From 0.6.3 to unreleased/0.7.0

From 0.6.2 to 0.6.3

Update to sqlx 0.8.2

Use this command to update the sqlx-cli to 0.8.2

• cargo install --version=0.8.2 sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features postgres,rustls,sqlite

From 0.5.0 to 0.6.2

Auditor DB:

• WARNING: Please create a backup of the database before running the migration script.
• AUDITOR db should be migrated to use the new schema. Run sqlx migrate run --source migration from the AUDITOR home directory. It is also possible using the container which can be found here Documentation

Apel plugin

• The APEL message can now be configured via the config. An updated example config file can be found in the Documentation.
• auditor-apel-republish now needs the arguments --begin-date and --end-date instead of --month and --year. The format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss+00:00, e.g. 2023-11-29 21:10:54+00:00.

From 0.4.0 to 0.5.0

Apel plugin

• The format of the config file was changed from INI to YAML. An updated example config file can be found in the Documentation.
• The stop times of the latest reported job per site and the time of the latest report to APEL are now stored in a JSON file instead of a SQLite database. Therefore, the config parameter time_db_path has to be changed to time_json_path. To migrate an existing database to a JSON file, run migration-0_4_0-to-0_5_0.py located in the scripts folder:

usage: migration-0_4_0-to-0_5_0.py [-h] -c CONFIG -d DB -j JSON

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        Path to the config file
  -d DB, --db DB        Path to the time database file
  -j JSON, --json JSON  Path to the time JSON file

This already requires a config file with YAML format.

Docker container

The Auditor Docker container can now be used to run database migrations. For details, see the documentation.

If you run Auditor using the Docker container and provide an external config file, you need to change the way how you run the Docker container:

• Old

  docker run -v <absolute-path-to-config>:/auditor/config.yaml aluschumacher/auditor:<version> /auditor/config.yaml
  

• New

  docker run -v <absolute-path-to-config>:/auditor/config.yaml aluschumacher/auditor:<version> auditor /auditor/config.yaml
  

I.e., you need to add auditor as the first argument before pointing to the configuration file.

Development

Update to sqlx 0.7.4

Use this command to update the sqlx-cli to 0.7.4

• cargo install --version=0.7.4 sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features postgres,rustls,sqlite

From 0.3.0/0.3.1 to 0.4.0

AUDITOR

REST APIs

Auditor REST APIs are changed as shown in the table below.

/record endpoint handles single record operations such as adding one record, updating one record and querying one record.

/records endpoint handles multiple and bulk record operations such as inserting bulk records and querying multiple records.

Apel plugin

The config parameter site_name_mapping is removed and the structure of the config parameter sites_to_report is changed. sites_to_report is now a dictionary, where the keys are the site names as configured in the GOCDB, and the values are lists of the corresponding site names in the AUDITOR records.

Before:

sites_to_report = ["site_id_1", "site_id_2", "site_id_3"]
site_name_mapping = {"site_id_1": "SITE_A", "site_id_2": "SITE_A", "site_id_3": "SITE_B"}

After:

sites_to_report = {"SITE_A": ["site_id_1", "site_id_2"], "SITE_B": ["site_id_3"]}

Removed

/get_[started/stopped]_since endpoint is removed due to the introduction of advanced query. The auditor client and pyauditor client still contains the get_started_since and get_stopped_since functions but throws a deprecated warning if used.

Development

Update to sqlx 0.7.3

Use this command to update the sqlx-cli to 0.7.3

• cargo install --version=0.7.3 sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features postgres,rustls,sqlite

From 0.2.0 to 0.3.0

Slurm collector

New filter options for querying slurm jobs are available. Due to this, a new section job_filter has been introduced for the config file. The job_status field has been renamed to status and is now part of the job_filter section.

Before:

job_status:
  - "completed"
  - "failed"

After:

job_filter:
  status:
    - "completed"
    - "failed"

The new filter options are partition, user, group, and account and work similar to the status filter.

Priority plugin

The priority plugin now supports exporting metrics for the amount of provided resources and the updated priority to Prometheus. The metrics can be accessed via a GET request to the /metrics endpoint. Because the metrics endpoint provided by the Prometheus exporter needs to be available all the time, the architecture of the priority plugin has been changed. It now will run continuously. In most cases, it should be started as a systemd service.

The structure of the config file has changed. The addr and port options are now put under a common auditor section. The frequency of recalculation for the provided resources and priorities can now be controlled with the frequency field, which assumes that the number given is in seconds. It defaults to 1 hour (i.e. 3600s).

The Prometheus exporter can be configured in the prometheus section. It can be enabled and disabled with the enable field. The address and port of the HTTP server that serves the metrics can be set with the addr and port fields. The metrics list specifies the metrics that are exported. Right now the values ResourceUsage (for the amount of provided resources in the given duration) and Priority (for the calculated priority value) are supported. The prometheus section is optional. If it is not present, it has the same effect as setting enable to false.

Below, you find an example of the priority plugin configuration before and after the change.

• Before

  addr: "localhost"
  port: 8000
  ... (other options)
  

• After

  auditor:
    addr: "localhost"
    port: 8000
  frequency: 3600
  ... (other options)
  prometheus:
    enable: true
    addr: "0.0.0.0"
    port: 9000
    metrics:
      - ResourceUsage
      - Priority
  

AUDITOR

Standardized REST APIs

Auditor REST APIs are changed as shown in the table below.

Development

Update to sqlx 0.7.2

Use this command to update the sqlx-cli to 0.7.2

• cargo install --version=0.7.2 sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features postgres,rustls,sqlite

From 0.1.0 to 0.2.0

Apel plugin

• The config file now needs to have a field cpu_time_unit present, which describes the unit of total CPU time in the AUDITOR records. Possible values are seconds or milliseconds.
• Support for Python 3.6 and Python 3.7 has been dropped. Please move to a newer version of python.

Auditor client

• Support for Python 3.6 and Python 3.7 has been dropped. Please move to a newer version of python.
• Due to the update of the pyo3 library, the timezone of datetime objects now needs to be datetime.timezone.utc instead of pytz.utc when creating a new record:
  • When the datetime object is already in UTC
    • Before

      import datetime
      import pytz
      
      start_since = datetime.datetime(2022, 8, 8, 11, 30, 0, 0, tzinfo=pytz.utc)
      

    • After

      import datetime
      
      start_since = datetime.datetime(2022, 8, 8, 11, 30, 0, 0, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)
      

  • If it is in local time
    • Before

      import datetime
      import pytz
      from tzlocal import get_localzone
      
      local_tz = get_localzone()
      start_since = datetime.datetime(2022, 8, 8, 11, 30, 0, 0, tzinfo=local_tz).astimezone(pytz.utc)
      

    • After

      import datetime
      from tzlocal import get_localzone
      
      local_tz = get_localzone()
      start_since = datetime.datetime(2022, 8, 8, 11, 30, 0, 0, tzinfo=local_tz).astimezone(datetime.timezone.utc)
      

Auditor server

• Updating a non-existent record now returns an HTTP 404 error instead of HTTP 400 error

Docker containers

• The main tag was replaced with the edge tag. In addition, we also now offer docker tags corresponding to releases, i.e., use the tag 0.2.0 for this release.

HTCondor plugin

• Support for Python 3.6 and Python 3.7 has been dropped. Please move to a newer version of python.
