Proposal

The Nomad team is exploring restructuring parts of the job show page. This issue is a meta-issue to capture a variety of requests we have gotten around this page.

If you have requests or common workflows you think should be better enabled on this page, please let us know in a comment!

Workflows & Use-Cases

Some common requests for workflows to better enable:

• Having a quicker & clearer understanding of job health
• Better understanding the state of in-flight and recent deployments (including retry behavior and status)
• More quickly digging into a canary (or other) deployments allocations if they are unhealthy
• Being able to read the HCL from a job to more quickly understand what what written in the Job. People can do this via the json definition, but this is harder than reading the HCL.

Some common complaints:

• "I don't care about historical data, just current state"
• Hard to tell if a deployment is healthy
• Errors/Logs that I care about should be better surfaced
