Sending old data quickly seems very dangerous, especially if there are
scripts submitting jobs and then running squeue to look for them.
Quoting Paul Edmon <[email protected]>:
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out of date.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

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
