Accessing Task Status
1
Navigate to Pipelines Overview
Open the Tracer dashboard and select the “Pipelines” tab next to “Overview”. This will show you all the pipelines that have been run.
2
Go to your Specific Pipeline
Access your specific pipeline by clicking on the pipeline name. You can recognize the pipelines which are currently running by the blue dot next to the pipeline name.
3
Select the Correct Run
As you will most likely check the current or latest run of the selected pipeline, you can click the blue link “Latest Run” to go to the latest run.If you are searching for an older run, you can click on the “Pipeline Runs” box in the bottom left corner of the screen. This will show you all runs, where you can select the run you are looking for.
4

Here, you get the first high-level overview of the pipeline run. You can see the main metrics, runtime and cost as well as the automatic logs with warnings and failure indicators.To go to the task status, click on the “Tools” tab next to “Overview”. This will show you the status of all tasks within this pipeline run.
5
Investigate Task Status
The tool visualizer shows you the status of all tasks within this pipeline run:When hovering over a specific task, you can see the status, runtime, and the exact moment the task started. By clicking the bar, you can dig one level deeper to see the metrics, runtime, cost, and logs with warnings and failure indicators.
- Bar width indicates the runtime of the task
-
Bar color indicates the status: Grey (running), Green (completed), Red (failed)
In the image above, all tools are completed as indicated by the green bars.
In the image above, the task is still running as indicated by the grey bar and has been running for exactly 30.591s.
In the image above, you can see that one task is still running as indicated by the “Running” status, while the others are successfully completed.
