[slurm-users] Is there a scontrol ping slurmdbd?

[Heitor]

Hello,

The docs about scontrol says that the command `scontrol ping` allows
one to query if slurmctld nodes are up and running.

I'm wondering if there's something analogous for slurmdbd? A command to
check if slurmdbd nodes are up and running? I couldn't find it in the
docs.

Kind regards,
Heitor

Hello,

I'd usually use some simple sacctmgr command.
Something like "sacctmgr list cluster".

That said, we're running a single slurmdbd instance since slurmctld does
some caching etc. Do you have multiple that you need to check individually?

Cheers,
Christoph

We use sacctmgr list stats for our Slurmdbd check

Our Nagios check is

RESULT=$(/usr/local/slurm/latest/bin/sacctmgr list stats)

if [ $? -ne 0 ]

then

        echo "ERROR: cannot connect to database"

        exit 2

fi

echo "$RESULT" | head -n 4

exit 0
