Store elapsed time for failed tasks?

[nrusch]

For tasks that complete, Deadline sets the “Comp” field in the JobTasks table. However, it does not do so for tasks that fail.

I realize that “Comp” stands for “Completed (date/time)”, but is it really important that this is left as a meaningless value ( ISODate(“0001-01-01T00:00:00Z”) ) for failed tasks? It doesn’t seem like it, since the task’s status is stored separately.

Basically, I’m wondering if it would be possible for Deadline to actually start storing the abort timestamp for failed tasks (it’s useful information to have). And in the meantime, is there a place I can go to find an equivalent value (to calculate the elapsed time of failed tasks)?

Thanks

We have a wishlist item logged already to store information for failed tasks (render time, cpu usage, memory usage). It’s just not on the roadmap yet (and probably won’t be for 7.0).

You could check the wasted time column for error reports for the job to calculate this information for now.
