TORQUE maintains accounting records for batch jobs in the following directory:
$TORQUEROOT/server_priv/accounting/<TIMESTAMP>
$TORQUEROOT defaults to /usr/spool/PBS and <TIMESTAMP> is in the format: YYYYMMDD.
These records include events, time stamps, and information on resources requested and used.
Records for four different event types are produced and are described in the following table:
| Record marker | Record type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A | abort | Job has been aborted by the server |
| C | checkpoint | Job has been checkpointed and held |
| D | delete | Job has been deleted |
| E | exit | Job has exited (either successfully or unsuccessfully) |
| Q | queue | Job has been submitted/queued |
| R | rerun | Attempt to rerun the job has been made |
| S | start | Attempt to start the job has been made (if the job fails to properly start, it may have multiple job start records) |
| T | restart | Attempt to restart the job (from checkpoint) has been made (if the job fails to properly start, it may have multiple job start records) |
Accounting Variables
The following table offers accounting variable descriptions. Descriptions for accounting variables not indicated in the table, particularly those prefixed with Resources_List, are available at Job submission.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| ctime | Time job was created |
| etime | Time job became eligible to run |
| qtime | Time job was queued |
| start | Time job started to run |
A sample record in this file can look like the following:
