[HTCondor-users] condor_userprio command to gather usage summary

[hcxckwk <hcxckwk@xxxxxx>]

Dear HTCondor Users,

 

Every year we need to report on the HTCondor resources usage from July 01 last year to June 30 of the current year, especially for certain heavy users.

According to suggestion from many colleagues, the command "condor_userprio -usage -allusers" really works and product the following printout:

 

Last Priority Update:  9/14 11:57
                        Res   Total Usage       Usage             Last
User Name              In Use (wghted-hrs)    Start Time       Usage Time
---------------------- ------ ------------ ---------------- ----------------
user1                       0         7.49 10/02/2013 11:47 10/02/2013 15:41
user2                       0        25.27  8/17/2014 17:28  8/31/2015 22:32
user3@site1                 0      3086.54 12/04/2013 20:34 12/05/2013 08:38
user4@site2                 0      6483.67 12/06/2013 20:34  3/17/2014 20:35
...
---------------------- ------ ------------ ---------------- ----------------
Number of users: 9        346   1531773.25

(1) My question 1, is there any way to modify ALL the user start_time to 1/07/2014 00:00 and last usage time to 30/06/2015 23:59?

 

(2) If no, in the manual I can still find an option
      -setbegin {username} value
Therefore I attempted to try on certain heavy users, say user4@site2 this case.

     condor_userprio -usage -setbegin user4@site2 "12/06/2013 20:34"
     condor_userprio -usage -setbegin user4@site2 "12/06/2013"
     condor_userprio -usage -setbegin user4@site2 12/06/2013

 

In all cases the system only displayed that
     "The Begin Usage Time of user4@site2 was set to 12"

 

But when I re-issued the command
     condor_userprio -usage -allusers

There was no change to the display, i.e. still

 

User Name              In Use (wghted-hrs)    Start Time       Usage Time
---------------------- ------ ------------ ---------------- ----------------
user1                       0         7.49 10/02/2013 11:47 10/02/2013 15:41
user2                       0        25.27  8/17/2014 17:28  8/31/2015 22:32
user3@site1                 0      3086.54 12/04/2013 20:34 12/05/2013 08:38
user4@site2                 0      6483.67 12/06/2013 20:34  3/17/2014 20:35
...
---------------------- ------ ------------ ---------------- ----------------
Number of users: 9        346   1531773.25

 

My question(2), WHAT is format of value that the option "-setbegin {username}" is expecting,
and whether it will work as I guess?

 

(3) If the "userprio" command cannot serve the purpose, will it be better to use the "condor_history" command? 

 

Thanks in advance.
