I've found that when creating a new cluster, slurmdbd does not

slurmdbd at several points during the slurm installation process to
get everything working correctly.
Also, slurmctld will buffer the accounting data until slurmdbd starts
functioning correctly, so it is possible if you restart slurmdbd you
will find that all your missing accounting data shows up at once.
One of the critical steps is sacctmgr create cluster $clustername
where $clustername matches the ClusterName parameter in slurm.conf
Correct, and this is documented in the Slurm accounting setup page:
