Release note - March 17, 2020

Real-time job monitoring / Instance metrics [new feature, BETA]

With these new features we are providing additional job monitoring and debugging tools, which are readily accessible for each task during its execution. You are now able to monitor execution progress in a more extensive way and find out the reasons for stuck, prolonged, or misconfigured jobs on your own, while we continue to ensure the same level of reproducibility.

Real-time job monitoring

As long as the instance on which the job was running is active, you can now access the following information about the job execution environment:

  • Standard output and error streams.
  • Workspace directory content and structure.
  • Head/Tail preview of text file formats for files in the workspace directory.
  • Instance metrics for the duration of the job.
