Hi Felix,
>From one of the recent Slurm user group meetings, the recommended way to
>logrotate the Slurm logs is to send SIGUSR2.
My logrotate entry is
/var/log/slurm/slurmctld.log {
compress
missingok
nocopytruncate
nocreate
delaycompress
nomail
notifempty
noolddir
rotate 5
sharedscripts
size 5M
create 640 slurm root
postrotate
pkill -x --signal SIGUSR2 slurmctld
exit 0
endscript
}
And that seems to work fine for us
[root@spartan-ctl1 ~]# ls -la /var/log/slurm/
total 7165648

Subject: [EXT] [slurm-users] slurmctld.log over 500 MB
External email: Please exercise caution
Hello
my slurmctld.log is 600 MB.
I am looking for a functional method to have log rotate system for
slurmctld.log. There is none for slurm now on my system. I have slurm 20.02 on
my system.
Is there any possibility?
Thank you
Felix
