Problem to solve

Today, when a user clicks on a job to access the logs in order to troubleshoot after a failed status or just to check the progress of the job, they are presented with the log details as a bulk. To be able to make sense of the information they are viewing at, users have to scour/browse through the entire log and manually spot the section that concerns them.

Intended users

User experience goal

Organize the content in the logs and reduce the effort to spot a discrepancy or error.

Proposal

Segregate the information in the logs into collapsible sections with identifiable names and associated status so users know exactly where to look at to counter a specific problem.

  • Today we already provide users the ability to define pre-collapsed sections. Instead of making this a configurable, we should collapse the section by default to make it more readable
  • When collapsed, the sections are flattened. Add required hierarchy through nesting sections when necessary
