Hi. I am setting up a new slurm cluster instance. And I just went through what I thought were the right steps to get job accounting going with slurmdbd.
So I know that slurmdbd itself works as I can use the sacctmgr commands to add users and accounts, and the users cannot run jobs unless I first add them with sacctmgr . What's interesting is that sreport is not showing any of the job information pieces at all. Eg: So, I use srun to run a quick test job, and then: $ sreport cluster UserUtilizationByAccount End=11/01/18 comes back empty. sacct show information which is evidently still going to /var/log/slurm_jobacct.log ... even though in slurm.conf I have: AccountingStorageType=accounting_storage/slurmdbd Now what's even more interesting is that as I was writing this email, the output of sreport has updated to show more info, as if some scheduled job someplace updated something. I don't see anything in cron, though. As far as I can tell, the only thing I did was to use sacctmgr to delete and readd a user. Any thoughts on what is causing sreport's output to update/not update?
