Description Bill Broadley 2022-01-24 10:02:53 MST

Everything worked as expected with Slurm version 20.02.5.  We recently upgraded to slurm 21.08.5.

We have a hpcmon user that monitors slurm jobs, from a sacctmgr dump of the user database:
Parent - 'cscdav'
User - 'hpcmon':DefaultAccount='cscdav':AdminLevel='Operator':Fairshare=1

I verified this hasn't changes recently.

So running sacct as user hpcmon used to list all jobs.

Now:
$ id
uid=130420(hpcmon) gid=130420(hpcmon) groups=130420(hpcmon),130986(esp-csc),131178(lex-access),131239(aiops),131715(ay21),132160(ay22),249927(cscdav)

$ sacct
JobID           JobName  Partition    Account  AllocCPUS      State ExitCode 
------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- 
$ 

Expected?  Suggested fix?

Hi Bill,

In both 20.02 and 21.08 the default behavior of sacct is to return only the jobs of the user running the command. To get the job of all users you need to specify -a,--allusers.
The parameter PrivateData can be used to limit who can see all the jobs information, though.

If your user hpcmon runs "sacct -a", does it get all the jobs?

Regards,
Albert

Yes, I thought -a was the default, in case no matter, -a works.  Thanks, closing this ticket.
