Seeing Detailed Task Information

The Task Details page contains four tables that provide detailed information about the selected task. This one details page contains information for each task that appears in the three job views tabs. All the information on this page is useful for diagnosing jobs that might be experiencing some kind of problem or issue.

• Shepherd PID — The process ID of the shepherd.
