It can have one of the following values: - `TaskStatePending` - The task is waiting to be run, either for the first time or due to a restart. - `TaskStateRunning` - The task is currently running. - `TaskStateDead` - The task is dead and will not run again. - `StartedAt`: The time the task was last started at. Can be updated through restarts. - `FinishedAt`: The time the task was finished at. - `LastRestart`: The last time the task was restarted. - `Restarts`: The number of times the task has restarted. - `Events` - An event contains metadata about the event. The latest 10 events are stored per task. Each event is timestamped (Unix nanoseconds) and has one of the following types: - `Setup Failure` - The task could not be started because there was a failure setting up the task prior to it running. - `Driver Failure` - The task could not be started due to a failure in the driver. - `Started` - The task was started; either for the first time or due to a restart. - `Terminated` - The task was started and exited. - `Killing` - The task has been sent the kill signal. - `Killed` - The task was killed by a user. - `Received` - The task has been pulled by the client at the given timestamp. - `Failed Validation` - The task was invalid and as such it didn't run. - `Restarting` - The task terminated and is being restarted. - `Not Restarting` - the task has failed and is not being restarted because it has exceeded its restart policy. - `Downloading Artifacts` - The task is downloading the artifact(s) - specified in the task. - `Failed Artifact Download` - Artifact(s) specified in the task failed to download. - `Restart Signaled` - The task was singled to be restarted. - `Signaling` - The task was is being sent a signal. - `Sibling Task Failed` - A task in the same task group failed. - `Leader Task Dead` - The group's leader task is dead. - `Driver` - A message from the driver. - `Task Setup` - Task setup messages. - `Building Task Directory` - Task is building its file system. Depending on the type the event will have applicable annotations.
