Description Petr Ptáček 2024-12-05 03:32:25 MST

Hello Dear Mr/Ms,

I would like to ask you about the support for custom plugin, which would be able to store consumed energy for FINISHED jobs into the sacct field ConsumedEnergyRaw or ConsumedEnergy. In the document https://slurm.schedmd.com/SUG13/energy_sensors.pdf i found several premade acct_gather_energy and ext_sensors. But in the github of the slurm in the commit https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/commit/8adfb6f12043f46ea9317b5311c031cb5b373ac9 i found that the fields for the ext_sensors were removed.

So my questions are:
1. Is it still possible to use ext_sensors/rrd plugin?
2. Is it possible for user to implement custom ext_sensors/my-custom-plugin that would just store consumed energy at the end of the job from custom external source? If so, then which interface should be implemented?

Best regards,
PP
