Describe a Run: its workflows, checks and steps.
Describe a Run: where it came from, its status, and the tree of its workflows and their checks.
RUN is a Run’s resource name, its id, or a prefix of its id unique among the instance’s recent Runs; “checks list” and “checks status -o json” print them. It may also be a WorkflowRun outside a Run, by resource name or full id, as a repository the platform creates no Runs for has; a WorkflowRun inside a Run describes its Run.
–steps adds each check’s steps. –events adds the Run’s recorded events and each attempt’s timings (queued, waiting for a slot, booting, provisioning, running steps), which say where its time went.
With -o json the Run, its WorkflowRuns and, under –events, the event streams are printed as the API returns them.
chainctl checks describe RUN [--sandbox-url URL] [--parent ORGANIZATION_NAME | ORGANIZATION_ID] [--steps] [--events] [--output=json|table] # A Run's checks and their steps
chainctl checks describe 0f3a --steps
# Why was it slow?
chainctl checks describe 0f3a --events --events Show the Run's recorded events and each attempt's timings.
--parent string The organization or folder (name or ID) the Runs are in. Defaults to $CHAINCTL_SANDBOX_GROUP, then the default.group config value (env: CHAINGUARD_DEFAULT_GROUP).
