slurm-viewer 0.0.4

View a SLURM cluster and inspect nodes and jobs.

Slurm Viewer

Introduction

View the status of a SLURM cluster, including nodes and queue. This application can be run on the cluster itself or any computer that can ssh into the cluster. Using it via a ssh connection, especially using a jump host can be slow.

Features:

• Overview of all nodes or just nodes in a set of partitions.
• Limit to nodes with GPUs / available GPUs.
• Show the running jobs on a selection of partitions and the jobs waiting to be scheduled.
• Show the GPU memory used over the last 4 weeks.

View the nodes in the selected partitions. View the queue of running and pending jobs. View the GPU utilization and memory usage

Installation

pip install slurm-viewer

Usage

Run slurm-viewer-init to create a default settings file stored in ~/.config/slurm-viewer/settings.toml. Edit this to reflect your setup. Once you have finished run slurm-viewer to start the UI.

Settings

The config files consist of several sections. You can add multiple slurm clusters.

[ui]
node_columns = ["node_name", "state", "gpu_tot", "gpu_alloc", "gpu_avail", "gpu_type", "gpu_mem", "cpu_tot", "cpu_alloc", "cpu_avail", "mem_tot", "mem_alloc", "mem_avail", "cpu_gpu", "mem_gpu", "cpuload", "partitions", "active_features"]
queue_columns = ["user", "job_id", "reason", "exec_host", "start_delay", "run_time", "time_limit", "command"]
priority_columns = ["user_name", "job_id", "job_priority_n", "age_n", "fair_share_n", "partition_name"]

[[clusters]]
name = "cluster_1"
partitions = ["cpu", "gpu"]
node_name_ignore_prefix = ["node"]
server = "cluster_1_logon_node"

[[clusters]]
name = "cluster_2"
partitions = ["cpu-short", "cpu-medium", "cpu-long", "gpu-short", "gpu-medium", "gpu-long"]
server = "cluster_2.logon.node"

If you need to connect using a jumphost/gateway use the ~/.ssh/config to setup the connections and use the Host name as the server.

Example of a ssh config:

Host gateway_1
  User my_user_name
  HostName gateway.somewhere
  
Host cluster_1
  User my_user_name
  HostName logonnode.somewhere
  ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p gateway_1
