NAME¶

slurmrestd - Interface to Slurm via REST API.

SYNOPSIS¶

slurmrestd [OPTIONS...] <[host]:port|unix:/path/to/socket>...

DESCRIPTION¶

slurmrestd is REST API interface for Slurm. It can be used in two modes:

Inetd Mode: slurmrestd will read and write to STDIN and STDOUT. It can detect if it is connected to a socket or a local TTY (interactive mode).

Listen Mode: slurmrestd will open a listening socket on each requested host:port pair or UNIX socket.

OPTIONS¶

[host]:port

Hostname and port to listen against. host may be an IPv4/IPv6 IP or a resolvable hostname. Hostnames are only looked up at startup and do not change for the life of the process. host is optional; if not provided, slurmrestd will listen on all network interfaces.

unix:/path/to/socket

Listen on local UNIX socket. Must have permission to create socket in filesystem.

-a <authentication plugins>

Comma-delimited list of authentication plugins to load. Set to "list" to dump a list of the possible plugins to load. Defaults: all builtin supported REST authentication plugins.

-f <file>

Read Slurm configuration from the specified file. See NOTES below.

-g <group id>

Change group id (and drop supplemental groups) before processing client request. This should be a unique group with no write access or special permissions. Do not set this user to SlurmUser or root.

-h

Help; print a brief summary of command options.

-s <OpenAPI plugins to load>

Comma-delimited list of OpenAPI plugins. Set to "list" to dump a list of the possible plugins to load. Defaults: all builtin supported OpenAPI plugins.

-t <THREAD COUNT>

Specify number of threads to use to process client connections. Ignored in inetd mode. Default: 20

-u <user id>

Change user id before processing client request. This should be a unique group with no write access or special permissions. Do not set this user to SlurmUser or root.

-v

Verbose operation. Multiple -v's increase verbosity. Higher verbosity levels will have significant performance impact.

-V

Print version information and exit.
