Hi,

We have noticed the same issue: when using JobAcctGatherType=jobacct_gather/linux, the reported CPU usage is 0 for all steps. If the user only use sbatch without using any step (so no srun) then the value is correct.

jobacct_gather/cgroup reports correct values for CPU, but wrong values for memory so pick your poison (cf. https://groups.google.com/g/slurm-users/c/tlFA2e74wZc ). If CPU usage is what matters to you, you should probably switch to jobacct_gather/cgroup if you don't use it already.

Hello!

We also see this. But in both clusters one is configured with jobacct_gather/linux and the other with jobacct_gather/cgroup. Both cluster are in one setup (slurmdbd)

Best!

Hello,
This is an issue we already reported to the support[1]. For your information, we were using jobacct_gather/cgroup when we encountered this problem.

The fix[2] is in the master branches for 25.05 and 25.11 and should be in the next minors (25.11.4 and 25.05.07).

Best,
Brice
