    The above agent that I see in Prefect Cloud is never coming back online. At what point will the Cloud automatically "remove" remembrance of this agent? I ask because I could conceivably name agents for purposes of tying them back to transient local resources in which case the number of named agents that are never coming back would get very large... clicking "remove" on all of them would be a nightmare.

    I wish the Runs screen (under a given flow) let me customize the columns, or at least added a few columns, especially on wide monitors - virtually the entire display width tells me about time (scheduled start time, actual start time, end time, duration) - I don’t care much about all those things, and care more about things like “label”, “current task” (for running flows), etc

    Hi, I have an opinion that can improve UI / UX. It would be great if on the calendar tab, you could select multiple Flow (possibly projects) to look at the intersection of past Flow launches. How difficult is it to implement, are there any pitfalls that I do not see?

    Hi! I have a question, when I schedule something in the UI it says "The Perfect Scheduler will only schedule 10 runs in advance", I am not sure why is it like that and what should I do if I wanted to, let's say, schedule flows for an entire month (must I do it from the code?)

    Hi all, I see that the UI search bar successfully lets me pull up flow runs, tasks and task runs by their ID (I just copy/paste the GUID), but this is not working for flows. I can look up flows by name, however. Is this intended, that I cannot look up a flow by ID, a transient issue or a bug?

    I wish I could resize the columns and/or change which columns are displayed, on Flow > Runs page - we put a lot of run meta data in our flow run names, and not being able to see the full name (on a 13" laptop monitor) is ever so slightly annoying

    I wish the flow name was as wide as the viewport allowed it to be - we use long flow names sometimes (maybe we are weird?) and seeing them truncated, with a bunch of white space to the right, is 😿 - details in thread…

    Hey everyone, I can't get agent automations in prefect cloud to work. When I setup an agent automation, it asks me to create or choose an agent config. I tried to pass on the name of this config to my agent on startup with the
    --agent-config-id
    flag, however that does not work because the
    prefect agent docker start
    command expects that flag to contain an id. Can anyone help me with that?

    Hello 👋 question. I have a mapped task with 8 runs in it. 2/8 tasks are hung (the dask-workers aren’t responding anymore) but I don’t want to cancel the entire flow and re-run it. What is supposed to happen when I set the task state of these 2/8 to Resume? They are then automatically progressed to Submitted. but never picked up by a worker for execution?

    Hi! The UI doesn't seem to agree with CRON (or me, or the code-based schedules). I've managed to create a task with a schedule
    */5 * * */2 *
    which the UI correctly parses as
    Every 5 minutes, every 2 months
    . However, I can't set that schedule in the UI, is that by design or an unintentional discrepancy between the two? The same input under Settings -> Schedule -> Advanced -> Cron just tells me "Invalid Input" :(

    Hello ladies and gentlemen, I run prefect local agent on one machine and use prefect cloud as backend. When I execute flow - agent creates child process which executes my flow. If this child process is killed for some reason (g.e. my Unix supervisor kills it for OOM) agent just retrying as configured, got the same result and give up. In web UI I can see that my task has 'running' status but it's actually do nothing. It's definitely a problem cause you can't really understand where your tasks are running or killed. I would expect agent collects info about killed child process and inform backed so I could at least see something is wrong with agent. Is this problem solved or maybe I can fix it somehow ?

    #bug-ui Under a certain window width (about this much), the navigation ribbon that is meant to be under the blue section at the top does not display. This is a significant impediment to functionality if I put the cloud UI on my secondary monitor.

    Hi All, question regarding logs in the prefect UI. We mostly use the RunNamespacedJob Task with the option log_level='info' to make sure the logs also show in the prefect logs. This worked fine in version 0.14.10. Recently we upgraded to 0.15.3 and I'm noticing that the logs don't show up in the prefect ui anymore. The logs do show up in the prefect-flow pod. Any idea how to fix this?

    Is there a bug going around for the task-run schematic page not updating? On our's it shows all tasks as pending yet the flow is absolutely running and the logs show that. It just started for us (last 40 minutes). Prefect version 0.15.7 and we're using the prefect-cloud.

Hey Kingsley, I’m sorry to hear that this issue is still happening to you. We made a big push towards performance improvements. I’m fairly confident that those changes have all gone out over the holiday (I will verify). So I’m certainly disappointed to hear that you’re still experiencing page lockups like this. Is there any specific information you can give about where you usually are in the app or what circumstances create this issue?

Kevin Mullins

@Evan Sutherland - What I have noticed is usually I am on the project page to see recent flow runs for the project. I’ll just leave the tab open with the zillions of other tabs I have and if I come back say in an hour or two the script becomes unresponsive in Chrome. The most common time I see this is when I start in the morning and have left the tab open overnight.
