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. Trig- gers 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 sys- tem 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 trigger 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 desired, multiple trigger programs can be set for the same event. NOTE: This command can only set triggers if run by the user SlurmUser unless SlurmUser is configured as user root. This is required for the slurmctld daemon to set the appropriate user and group IDs for the exe- cuted program. 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 af- ter failure. --burst_buffer Trigger event when burst buffer error occurs. --clear Clear or delete a previously defined event trigger. The --id, --jobid or --user option must be specified to identify the trig- ger(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. -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. --front_end Trigger events based upon changes in state of front end nodes rather than compute nodes. Use this option with either the --up or --down option. --get Show registered event triggers. Options can be used for filter- ing 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. 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 trig- ger 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 consid- ered for event triggers. NOTE: The --node option can not be used in conjunction with the --jobid option. When the --jobid option is used in conjunction with the --up, --down or --drained option, all nodes allocated 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 be- tween 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 inter- val. Specify a negative value if action should preceded the event. The default value is zero if no --offset option is spec- ified. The resolution 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, specify --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 operations. -H, --primary_database_resumed_operation Trigger an event when the primary database resumes operation af- ter failure. It happens when the connection to mysql from the accounting 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 slurmdbd, but receives no response on the socket. -G, --primary_slurmdbd_resumed_operation Trigger an event when the primary slurmdbd resumes operation af- ter failure. This event is triggered when opening the connec- tion from slurmctld to slurmdbd results in a response. It can happen also in different situations, periodically every 15 sec- onds when checking the connection status, when saving state, when agent queue is filling, 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 termi- nate within 5 minutes, it will be killed along with any spawned processes. -Q, --quiet Do not report non-fatal errors. This can be useful to clear triggers 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 established 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 exam- ple, a trigger created by user root for a job created by user adam could be cleared with an option --user=root. Specify ei- ther 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. OUTPUT FIELD DESCRIPTIONS TRIG_ID Trigger ID number. RES_TYPE Resource type: job or node RES_ID Resource ID: job ID or host names or "*" for any host TYPE Trigger type: time or fini (for jobs only), down or up (for jobs or nodes), or drained, idle or reconfig (for nodes only) OFFSET Time offset in seconds. Negative numbers indicated the action should occur before the event (if possible) USER Name of the user requesting the action PROGRAM Pathname of the program to execute when the event occurs PERFORMANCE Executing strigger sends a remote procedure call to slurmctld. If enough calls from strigger or other Slurm client commands that send re- mote procedure calls to the slurmctld daemon come in at once, it can result in a degradation of performance of the slurmctld daemon, possi- bly resulting in a denial of service. Do not run strigger or other Slurm client commands that send remote procedure calls to slurmctld from loops in shell scripts or other pro- grams. Ensure that programs limit calls to strigger to the minimum nec- essary for the information you are trying to gather. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES Some strigger 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_CONF The location of the Slurm configuration file. SLURM_DEBUG_FLAGS Specify debug flags for strigger 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.
