How can I find out how long my slurm job took to execute?

Question

One idea I have to find out how long my slurm job is taking is to use

squeue --job <myid>

How do I find out how long my job took to complete though once the job is complete?

I cannot actually create a slurm tag because my rep is not high enough, but is how I would have tagged it had I the ability to — demongolem, Nov 02 '14 at 00:22

Use the sacct command:

sacct -l -j <myid>

and look for the 'elapsed' column

+1, but more information [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24020420/find-out-the-cpu-time-and-memory-usage-of-a-slurm-job). The output of `-l` didn't fit in my window, so a minimal output is `sacct --format="Elapsed" -j `. – Sparhawk Jun 06 '16 at 02:46

Does this include the Slurm overhead? – Manolete Nov 06 '20 at 22:46

sacct -j <myid> --format=Elapsed

is a very succinct way to show this (Thanks to Sparhawk & damienfrancois for these suggestions, I thought I'd suggest this as a full answer).
