Re: [slurm-users] RPC rate limiting for different users

[Cutts, Tim]

Thanks for your swift response.

Ah yes, I had a look at the source code, and the only exception is root.  
Doesn’t look like it would be too difficult to add the capability to have an 
exceptions table though which admins could configure?

We’ve enabled ratelimiting but it’s causing issues for some applications run by 
certain service account users.

It also seems that slurmrestd doesn’t cope well with it at all, we’ve been 
seeing lots of errors from that following enabling rate limiting.

The rate limiting is global for all users.  You can only play with the
various rl_* parameters described in the slurm.conf manual page to
increase bucket size etc. for everyone.

[slurm-users] RPC rate limiting for different users

[Cutts, Tim]

Is the new rate limiting feature always global for all users, or is there an 
option, which I’ve missed, to have different settings for different users?  For 
example, to allow a higher rate from web services which submit jobs on behalf 
of a large number of users?
