Have you by chance given the `dev` branch a try? All our production servers currently run `lbnl-nhc-1.5-0.82.gf8dc.el8.noarch` built from the `dev` branch, have been for some time now, and it's been rock solid. Our RHEL-based clusters also use this version. Our HPE/Cray Shasta clusters, including our largest (classified) clusters Crossroads, Tycho, and Venado, use a variant. (Long story short, I've merged in all my changes into a separate branch, but the reverse is not yet true.) This variant is, at present, COS/SLES-specific, but it has quite a few useful additional checks (many of them Cray-centric) contributed by other LANL folks that I haven't had a chance to upstream yet.
Due to Michael's recommendation I wanted to try out the 'dev' branch version 1.5 of NHC and build an RPM package referred to by Michael.
Since I'm not a software developer, I had to figure out for myself the detailed building steps - perhaps trivial to some of you, and stumbling blocks to others. This is what I came up with:
$ git clone https://github.com/mej/nhc.git $ cd nhc $ git switch dev # Switch to the 'dev' branch $ git status # Check the status $ grep nhc_version configure.ac # Verify the 'dev' version m4_define([nhc_version], [1.5]) $ ./autogen.sh # Undocumented build requirement $ cd .. $ mv nhc lbnl-nhc-1.5 # Rename the source folder $ tar czf lbnl-nhc-1.5.tar.gz lbnl-nhc-1.5 $ rpmbuild -ta lbnl-nhc-1.5.tar.gz The resulting RPM package is: ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/lbnl-nhc-1.5-0.82.gf8dc.el8.noarch.rpm I've added those steps to my Slurm Wiki page: https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_configuration/#node-health-check Any comments?
