Provide proper description about job or task fails in native scheduler
Added by Ilja Zakharov almost 9 years ago.
Updated over 7 years ago.
Description
Native scheduler does not provide detailed description to Bridge about reasons of task or job fails.
- Category set to Scheduling
I am wondering whether schedulers of other types provide good description of job and task fails?
- Priority changed from Low to High
Users definitely need clear understanding what issues happen.
- Assignee set to Ilja Zakharov
- Priority changed from High to Immediate
Many users suffer from this, especially, when the production mode or/and removing working directories are used.
Please, see one of important and often failures in #7408.
- Priority changed from Immediate to Urgent
The immediate task that wasn't done during 4 months isn't immediate.
- Status changed from New to Resolved
Implemented in scheduler-optimization.
Currently, I collect all exceptions and warnings and errors from RunExec and BenchExec. The only issue is that I send only the last message with the error. For instance, for job failings, it is enough just to show the reason and for most cases it really looks nice (including swap and cgroup support). But I noticed that for task solution the same messages are used for an RSB report and for this purpose additional information might be helpful. My proposal is to send all warnings and errors to Bridge but to make it showing for job failings only the last line.

Can you provide any examples? I guess that anyway now the situation is much better then before when there were messages like "Task solution was finished with exit code ...". But it isn't clear what error messages are transmitted from schedulers.
