Overview of RUR Configuration

Overview of what is involved in configuring Resource Utilization Reporting (RUR).

RUR is one of many services that store service configuration content in CLE configuration sets (config sets) on Cray systems. RUR can be configured when config sets are created during a fresh install or major update, or it can be configured/reconfigured later by updating existing config sets during normal system operation. Whether sites enter values in an interactive configurator session or enter values in a configuration worksheet for bulk import, the configurator takes the supplied values and ensures that they become part of the config set being created or updated.

What does RUR Need?

For RUR to function properly, the following tasks are required:
  1. Enable and configure the cray_rur service.
  2. Update the cray_alps service (or Slurm) to call RUR's prologue and epilogue scripts. This enables per-application RUR.
  3. Modify the WLM prologue and epilogue scripts to call RUR's prologue and epilogue scripts. This enables per-job RUR.
  4. Refresh CLE nodes with updated configuration data.
