When you "looked in to the history file" do you mean the file defined by the HISTORY setting in the configuration file?

Yes, that's what I meant. Like, for us, it's:

[root@serv07 etc]# condor_config_val HISTORY
/home/condorr/spool/history

Dan already explained the discrepancies you're seeing. The duplicates are likely a cluster vs. process level for the attributes.

I'll add that this file is meant to be replayed by the condor_history command to rebulid the classads for the jobs. While it's human-readable, that's not really the best way to understand the information that's stored in the file. The information isn't meant for human consumption. Better would be to use "condor_history -f /home/condorr/spool/history -l" to get the full ad for every job in the file.
