Procedure for Modifying User Email Reports

The jobstats command should be configured to replace smail, which is the Slurm executable used for sending email reports. To make this change, edit slurm.conf as follows:

MailProg=/usr/local/bin/jobstats_mail.sh

The jobstats_mail.sh script is available in the slurm directory of the Jobstats GitHub repository. This script sets the content-type to text/html so that the email is sent using a fixed-width font.

As always, to receive an email report, users must include the appropriate Slurm directive in their scripts:

#SBATCH --mail-type=end

Note

When the run time of the job is less than the sampling period of the Prometheus exporters (which is typically 30 seconds), jobstats will call seff to generate the job report.
