRIPTION slurmctld is the central management daemon of Slurm. It monitors all other Slurm daemons and resources, accepts work (jobs), and allocates resources to those jobs. Given the critical functionality of slurmctld, there may be a backup server to assume these functions in the event that the primary server fails. OPTIONS -c Clear all previous slurmctld state from its last checkpoint. With this option, all jobs, including both running and queued, and all node states, will be deleted. Without this option, pre- viously running jobs will be preserved along with node State of DOWN, DRAINED and DRAINING nodes and the associated Reason field for those nodes. NOTE: It is rare you would ever want to use this in production as all jobs will be killed. -D Run slurmctld in the foreground with logging copied to stderr. This limits the resilience of 'scontrol reconfigure' and should be avoided in production. -f <file> Read configuration from the specified file. See NOTES below. -h Help; print a brief summary of command options. -i Ignore errors found while reading in state files on startup. Warning: Use of this option will mean losing the data that wasn't recovered from the state files. -L <file> Write log messages to the specified file. -n <value> Set the daemon's nice value to the specified value, typically a negative number. -r Recover partial state from last checkpoint: jobs and node DOWN/DRAIN state and reason information state. No partition state is recovered. This is the default action. -R Recover full state from last checkpoint: jobs, node, partition state, and power save settings. Without this option, previously running jobs will be preserved along with node State of DOWN, DRAINED and DRAINING nodes and the associated Reason field for those nodes. No other node or partition state will be preserved. -s Change working directory of slurmctld to SlurmctldLogFile path if possible, or to Slurm's StateSaveLocation otherwise. If both of them fail it will fallback to /var/tmp. --systemd Use when starting the daemon with systemd. This will allow slurmctld to notify systemd of the new PID when using 'scontrol reconfigure'. NOTE: The User and Group options in the slurmctld's systemd unit file need to both specify the SlurmUser. -v Verbose operation. Multiple v's can be specified, with each 'v' beyond the first increasing verbosity, up to 6 times (i.e. -vvvvvv). -V Print version information and exit. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES The following environment variables can be used to override settings compiled into slurmctld. ABORT_ON_FATAL When a fatal error is detected, use abort() instead of exit() to terminate the process. This allows backtraces to be captured without recompiling Slurm. SLURM_CONF The location of the Slurm configuration file. This is overridden by explicitly naming a configuration file on the command line. SLURM_DEBUG_FLAGS Specify debug flags for the scheduler to use. See DebugFlags 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. HTTP server Unless disabled via CommunicationParameters=disable_http in slurm.conf, slurmctld will accept incoming HTTP/1.1 compliant requests to any socket listening as configured by SlurmctldPort in slurm.conf. Authen- tication of HTTP requests is not supported. TLS wrapping optionally supported without requiring TLSType in slurm.conf. The following end- points are currently supported: GET / Get list of endpoints. GET /healthz Test if slurmctld loaded successfully. GET /livez Test if slurmctld loaded successfully. GET /readyz[?verbose] Test if slurmctld is ready to accept incoming RPCs. Adding the verbose query parameter will result in a verbose output of each probe in the response. GET /metrics/jobs Get job metrics. GET /metrics/nodes Get node metrics. GET /metrics/partitions Get partition metrics. GET /metrics/scheduler Return scheduler metrics. GET /metrics/jobs-users-accts Return user and account job metrics. When multiple SlurmctldHost entries are configured, a daemon in standby mode will answer GET /metrics* with HTTP 303 "See Other" with the Loca- tion header pointing to the same path and query on the first listed controller. If no such address is available, the response will be HTTP 503 "Service Unavailable" instead of a redirect. See SlurmctldHost in slurm.conf(5). CORE FILE LOCATION If slurmctld is started with the -D option then the core file will be written to the current working directory. Otherwise if SlurmctldLog- File is a fully qualified path name (starting with a slash), the core file will be written to the same directory as the log file, provided SlurmUser has write permission on the directory. Otherwise the core file will be written to the StateSaveLocation, or "/var/tmp/" as a last resort. If none of the above directories have write permission for SlurmUser, no core file will be produced. SIGNALS SIGTERM SIGINT SIGQUIT slurmctld will shutdown cleanly, saving its current state to the state save directory. SIGABRT slurmctld will shutdown cleanly, saving its current state, and perform a core dump. SIGHUP Reloads the slurm configuration files, similar to 'scontrol re- configure'. SIGTSTP Stop the process from a terminal. This also stops slurmscriptd. SIGUSR2 Reread the log level from the configs, and then reopen the log file. This should be used when setting up logrotate(8). SIGPROF Logs connection manager state when debug level is at least info. SIGCHLD SIGUSR1 SIGXCPU SIGPIPE SIGALRM These signals are explicitly ignored. NOTES It may be useful to experiment with different slurmctld specific con- figuration parameters using a distinct configuration file (e.g. time- outs). However, this special configuration file will not be used by the slurmd daemon or the Slurm programs, unless you specifically tell each of them to use it. If you desire changing communication ports, the lo- cation of the temporary file system, or other parameters used by other Slurm components, change the common configuration file, slurm.conf.
