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.
