14 sview can be used to view Slurm configuration, job, step, node and par‐
15 titions state information. Authorized users can also modify select in‐
16 formation.
17 The primary display modes are Jobs and Partitions, each with a selec‐
19 tion tab. There is also an optional map of the nodes on the left side
20 of the window which will show the nodes associated with each job or
21 partition. Left-click on the tab of the display you would like to see.
22 Right-click on the tab in order to control which fields will be dis‐
23 played.
24 Within the display window, left-click on the header to control the sort
26 order of entries (e.g. increasing or decreasing) in the display. You
27 can also left-click and drag the headers to move them right or left in
28 the display. If a JobID has an arrow next to it, click on that arrow
29 to display or hide information about that job's steps. Right-click on
30 a line of the display to get more information about the record.
31 There is an Admin Mode option which permits the user root to modify
33 many of the fields displayed, such as node state or job time limit. In
34 the mode, a Slurm Reconfigure Action is also available. It is recom‐
35 mended that Admin Mode be used only while modifications are actively
36 being made. Disable Admin Mode immediately after the changes to avoid
37 possibly making unintended changes.

41 Some sview options may be set via environment variables. These environ‐
42 ment variables, along with their corresponding options, are listed be‐
43 low. (Note: commandline options will always override these settings)
44 SLURM_CONF The location of the Slurm configuration file.

49 The sview command can only be build if gtk+-2.0 is installed. Systems
50 lacking these libraries will have Slurm installed without the sview
51 command.
52 At least some gtk themes are unable to display large numbers of lines
54 (jobs, nodes, etc). The information is still in gtk's internal data
55 structures, but not visible by scrolling down the window. The gtk2-en‐
56 gines-qtcurve theme does seem to have particularly good scalability.
57 Newer gtk3 themes do not allow the background colors used for the node
59 map to be displayed.
60 On systems with the topology/tree plugin configured, the sview command
62 will attempt to display the nodes on each switch on a separate line.
63 Change the sview configuration for optimal viewing by selecting "Op‐
64 tions" then "Set Default Settings". The "Nodes in Row" and "Node But‐
65 ton Size in Pixels" would be the mostly commonly changed options.
