Hi John, Have you tried specifying a start time? The default is 00:00:00 of the current day (depending on other options). Example:
sacct -S 2020-11-01T00:00:00 Our accounting database retains all job data from the epoch of our system.

"sacct -a" returns no results. I've tried to lengthen that, but have been unsuccessful. I've tried adding the following to slurmdbd.conf and restarting slurmdbd: ArchiveJobs=yes PurgeEventAfter=1month PurgeJobAfter=12month PurgeResvAfter=1month PurgeStepAfter=1month PurgeSuspendAfter=1month PurgeTXNAfter=12month PurgeUsageAfter=24month No job archives appear (in the default /tmp dir) either. What I'd like to do is have the slurm database retain information on jobs for at least a few weeks, writing out data beyond that threshold to files, but mainly I just want to keep job data in the database for longer. Regards, John
