David,

For monitoring, I use a combination of netdata+prometheus. Data is gathered whenever the nodes are up and stored for history. Yes, when the nodes are powered down, there are empty gaps, but that is interpreted as the node is powered down.

For the config, I have no access to DNS for configless so I use a symlink to the slurm.conf file a shared filesystem. This works great. Anytime there are changes, a simple 'scontrol reconfigure' brings all running nodes up to speed and any down nodes will automatically read the latest.

Hi all,

Interested to know what common approaches were to:

  * Monitoring of power saving nodes (e.g. health of the node), when
    potentially the monitoring system will see it go up and down. Do
    you limit to BMC only monitoring/health?
  * When you want to make changes to slurm.conf (or anything else) to
    a node which is down due to power saving (during a
    maintenance/reservation) what is your approach? Do you end up with
    2 slurm.confs (one for power saving and one that keeps everything
    up, to work on during the maintenance)?


thanks
David
