.TH sacct "1" "Slurm Commands" "June 2025" "Slurm Commands"

.SH "NAME"
sacct \- displays accounting data for all jobs and job steps in the
Slurm job accounting log or Slurm database

.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fBsacct\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR...]

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Accounting information for jobs invoked with Slurm are either logged
in the job accounting log file or saved to the Slurm database, as
configured with the AccountingStorageType parameter.
.PP
The \f3sacct\fP command displays job accounting data stored in the job
accounting log file or Slurm database in a variety of forms for your
analysis. The \f3sacct\fP command displays information on jobs, job
steps, status, and exitcodes by default. You can tailor the output
with the use of the \f3\-\-format=\fP option to specify the fields to
be shown.
.PP
Job records consist of a primary entry for the job as a whole as well as
entries for job steps. The Job Launch page has a more detailed description
of each type of job step.
<https://slurm.schedmd.com/job_launch.html#job_record>
.PP
For the root user, the \f3sacct\fP command displays job accounting
data for all users, although there are options to filter the output to
report only the jobs from a specified user or group.
.PP
For the non\-root user, the \f3sacct\fP command limits the display of
job accounting data to jobs that were launched with their own user
identifier (UID) by default. Data for other users can be displayed
with the \f3\-\-allusers\fP, \f3\-\-user\fP, or \f3\-\-uid\fP options.
.PP
Elapsed time fields are presented as
[days\-]hours:minutes:seconds[.microseconds]. Only 'CPU' fields will
ever have microseconds.

\fBNOTE\fR: If designated, the slurmdbd.conf option PrivateData may further
restrict the accounting data visible to users which are not
SlurmUser, root, or a user with AdminLevel=Admin. See the
slurmdbd.conf man page for additional details on restricting
access to accounting data.

\fBNOTE\fR: The contents of Slurm's database are maintained in lower case.
This may result in some \f3sacct\fP output differing from that of other Slurm
commands.

\fBNOTE\fR: Much of the data reported by \f3sacct\fP has been generated by
the \f2wait3()\fP and \f2getrusage()\fP system calls. Some systems
gather and report incomplete information for these calls;
\f3sacct\fP reports values of 0 for this missing data. See your systems
\f2getrusage (3)\fP man page for information about which data are
actually available on your system.

.SH "OPTIONS"

.TP "10"
\fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-accounts\fR=<\fIaccount_list\fR>
Displays jobs when a comma separated list of accounts are given as the
argument.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-\-array\fR
Expand job arrays. Display all array tasks on separate lines instead of
displaying groups of array tasks on single lines.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-L\fR, \fB\-\-allclusters\fR
Display jobs ran on all clusters. By default, only jobs ran on the
cluster from where \fBsacct\fR is called are displayed.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-X\fR, \fB\-\-allocations\fR
Only show statistics relevant to the job allocation itself, not taking steps
into consideration.

\fBNOTE\fR: Without including steps, utilization statistics for job
allocation(s) will be reported as zero.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-allusers\fR
Displays all users' jobs when run by user root or if \fBPrivateData\fP is not
configured to \fBjobs\fP.
Otherwise display the current user's jobs
.IP

.TP
\fB\-x\fR, \fB\-\-associations\fR=<\fIassoc_list\fR>
Displays the statistics only for the jobs running under the
association ids specified by the \fBassoc_list\fR operand, which is a
comma\-separated list of association ids. Space characters are not
allowed in the \fBassoc_list\fR. Default is all associations\&.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-B\fR, \fB\-\-batch\-script\fR
This option will print the batch script of job if the job used one. If the job
didn't have a script 'NONE' is output.
.br
\fBNOTE\fR: AccountingStoreFlags=job_script is required for this.
.br
\fBNOTE\fR: Requesting specific job(s) with '\-j' is required for this.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-brief\fR
Displays a brief listing consisting of JobID, State, and ExitCode.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-M\fR, \fB\-\-clusters\fR=<\fIcluster_list\fR>
Displays the statistics only for the jobs started on the clusters
specified by the \fIcluster_list\fR operand, which is a
comma\-separated list of clusters. Space characters are not allowed
in the \fIcluster_list\fR.
A value of '\fIall\fR' will query to run on all clusters.
The default is current cluster you are executing the \fBsacct\fR command on or
all clusters in the federation when executed on a federated cluster.
This option implicitly sets the \fB\-\-local\fR option.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-completion\fR
Use job completion data instead of job accounting. The \fBJobCompType\fR
parameter in the slurm.conf file must be defined to a non\-none option.
Does not support federated cluster information (local data only).
.IP

.TP
\fB\-C\fR, \fB\-\-constraints\fR=<\fIconstraint_list\fR>
Comma separated list to filter jobs based on what constraints/features the job
requested. Multiple options will be treated as 'and' not 'or', so the job would
need all constraints specified to be returned not one or the other.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-\-delimiter\fR=<\fIcharacters\fR>
ASCII characters used to separate the fields when specifying
the \fB\-p\fR or \fB\-P\fR options. The default delimiter
is a '|'. This option is ignored if \fB\-p\fR or \fB\-P\fR options
are not specified.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-D\fR, \fB\-\-duplicates\fR
If Slurm job ids are reset, some job numbers will probably appear more
than once in the accounting log file but refer to different jobs.
Such jobs can be distinguished by the "submit" time stamp in the data
records.
.IP

When data for specific jobs are requested with the \-\-jobs option,
\fBsacct\fR returns the most recent job with that number. This
behavior can be overridden by specifying \-\-duplicates, in which case
all records that match the selection criteria will be returned.
.IP

\fBNOTE\fR: Revoked federated sibling jobs are hidden unless the
\fB\-\-duplicates\fR option is specified.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-E\fR, \fB\-\-endtime\fR=<\fIend_time\fR>
Select jobs in any state before the specified time. If states are
given with the \-s option return jobs in this state before this period.
See the \fBDEFAULT TIME WINDOW\fR section (below) for details about how the
default values for \-\-starttime and \-\-endtime are determined.

Valid time formats are:
.br
HH:MM[:SS][AM|PM]
.br
MMDD[YY][\-HH:MM[:SS]]
.br
MM.DD[.YY][\-HH:MM[:SS]]
.br
MM/DD[/YY][\-HH:MM[:SS]]

.IP

.TP
\fB\-\-env\-vars\fR
This option will print the running environment of a batch job, otherwise 'NONE'
is output.
.br
\fBNOTE\fR: AccountingStoreFlags=job_env is required for this.
.br
\fBNOTE\fR: Requesting specific job(s) with '\-j' is required for this.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-\-expand\-patterns\fR
Expand any filename patterns from in \f3StdOut\fP, \f3StdErr\fP and \f3StdIn\fP.
Fields that map to a range of values will use the first value of the range. For
example "%t" for task id will be replaced by "0".
.IP

.TP
\fB\-\-federation\fR
Show jobs from the federation if a member of one.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-file\fR=<\fIfile\fR>
Causes the \f3sacct\fP command to read job accounting data from the
named \f2file\fP instead of the current Slurm job accounting log
file. Only applicable when running the jobcomp/filetxt plugin. Setting this flag
implicitly enables the \-c flag.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-F\fR, \fB\-\-flags\fR=<\fIflag_list\fR>
Comma separated list to filter jobs based on what various ways the jobs were
handled. Current flags are SchedSubmit, SchedMain, SchedBackfill and
StartReceived. SchedSubmit, SchedMain, SchedBackfill describe the scheduler
that started the job.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-format\fR
Comma separated list of fields. (use "\-\-helpformat" for a list of
available fields).

\fBNOTE\fR: When using the format option for listing various fields you can put
a %NUMBER afterwards to specify how many characters should be printed.

e.g. format=name%30 will print 30 characters of field name right
justified. A %\-30 will print 30 characters left justified.

When set, the SACCT_FORMAT environment variable will override the
default format. For example:

SACCT_FORMAT="jobid,user,account,cluster"
.IP

.TP
\fB\-g\fR, \fB\-\-gid\fR=, \fB\-\-group\fR=<\fIgid_or_group_list\fR>
Displays the statistics only for the jobs started with the GID
or the GROUP specified by the \fIgid_list\fR or the \fIgroup_list\fR operand,
which is a comma\-separated list. Space characters are not allowed.
Default is no restrictions.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
Displays a general help message.

\fBNOTE\fR: When using with Ave[RSS|VM]Size or their values in
TRESUsageIn[Ave|Tot]. They represent the average/total of the highest
watermarks over all ranks in the step. When using sstat they represent the
average/total at the moment the command was run.

\fBNOTE\fR: TRESUsage*Min* values represent the lowest highwater mark in the
step.

\fBNOTE\fR: Availability of metrics rely on the \fBjobacct_gather\fP plugin
used. For example the jobacct_gather/cgroup in combination with cgroup/v2 does
not provide Virtual Memory metrics due to limitations in the kernel cgroups
interfaces and will show a 0 for the related fields.

The section titled "Job Accounting Fields" describes these fields.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-j\fR, \fB\-\-jobs\fR=<\fIjob\fR[.\fIstep\fR]>
Displays information about the specified \fIjob\fR[.\fIstep\fR] or list of
\fIjob\fR[.\fIstep\fR]s.

The \fIjob\fR[.\fIstep\fR]
parameter is a comma\-separated list of jobs.
Space characters are not permitted in this list.
.br
\fBNOTE\fR: A step id of 'batch' will display the information about the
batch step.
.br
By default sacct shows only jobs with Eligible time, but with this
option the non\-eligible will be also shown.
.br
\fBNOTE\fR: If \-\-state is also specified, as non\-eligible are not PD,
then non\-eligible jobs will not be displayed.
See the \fBDEFAULT TIME WINDOW\fR section (below) for details about how this
option changes the default values for \-\-starttime and \-\-endtime.

Display jobs that ran on any of these node(s). \fInode_list\fR can be
a ranged string.

\fBNOTE\fR: This is not reliable when nodes are added or removed to Slurm
while jobs are running. Only jobs that started in the specified time range
(\-S, \-E) will be returned.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-noheader\fR
No heading will be added to the output. The default action is to
display a header.

Comma separated list to filter jobs based on what reason the job wasn't
scheduled outside resources/priority.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-S\fR, \fB\-\-starttime\fR
Select jobs in any state after the specified time. Default is 00:00:00
of the
current day, unless the '\-s' or '\-j' options are used. If the '\-s' option is
used, then the default is 'now'. If states are given with the '\-s' option then
only jobs in this state at this time will be returned. If the '\-j' option is
used, then the default time is Unix Epoch 0. See the \fBDEFAULT TIME WINDOW\fR
section (below) for details about how default values for \-\-starttime and
\-\-endtime are determined.

Valid time formats are:
.br
HH:MM[:SS][AM|PM]

.IP

.TP
\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-state\fR=<\fIstate_list\fR>
Selects jobs based on their state during the time period given.
Unless otherwise specified, the start and end time will be the
current time when the \fB\-\-state\fR option is specified and
only currently running jobs can be displayed.
A start and/or end time must be specified to view information about
jobs not currently running.
See the \fBJOB STATE CODES\fR section below for a list of state designators.
Multiple state names may be specified using comma separators. Either the short
or long form of the state name may be used (e.g. \fBCA\fR or \fBCANCELLED\fR)
and the name is case insensitive (i.e. \fRca\fR and \fBCA\fR both work).

\fBNOTE\fR: Note for a job to be selected in the PENDING state it must have
"EligibleTime" in the requested time interval or different from "Unknown". The
"EligibleTime" is displayed by the "scontrol show job" command. For example
jobs submitted with the "\-\-hold" option will have "EligibleTime=Unknown" as
they are pending indefinitely.

\fBNOTE\fR: When specifying states and no start time is given the default
start time is 'now'. This is only when \-j is not used. If \-j is used the
start time will default to 'Epoch'. In both cases if no end time is given it
will default to 'now'. See the \fBDEFAULT TIME WINDOW\fR section (below) for
details about how this option changes the default values for \-\-starttime
and \-\-endtime.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-K\fR, \fB\-\-timelimit\-max\fR
Ignored by itself, but if timelimit_min is set this will be the
maximum timelimit of the range. Default is no restriction.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-timelimit\-min\fR
Only send data about jobs with this timelimit. If used with
timelimit_max this will be the minimum timelimit of the range.
Default is no restriction.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-T\fR, \fB\-\-truncate\fR
Truncate time. So if a job started before \-\-starttime the start time
would be truncated to \-\-starttime. The same for end time and \-\-endtime.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-u\fB, \fB\-\-uid\fR=, \fB\-\-user\fR=<\fIuid_or_user_list\fR>
Use this comma separated list of UIDs or user names to select jobs to
display. By default, the running user's UID is used.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-\-units\fR=[\fBKMGTP\fR]
Display values in specified unit type. Takes precedence over \fB\-\-noconvert\fR
option.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-\-usage\fR
Display a command usage summary.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-\-use\-local\-uid\fR
When displaying UID, sacct uses the UID stored in Slurm's accounting database
by default. Use this command to make Slurm use a system call to get the UID
from the username. This option may be useful in an environment with multiple
clusters and one database where the UIDs aren't the same on all clusters.

\fB\-V\fB, \fB\-\-version\fR
Print version.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-W\fR, \fB\-\-wckeys\fR=<\fIwckey_list\fR>
Displays the statistics only for the jobs started on the wckeys
specified by the \f2wckey_list\fP operand, which is a comma\-separated
list of wckey names. Space characters are not allowed in the
\f2wckey_list\fP. Default is all wckeys\&.
.IP

.TP
\fB\-\-whole\-hetjob\fR[=yes|no]
When querying and filtering heterogeneous jobs with \fB\-\-jobs\fR, Slurm will
default to retrieving information about all the components of the job if the
het_job_id (leader id) is selected. If a non\-leader heterogeneous job component
id is selected then only that component is retrieved by default. This behavior
can be changed by using this option. If set to 'yes' (or no argument), then
information about all the components will be retrieved no matter which component
is selected in the job filter. If set to 'no' then only the selected
heterogeneous job component(s) will be retrieved, even when selecting the
leader.
.IP

.TP
\f3\-\-yaml\fP, \f3\-\-yaml\fP=\fIlist\fR, \f3\-\-yaml\fP=<\fIdata_parser\fR>
Dump job information as YAML using the default data_parser plugin or explicit
data_parser with parameters. Sorting and formatting arguments will be ignored.
.IP

.SS "Job Accounting Fields"
Descriptions of each field option can be found below.
Note that the Ave*, Max* and Min* accounting fields look at the values for
all the tasks of each step in a job and return the average, maximum or minimum
values of the task for that job step. For example, for MaxRSS, the returned
value is the maximum memory consumption seen by one of the tasks of the step,
and MaxRSSTask shows which task it is.

The total CPU time of the job may exceed the job's elapsed time for
jobs that include multiple job steps. Format is the same as \f3Elapsed\fP.

\fBNOTE\fR: For the steps interrupted by signal (e.g. scancel, job timeout)
TotalCPU provides a measure of the task's parent process and may not include
CPU time of child processes.
This is a result of \f3wait3\fP resource usage (\f3getrusage\fP) internals.
For processes completing in regular way all the descendant processes (forks and
execs) resources are included. However, if the processes are killed the result
may differ between proctrack plugins and end-user applications.
\"Proctrack pgid is significantly different, since it makes use of killpg
\"not kill, which seems to allow better resources usage gathering.

.SH "DEFAULT TIME WINDOW"
.PP
The options \-\-starttime and \-\-endtime define the time window between
which \fBsacct\fR is going to search. For historical and practical
reasons their default values (i.e. the default time window)
depends on other options: \-\-jobs and \-\-state.

Depending on if \-\-jobs and/or \-\-state are specified, the default
values of \fB\-\-starttime\fR  and \fB\-\-endtime\fR options are:

.LP
WITHOUT EITHER \fB\-\-jobs\fR NOR \fB\-\-state\fR\fP specified:
.br
\fB\-\-starttime\fR defaults to Midnight.
.br
\fB\-\-endtime\fR defaults to Now.

.LP
WITH \fB\-\-jobs\fR AND WITHOUT \fB\-\-state\fR\fP specified:
.br
\fB\-\-starttime\fR defaults to Epoch 0.
.br
\fB\-\-endtime\fR defaults to Now.

.SH "PERFORMANCE"
.PP
Executing \fBsacct\fR sends a remote procedure call to \fBslurmdbd\fR. If
enough calls from \fBsacct\fR or other Slurm client commands that send remote
procedure calls to the \fBslurmdbd\fR daemon come in at once, it can result in a
degradation of performance of the \fBslurmdbd\fR daemon, possibly resulting in a
denial of service.
.PP
Do not run \fBsacct\fR or other Slurm client commands that send remote procedure
calls to \fBslurmdbd\fR from loops in shell scripts or other programs. Ensure
that programs limit calls to \fBsacct\fR to the minimum necessary for the
information you are trying to gather.

.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
.PP
Some \fBsacct\fR options may

\fBSLURM_TIME_FORMAT\fR
Specify the format used to report time stamps. A value of \fIstandard\fR, the
default value, generates output in the form "year\-month\-dateThour:minute:second".
A value of \fIrelative\fR returns only "hour:minute:second" if the current day.
For other dates in the current year it prints the "hour:minute" preceded by
"Tomorr" (tomorrow), "Ystday" (yesterday), the name of the day for the coming
week (e.g. "Mon", "Tue", etc.), otherwise the date (e.g. "25 Apr").
For other years it returns a date month and year without a time (e.g.
"6 Jun 2012"). All of the time stamps use a 24 hour format.

A valid strftime() format can also be specified. For example, a value of
"%a %T" will report the day of the week and a time stamp (e.g. "Mon 12:34:56").

This example demonstrates the use of the \-T (\-\-truncate) option when
used with \-S (\-\-starttime) and \-E (\-\-endtime). When the \-T option is
used, the start time of the job will be the specified
\-S value if the job was started before the specified time, otherwise
the time will be the job's start time. The end time will be the specified \-E
option if the job ends after the specified time, otherwise it will be
the jobs end time.

Without \-T (normal operation) sacct output would be like this.

By adding the \-T option the job's start and end times are truncated
to reflect only the time requested. If a job started after the start
time requested or finished before the end time requested those times
are not altered. The \-T option
is useful when determining exact run times during any given period.

\fBNOTE\fR: If no \fB\-s\fR (\fB\-\-state\fR) option is given sacct will
display eligible jobs during the specified period of time, otherwise it
will return jobs that were in the state requested during that period of
time.

This example demonstrates the differences running sacct with and without
the \fB\-\-state\fR flag for the same time period. Without the
\fB\-\-state\fR option, all eligible jobs in that time period are shown.

With the \fB\-\-state=pending\fR option, only job 2956 will be shown because
it had a dependency on 2955 and was still PENDING from 11:20:00 until it
started at 11:21:13. Note that even though we requested PENDING jobs, the
State shows as COMPLETED because that is the current State of the job.
