@Marvin I am using

prefect shell watch ....

to run some commands. In the prefect dashboard i think i only see the stdout from the command not stderr. Do I need to explicitly tell it to capture stderr as well somehow? if so how?

The Prefect documentation does not explicitly mention capturing

stderr

when using the

prefect shell watch

command. However, typically in shell environments, both

stdout

and

stderr

can be redirected or captured together using shell redirection techniques. To capture both

stdout

and

stderr

, you can modify your shell command to redirect

stderr

to

stdout

using

2>&1

. This way, both outputs will be combined and should be visible in the Prefect dashboard. For example, if your original command is:

shell
prefect shell watch <your_command>

You can modify it to:

shell
prefect shell watch '<your_command> 2>&1'

This will ensure that both

stdout

and

stderr

are captured together. You can find more information about executing shell commands with Prefect in the Prefect Shell documentation.
