Another way is to use the showq script that we have been working on:
https://github.com/fasrc/slurm_showq
That gives over all statistics as well. However sdiag is a great way to
see if the system is running properly and get a good view of it.
I will note that these sorts of queries tend to hang when the ctld is
busy. We were discussing it in our group meeting yesterday. It might
be good to have the ctld set up a thread dedicated to servicing these
requests in a timely manner. When our users see time out messages or
slow response they freak out and send in help tickets. To me diagnostic
checks like this should respond in a timely manner, even if the data
that is contained there is a little out of date.

There is no faster way to get job counts, but you might find the sdiag

Quoting Damien François <[email protected]>:
Hello,
what is the most efficient way of finding how many jobs are currently
running, pending, etc in the system ?
At the moment, I use squeue and wc -l but that sometimes gets slow.
Is there a command/flag I would have missed that would output that
information quickly ?
Thanks
