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 to the group belonging to to SlurmUser or root or the daemon won't start with the default settings.

-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 or the daemon won't start with the default settings.

-v: Verbose operation. Multiple -v's increase verbosity. 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 slurmctld.

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.

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 1-10. See -v

SLURMRESTD_LISTEN

Comma-delimited list of host:port pairs or unix sockets to listen on.

SLURMRESTD_OPENAPI_PLUGINS

Comma-delimited list of OpenAPI plugins to load. See -s

SLURMRESTD_SECURITY

Control slurmrestd security functionality using the following comma-delimited values:

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.

SIGNALS

SIGINT: slurmrestd will shutdown cleanly.

SIGPIPE: This signal is explicitly ignored.

NOTES

slurmrestd is designed to run with AuthAltTypes outside of the Munge cluster when configured AuthAltTypes supports this.
