flux-config-queues(5)

DESCRIPTION

The queues table configures job queues, as described in RFC 33. Normally, Flux has a single anonymous queue, but when queues are configured, all queues are named, and a job submitted without a queue name is rejected unless a default queue is configured.

Each key in the queues table is a queue name, whose value is a table consisting of the following optional keys:

requires (array): A list of resource property names that selects a subset of the total configured resources for the queue. Each property name is a string, as defined in RFC 20. If multiple properties are listed, they are combined in a logical and operation. Properties are attached to resources in the resource table as described in flux-config-resource(5).
policy (table): A policy table as described in flux-config-policy(5) that overrides the general system policy for jobs submitted to this queue.

A default queue name may be configured by setting policy.jobspec.defaults.system.queue as described in flux-config-policy(5).
