Monitor Overall Slurm Usage
To enable research groups to monitor their combined utilization of cluster resources, we have developed a utility called getusage.
We perform nightly querries of Slurm's database to aggrigate usage (in cpu_hours) broken down by user, account, and partition.
These aggrigates are collected from all clusters and made accessible to researchers by running getusage:
[testuser@login1.grace ~]$ getusage --help
Usage: getusage [OPTIONS]
╭─ Options ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ --user -u TEXT User name [default: Current user] │
│ --cluster -c TEXT Filter usage by cluster CLUSTER [default: All] │
│ --partition -p Break usage down by partition │
│ --summary -s Only report monthly summary │
│ --help Show this message and exit. │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
Running without any arguments produces a report for the full fiscal year (starting in July):
[testuser@login1.grace ~]$ getusage
