Monitoring Usage

There are two general methods to monitor the usage of time for a project:

1.  Monitor through https://monitoring.sdcc.bnl.gov/pub/allocation/lqcd.html.   This is a web portal that shows usage for USQCD sub accounts on the 3 clusters.

For the 2022-23 allocation year, all USQCD projects for IC, Skylake, KNL clusters are listed under the sub-option lqcd-22-23, lqcd-sky-22-23, lqcd-knl-22-23, respectively.   Allocation units for all 3 clusters are sky core hours.

Individual job status can be monitored at https://monitoring.sdcc.bnl.gov/grafana/d/000000018/sdcc-slurm-batch?orgId=1&refresh=1m&var-Cluster=ic. SDCC credential is required to access the page.

2.  The SLURM terminal command sshare and sreport can be used to generate finer grained reports about the usage.  For example. to see a breakdown of the usage under the posnpr-knl-19-20 account from October 1, 2019 through Feb. 29, 2020, this command:

/usr/bin/sreport cluster AccountUtilizationByUser account=posnpr-knl-19-20 start=2019-10-01-00:00 end=2020-02-29-23:59 format=Accounts,Login,Used

returns
