Hello,
First issue: I have a couple dozen users that show up for an account but
outside of the hierarchical structure in sacctmgr:
sacctmgr show assoc account=<accountName>
format=Account,User,Cluster,ParentName%20 Tree
When I execute that on a given account, I see that one user resides outside
account where the account specifies its Parent Name (i.e. the user is part
of the account, just not tucked correctly into the hierarchy):
Account User Cluster Par Name
-------------------- ---------- ---------- --------------------
acct rogueuser mycluster
acct mycluster acct_root
acct normaluser mycluster
Second issue: A couple of rogue users from within sacctmgr show up in
sreport output ABOVE the account usage:
sreport -T billing cluster AccountUtilizationByUser Accounts=<accountName>
Start=2019-08-01 End=2019-09-11
returns the output, but the first line in the output given is that of a
USER and not the specified account as noted in the man sreport section:
cluster AccountUtilizationByUser
This report will display account utilization as it appears on
the hierarchical tree. Starting with the specified account or
the root account by default this report will list the
underlying usage with a sum on each level. Use the 'tree' option to
span the tree for better visibility. NOTE: If there were
reservations allowing a whole account any idle time in the reser‐
vation given to the association for the account, not the
user associations in the account, so it can be possible a parent
account can be larger than the sum of it's children.
Has anyone seen either of these behaviors? I've even queried the DB just to
see if there wasn't something more obvious as to the issue, but I can't
find anything. The associations are very tidy in the DB. When I dump the
cluster using sacctmgr I can see the handful of rogue associations all the
way at the top of the list, meaning they aren't a part of the root
hierarchy in sacctmgr.
We're using 18.08.7.
Thanks!
