slurmwatch
Live per-process CPU / memory / GPU telemetry for a running Slurm job — the facts, so you can judge.
See whether your running job is actually using the CPU, memory, and GPUs you requested — live, in your terminal.
Install
pip install slurmwatch # or: uv tool install slurmwatch / pipx install slurmwatch
Python 3.10+ on Linux (cgroup v1/v2). GPU monitoring auto-activates on NVIDIA nodes, and is skipped on CPU-only ones.
Usage
slurmwatch 12345 # watch a specific job
slurmwatch # or auto-discover your running job
sw 12345 # "sw" is a short alias
slurmwatch --help # everything else
Keys — c/m/g drill into CPU / memory / GPU · o/e follow the job's stdout / stderr live · type a node number (or ←/→) to switch node · p expand a truncated path · q back/quit.
It counts only your PIDs (a neighbour on a shared node never inflates your numbers), tracks the real working set against your --mem, and flags an idle GPU that's still holding VRAM — the stuff nvidia-smi and htop won't tell you about your job.
Point it at a pending job and, instead of an error, you get why it's waiting, when it'll start and where you sit in line, and where it could run right now — with the exact scontrol update to requeue into a partition that fits.
Run it from a login node or on the node itself — it attaches either way, and falls back to an sstat summary when it can't.
