Description

Resolve the issue. Ops has a pretty good handle on these generally. Often we simply restart slurmctld or whatever process is causing the upset.

Tools to investigate causes:

  1. sdiag output for remote procedure calls
  2. sacct for recent job information
  3. Grafana for node data (https://grafana.ops.rc.uab.edu/grafana/?orgId=1, requires VPN or on-campus)
