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 STDIO. If STDIN is a socket file descriptor, then
slurmrestd will detect this and use relevant functionality. If a controlling TTY is detected, interactive
mode will automatically activate to provide additional logging information. This mode is designed to work
with piped input, inetd, xinetd or systemd socket activation.
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. Default behavior is to load all REST
authentication plugins found at load time.
list Display a list of the possible plugins to load.
rest_auth/local
Allows authentication via UNIX sockets when auth/munge is active.
NOTE: slurmrestd and client processes must run under the same UID or the client requests
will be rejected.
rest_auth/jwt
Allows authentication via TCP and UNIX sockets when AuthAltTypes=auth/jwt is active. User
must specify the following HTTP cookies with each request:
X-SLURM-USER-NAME:<user name>
X-SLURM-USER-TOKEN:<JSON Web Token>
NOTE: Tokens are usually generated via calling "scontrol token".
-d <plugin_description>,...
Comma-delimited list of data_parser plugins including per plugin flags as denoted by '+' symbol.
Defaults: all builtin supported data_parser plugins.
list[+flags]
Display a list of the possible plugins to load.
latest Automatically replaced with latest plugin version. See relevant plugin for description and
potential flags.
[data_parser/]v0.0.40[+fast]
Load data_parser/]v0.0.40 plugin to for formatting of data. Only compatible with
openapi/slurmctld and openapi/slurmdbd content plugins.
+fast Disable builtin warnings and other logic to strictly validate incoming requests.
Should only ever be used in a production environment with very well tested clients
and potentially malformatted requests will be accepted as given and no warnings will
be generated about ignored or incorrect fields or values.
[data_parser/]v0.0.41[+fast][+prefer_refs]
Load data_parser/]v0.0.41 plugin to for formatting of data. Only compatible with
openapi/slurmctld and openapi/slurmdbd content plugins.
+fast Disable builtin warnings and other logic to strictly validate incoming requests.
Should only ever be used in a production environment with very well tested clients
and potentially malformatted requests will be accepted as given and no warnings will
be generated about ignored or incorrect fields or values.
+prefer_refs
Prefer inline expansion of referenced schemas (via $ref) in generated OpenAPI
specifications if the schema is only referenced once.
[data_parser/]v0.0.42[+fast][+minimize_refs]
Load data_parser/]v0.0.42 plugin to for formatting of data. Only compatible with
openapi/slurmctld and openapi/slurmdbd content plugins.
+fast Disable builtin warnings and other logic to strictly validate incoming requests.
Should only ever be used in a production environment with very well tested clients
and potentially malformatted requests will be accepted as given and no warnings will
be generated about ignored or incorrect fields or values.
+minimize_refs
Avoid inline expansion of referenced schemas (via $ref) in generated OpenAPI
specifications if the schema is only referenced once.
-f <file>
Read Slurm configuration from the specified file. See NOTES below.
--generate-openapi-spec
Dump JSON formatted OpenAPI specification to stdout and exit immediately. Loads miminal plugins
required. Loading of slurm.conf(5) can be disabled by passing additional arguments -f /dev/null or
setting SLURM_CONF=/dev/null in the environment.
-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 to the group belonging
to to SlurmUser or root or the daemon won't start with the default settings.
-h, --help
Help; print a brief summary of command options.
--max-connections <count>
Set the maximum number of connections to process at any one time. This is independent of the
number of connections that can connect to slurmrestd at any one time. The kernel allows any number
of connections to be pending for processing at any one time when SYN cookies are active.
Caution:
Each connection could cause one RPC to the controller daemons, leading to potential
overloading of the controller. Each connection can also hold memory for the duration of the
life of the connection. Having too many connections processing at once could use
considerably more memory. Process limits (ulimit(3)) may require adjustment when this value
is increased.
Default: 124
-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 or the daemon won't start
with the default settings.
-v Verbose operation. Multiple v's can be specified, with each 'v' beyond the first increasing
verbosity, up to 6 times (i.e. -vvvvvv). Higher verbosity levels will have significant
performance impact.
-V Print version information and exit.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables can be used to override settings compiled into slurmrestd.
SLURM_CONF
The location of the Slurm configuration file.
SLURM_DEBUG_FLAGS
Specify debug flags for slurmrestd to use. See DebugFlags in the slurm.conf(5) man page for a full
list of flags. The environment variable takes precedence over the setting in the slurm.conf.
SLURMRESTD_JSON
Control JSON serialization:
compact
Output JSON as compact as possible.
pretty Output JSON in pretty format to make it more readable.
SLURM_JWT
This variable must be set to use JWT token authentication.
SLURMRESTD_AUTH_TYPES
Set allowed authentication types. See -a
SLURMRESTD_DEBUG
Set debug level explicitly. Valid values are 0-9, or the same string values as the debug options
such as SlurmctldDebug in slurm.conf(5). Ignored if -v passed as argument during invocation.
SLURMRESTD_DATA_PARSER_PLUGINS
Comma-delimited list of data_parser plugins to load. See -d
SLURMRESTD_LISTEN
Comma-delimited list of host:port pairs or unix sockets to listen on.
SLURMRESTD_MAX_CONNECTIONS
Set the maximum number of connections to process at any one time. See --max-connections
SLURMRESTD_OPENAPI_PLUGINS
Comma-delimited list of OpenAPI plugins to load. See -s
SLURMRESTD_RESPONSE_STATUS_CODES
Comma-delimited list of OpenAPI method responses to generate in OpenAPI specification. Default:
200,default
SLURMRESTD_SECURITY
Control slurmrestd security functionality using the following comma-delimited values:
become_user
Allows slurmrestd to be run as root in order to become the requesting user for all
requests. When combined with rest_auth/local, when a user connects via a named UNIX socket,
slurmrestd will setuid()/setgid() into that user/group and then complete all requests as
the given user. This mode is only intended for inet mode as the user change is permanent
for the life of the process. This mode is incompatible with rest_auth/jwt and it is
suggested to start slurmrestd with "-a rest_auth/local" arguments.
disable_unshare_files
Disables unsharing file descriptors with parent process.
disable_unshare_sysv
Disables unsharing the SYSV namespace.
disable_user_check
Disables check that slurmrestd is not running as root or SlurmUser, or with the root or
SlurmUser's primary group.
SLURMRESTD_YAML
Control YAML serialization:
compact
Output YAML as compact as possible.
pretty Output YAML in pretty format to make it more readable.
SIGNALS
SIGINT
slurmrestd will shutdown cleanly.
SIGPIPE
This signal is explicitly ignored.
NOTES
SPANK and clifilter plugins are not supported in slurmrestd due to their lack of thread safety. Active
SPANK plugins and JobSubmitPlugins in slurmctld are independent of slurmrestd and can be used to enforce
site policy on job submissions.
EXAMPLES
Generate OpenAPI schema without configuration
$ slurmrestd -f /dev/null --generate-openapi-spec -s slurmdbd,slurmctld -d v0.0.42 > openapi.json
