SLURM Input Plugin

This plugin gather diagnoses, jobs, nodes, partitions and reservation metrics for a SLURM instance using the REST API provided by the slurmrestd daemon.

This plugin supports the REST API v0.0.38 which must be enabled in the slurmrestd daemon. For more information, check the documentation.

Introduced in: Telegraf v1.32.0 Tags: server OS support: all

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Gather SLURM metrics
[[inputs.slurm]]
  ## Slurmrestd URL. Both http and https can be used as schemas.
  url = "http://127.0.0.1:6820"

  ## Credentials for JWT-based authentication.
  # username = "foo"
  # token = "topSecret"

  ## Enabled endpoints
  ## List of endpoints a user can acquire data from.
  ## Available values are: diag, jobs, nodes, partitions, reservations.
  # enabled_endpoints = ["diag", "jobs", "nodes", "partitions", "reservations"]

  ## Maximum time to receive a response. If set to 0s, the
  ## request will not time out.
  # response_timeout = "5s"

  ## Optional TLS Config. Note these options will only
  ## be taken into account when the scheme specififed on
  ## the URL parameter is https. They will be silently
  ## ignored otherwise.
  ## Set to true/false to enforce TLS being enabled/disabled. If not set,
  ## enable TLS only if any of the other options are specified.
  # tls_enable =
  ## Trusted root certificates for server
  # tls_ca = "/path/to/cafile"
  ## Used for TLS client certificate authentication
  # tls_cert = "/path/to/certfile"
  ## Used for TLS client certificate authentication
  # tls_key = "/path/to/keyfile"
  ## Password for the key file if it is encrypted
  # tls_key_pwd = ""
  ## Send the specified TLS server name via SNI
  # tls_server_name = "kubernetes.example.com"
  ## Minimal TLS version to accept by the client
  # tls_min_version = "TLS12"
  ## List of ciphers to accept, by default all secure ciphers will be accepted
  ## See https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/tls#pkg-constants for supported values.
  ## Use "all", "secure" and "insecure" to add all support ciphers, secure
  ## suites or insecure suites respectively.
  # tls_cipher_suites = ["secure"]
  ## Renegotiation method, "never", "once" or "freely"
  # tls_renegotiation_method = "never"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false

Metrics

Given the great deal of metrics offered by SLURM’s API, an attempt has been done to strike a balance between verbosity and usefulness in terms of the gathered information.

New in InfluxDB 3.5

Key enhancements in InfluxDB 3.5 and the InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3.

See the Blog Post

InfluxDB 3.5 is now available for both Core and Enterprise, introducing custom plugin repository support, enhanced operational visibility with queryable CLI parameters and manual node management, stronger security controls, and general performance improvements.

InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3 brings powerful new capabilities including Dashboards (beta) for saving and organizing your favorite queries, and cache querying for instant access to Last Value and Distinct Value caches—making Explorer a more comprehensive workspace for time series monitoring and analysis.

InfluxDB Docker latest tag changing to InfluxDB 3 Core

On November 3, 2025, the latest tag for InfluxDB Docker images will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments.

If using Docker to install and run InfluxDB, the latest tag will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments. For example, if using Docker to run InfluxDB v2, replace the latest version tag with a specific version tag in your Docker pull command–for example:

docker pull influxdb:2
