Azure Databricks offers a robust job run status and monitoring system that allows users to track the progress of their jobs and troubleshoot any issues that may arise. With Databricks, you can monitor job runs in real-time, making it easier to identify and fix problems quickly.

You can view the status of your job runs in the Databricks UI by clicking on the Jobs tab and selecting the job you want to monitor. From there, you can see the status of each run, including the start and end times, duration, and any errors that may have occurred.

Databricks also provides a feature called "Job Runs" that allows you to view the history of your job runs, including past runs, failed runs, and cancelled runs. This feature is especially useful for debugging and troubleshooting purposes.

Job Run Details

Determining Job Run Status

Determining Job Run Status is a crucial aspect of Azure Databricks. Azure Databricks determines whether a job run was successful based on the outcome of the job's leaf tasks. A leaf task is a task that has no downstream dependencies.

A job run can have one of three outcomes: Succeeded, Succeeded with failures, or Failed. To determine the status, Azure Databricks checks if all leaf tasks were successful.

Here are the possible outcomes of a job run:

  • Succeeded: All tasks were successful.
  • Succeeded with failures: Some tasks failed, but all leaf tasks were successful.
  • Failed: One or more leaf tasks failed.

To view the job run details, including information about the success or failure of each task, you can access the job run details page from the Runs tab for the job.
