sreport

sreport is a command-line utility that is part of the Slurm Workload Manager. It is used to generate accounting and usage reports from Slurm's accounting database (slurmdbd). The tool supports a range of report types, enabling users to summarize resource usage by user, account, partition, or job over specified time intervals. It is commonly used by system administrators to monitor utilization, create usage analytics, and support chargeback or budgeting processes.

Data for sreport is drawn from the Slurm accounting data stored in the slurmdbd database. This data captures job records, resource usage, and related accounting information collected from compute nodes. sreport can compile reports across multiple partitions, accounts, and users and can cover historical periods, facilitating trend analysis and capacity planning.

Key features include grouping and aggregating results by chosen fields (such as user, account, or partition), filtering by time range or other dimensions, and exporting output in multiple formats. Reports typically summarize metrics like CPU time, wall time, job counts, and other usage statistics, depending on the available data.

Usage and output are geared toward administrators, researchers, and institutions needing visibility into resource consumption. sreport outputs can be integrated into regular reporting workflows, dashboards, or billing systems. The exact command syntax varies between Slurm versions, and users should consult the official Slurm documentation for version-specific options and report types.

Availability and ecosystem: sreport is included with Slurm and relies on a configured slurmdbd accounting daemon. It serves as a standard tool for extracting structured usage information from Slurm’s accounting data, complementing other Slurm accounting features.
