NAME

       sview - graphical user interface to view and modify Slurm state.

SYNOPSIS

       sview

DESCRIPTION

       sview  can  be  used  to  view  Slurm  configuration,  job,  step, node and partitions state information.
       Authorized users can also modify select information.

       The primary display modes are Jobs and Partitions, each with a selection tab.  There is also an  optional
       map  of  the  nodes  on the left side of the window which will show the nodes associated with each job or
       partition.  Left-click on the tab of the display you would like to see.  Right-click on the tab in  order
       to control which fields will be displayed.

       Within the display window, left-click on the header to control the sort order of entries (e.g. increasing
       or decreasing) in the display.  You can also left-click and drag the headers to move them right  or  left
       in  the  display.  If a JobID has an arrow next to it, click on that arrow to display or hide information
       about that job's steps.  Right-click on a line of the display to get more information about the record.

       There is an Admin Mode option which permits the user root to modify many of the fields displayed, such as
       node  state  or  job  time  limit.   In  the  mode,  a Slurm Reconfigure Action is also available.  It is
       recommended that Admin Mode be used only while modifications are actively being made.  Disable Admin Mode
       immediately after the changes to avoid possibly making unintended changes.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       Some  sview  options  may be set via environment variables. These environment variables, along with their
       corresponding options, are listed below.  (Note: commandline options will always override these settings)

       SLURM_CONF          The location of the Slurm configuration file.

NOTES

       The sview command can only be build if gtk+-2.0 is installed.  Systems lacking these libraries will  have
       Slurm installed without the sview command.

       At least some gtk themes are unable to display large numbers of lines (jobs, nodes, etc). The information
       is still in gtk's internal  data  structures,  but  not  visible  by  scrolling  down  the  window.   The
       gtk2-engines-qtcurve theme does seem to have particularly good scalability.

       Newer gtk3 themes do not allow the background colors used for the node map to be displayed.

       On  systems with the topology/tree plugin configured, the sview command will attempt to display the nodes
       on each switch on a separate line.  Change the sview  configuration  for  optimal  viewing  by  selecting
       "Options"  then "Set Default Settings".  The "Nodes in Row" and "Node Button Size in Pixels" would be the
       mostly commonly changed options.
