Usage

`slurmutils.editors`

This module provides an API for editing files, and creating new files if they do not exist. Here's some operations you can perform on files using the editors in this module:

`slurmconfig`

Edit a pre-existing slurm.conf configuration file

from slurmutils.editors import slurmconfig

# Open, edit, and save the slurm.conf file located at _/etc/slurm/slurm.conf_.
with slurmconfig.edit("/etc/slurm/slurm.conf") as config:
    del config.inactive_limit
    config.max_job_count = 20000
    config.proctrack_type = "proctrack/linuxproc"

Add a new node to the slurm.conf file

from slurmutils.editors import slurmconfig
from slurmutils.models import Node

with slurmconfig.edit("/etc/slurm/slurm.conf") as config:
    node = Node(
        NodeName="batch-[0-25]", 
        NodeAddr="12.34.56.78", 
        CPUs=1, 
        RealMemory=1000, 
        TmpDisk=10000,
    )
    config.nodes.update(node.dict())

`slurmdbdconfig`

Edit a pre-existing slurmdbd.conf configuration file

from slurmutils.editors import slurmdbdconfig

with slurmdbdconfig.edit("/etc/slurm/slurmdbd.conf") as config:
    config.archive_usage = "yes"
    config.log_file = "/var/spool/slurmdbd.log"
    config.debug_flags = ["DB_EVENT", "DB_JOB", "DB_USAGE"]
    del config.auth_alt_types
    del config.auth_alt_parameters

`cgroupconfig`

from slurmutils.editors import cgroupconfig

with cgroupconfig.edit("/etc/slurm/cgroup.conf") as config:
    config.constrain_cores = "yes"
    config.constrain_devices = "yes"
    config.constrain_ram_space = "yes"
    config.constrain_swap_space = "yes"
