Viewing Command Status

After executing an ad-hoc command, Quant Cloud provides real-time status tracking and output capture for your command execution. The status interface dynamically updates to show progress, completion status, and complete output from the temporary container where your command runs.

Execution Status Tracking

The command status interface provides comprehensive information about your command execution:

Execution Metadata

• Run ID: Unique identifier for tracking the specific command execution
• Command: The exact command string that was executed in the temporary container
• Target Container: Which container configuration was used for execution
• Status Badge: Color-coded indicator showing current execution state

Status Progression Commands progress through several states with visual indicators:

• PENDING (gray): Command is queued and waiting for container provisioning
• RUNNING (blue): Command is actively executing in the temporary container
• SUCCEEDED (green): Command completed successfully with exit code 0
• FAILED (red): Command completed with a non-zero exit code indicating an error
• TIMED_OUT (red): Command exceeded the maximum execution time limit

Completion Information Once execution finishes, additional details become available:

• Exit Code: Numerical return code from the command (0 = success, non-zero = error)
• Execution Duration: Total time from container start to command completion
• Resource Usage: Information about the temporary container’s resource consumption

Real-Time Output Capture

The output section provides complete visibility into your command’s execution within the temporary container:

Output Display Features

• Live Streaming: Output appears in real-time as the command executes
• Combined Output: Both stdout (standard output) and stderr (error output) are captured and displayed
• Formatted Display: Monospaced font and dark background optimize readability
• Scrollable Interface: Navigate through large amounts of output easily

Output Management

• Auto-scroll Option: Automatically scroll to show the latest output as it appears
• Manual Navigation: Scroll up to review earlier output while command continues executing
• Empty State Handling: Clear messaging when no output has been generated yet
• Completion Indication: Visual confirmation when command execution finishes

Output Analysis Use the captured output for:

• Debugging: Review error messages and stack traces from failed commands
• Verification: Confirm that operations completed as expected
• Data Extraction: Copy command results for use in other tools or documentation
• Performance Analysis: Monitor execution time and resource usage patterns

Troubleshooting Command Execution

Common Status Scenarios

Successful Execution

• Status shows SUCCEEDED with exit code 0
• Output contains expected results or confirmation messages
• No error messages in the output stream

Failed Execution

• Status shows FAILED with non-zero exit code
• Error messages appear in the output, often indicating the specific problem
• Review both command syntax and environment-specific issues

Timeout Issues

• Status shows TIMED_OUT for long-running operations
• Consider breaking large operations into smaller commands
• Review if the command is appropriate for ad-hoc execution vs. scheduled tasks

Container Provisioning Issues

• Commands stuck in PENDING status may indicate infrastructure issues
• Check environment health and resource availability
• Verify container configuration is valid

Tip

For long-running commands, keep the status page open to monitor progress. The real-time output helps identify issues early and provides immediate feedback about command execution within the isolated temporary container.

The comprehensive status tracking and output capture provide complete visibility into command execution, enabling effective debugging, verification, and monitoring of your ad-hoc operations.
