At Rackslab, we are strongly committed in providing powerful tools that not only help you manage your IT infrastructure but also give you a clear and intuitive way to visualize it. In our latest release of RacksDB v0.5.0, we are excited to introduce axonometric graphical representations of your infrastructure.

In this blog post, we’ll dive into how to use this new feature. Whether you’re an IT administrator, a data center manager, or a systems architect, this feature is designed to provide you with a more detailed and easy-to-understand view of your infrastructure.

At Rackslab, we are always looking for ways to make your infrastructure management more efficient and powerful. In RacksDB v0.5.0, we’ve introduced a seamless integration between RacksDB and ClusterShell, offering you a new level of flexibility and control when managing your HPC & AI clusters.

Slurm batch scheduler allows users to associate to jobs optional fields in text format, such as the name of the job or a comment. These fields are not directly used by Slurm, their value has no influence on its behavior. They are available to store any information related to the jobs and can be manipulated through standard Slurm commands. For example, these fields can be useful for differentiating, filtering, classifying or annotating jobs.

We will discover in this post an approach to use the comment field to associate structured metadata to the jobs and enrich accounting reports with custom information.
