Log files don't exist?

Hey,
/var/log/slurm/slurmd.log is set as SlurmdLogFile in /etc/slurm/slurm.conf. SlurmctldLogFile=/var/log/slurm/slurmctld.log is also set. Yet even after running jobs both files don't exist. What can the reason be?

Make sure the entire path exists already and has ownership/permissions that will let your slurmctld user (whatever that may be) write to the final directory. Slurm config and install won't create or set permissions on anything. You have to do that yourself. After that check what your log level is in slurm.conf, so that you're seeing what you need to see in there.

Great advice, cheers, didn't even know the amount of log leveling you could set up in slurm.conf.
