I've been looking into this. Using the format option of sacct seems to have the disadvantage of it being harder to extract a MaxRSS value for a completed job. With the dump, I could just grep out the records containing JOB_TERMINATED. I thought that sacct's option -X might help, but the MaxRSS values are not accumulated. With the Perl API, I can get some information about running jobs but have been unable to use job_step_stats to obtain data for completed jobs. I can be more specific about the problems, but perhaps you have some examples of the usage of the API which might help me.
