Hi,

What information exactly are you wishing to grab from scontol show job once it is finished?  Have you considered using sacct command see here?

https://slurm.schedmd.com/sacct.html

There are many metrics that can be obtained from sacct from completed jobs.

Thanks

Hi Benny,
Thank you for reaching out.
In my hurry I forgot to add that information. Yes, I tried sacct but not sure of what options i should be using.
Basically, I was wondering if it would be possible to get historic information like when the job started, if it was pending (if so reason). etc.
Thanks

Hi,

Indeed you can get that information using sacct.

$ sacct -a -o <list_of_fields>

will give you the list of all the jobs that have ran and are currently running.

You have a number of fields to choose from including start and state you can review those here:

https://slurm.schedmd.com/sacct.html

Also you can go back in time and review jobs from the past by setting start and end times like so:

$ sacct -S <start_time> -E <end_time> -o <list_of_fields>

Note that jobs from the past that have ended will note include pending or running state information.

The "planned" field seen here:

https://slurm.schedmd.com/sacct.html#OPT_Planned

Will let you know how long a job stayed in the key.

Also using Slurm environment variables in you epilog script seen here:

Can also give you useful information once job has terminated.

Thanks
