How to Find the Node Where a Job is Running in a SLURM Cluster

If you're working with a SLURM cluster and need to find out which node a particular job is running on, you can use the scontrol command. This command, however, may require sufficient permissions.

Command to Use

scontrol show job JOBID

Replace JOBID with the actual job ID you're interested in.

What to Look For

The command will output various details about the job. Specifically, look for the NodeList field to find out the node where the job is running.

Example Output


JobId=12345 JobName=example_job
...
NodeList=node12
...
  

In the above example, the job with JobId 12345 is running on node12.
