chainctl checks events

Print the events one attempt at a check recorded.

Synopsis

Print the structured events one attempt at a check recorded, in the order they were recorded: when each activity (provisioning, a step, a process the step ran) started and finished, its progress, and the diagnostics attached to it. “checks describe –events” prints every check’s events of a Run at once; this reads one attempt, all of it.

REF is a directory (its HEAD), a pull request URL or owner/repo#N, a full 40-character commit SHA, or a Run or WorkflowRun id; the current directory by default. –attempt reads that attempt instead of the current one; “checks attempts” lists them.

Event messages and attributes are producer observations, some from the guest, so each line is sanitized. With -o json the events are printed as the API returns them.

chainctl checks events [REF] --check CHECK [--workflow WORKFLOW] [--attempt N] [--sandbox-url URL] [--parent ORGANIZATION_NAME | ORGANIZATION_ID] [--output=json]

Examples

  # What did the check spend its time on?
  chainctl checks events acme/app#123 --check test

  # The first attempt of a retried check
  chainctl checks events acme/app#123 --check test --attempt 1 -o json

Options

      --attempt int32        Read this attempt of the check instead of its current one.
      --check string         The check, by name.
      --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).
      --sandbox-url string   URL of the sandbox control plane serving the WorkflowRuns API. Overridden by $CHAINCTL_WORKFLOWRUNS_URL. (default "https://workflowruns.chainbox.dev")
      --token string         Bearer token for the sandbox host. Overrides $CHAINCTL_AUTH_TOKEN and the chainctl session. Prefer passing it via the environment to keep it out of shell history.
      --workflow string      The workflow the check is in, when two workflows have a check of that name.
