@Marvin I have a Marvin agent doing a simple webpage fetching task. But I want to inspect / observe the inner workings to see what's going on, so that I can better understand what's happening. How could I do that?

To observe and inspect the inner workings of your Marvin agent's task execution in Prefect, you can use logging and task run monitoring. Here are some steps and resources to help you: 1. Logging: Prefect provides a logging utility that you can use to log messages from within your tasks. This can be useful for understanding what's happening during the execution of your tasks. You can access the logger in your tasks using

get_run_logger()

. 2. Task Run Monitoring: You can use Prefect's client to fetch and monitor task runs. This involves using the

get_client()

function to create a client instance and then querying task runs using the

read_task_runs

method. This allows you to observe the status and details of each task run. 3. Prefect API: Familiarize yourself with Prefect's top-level API, which includes functions like

get_client

,

get_run_logger

, and task management utilities. Here's a link to the Prefect API overview. 4. Configuration: Ensure your Prefect environment is set up correctly. You might need to set the

PREFECT_API_URL

to connect to Prefect Cloud or a local Prefect server instance. This is crucial for submitting and monitoring tasks. For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the Prefect documentation and explore the API functions available for task management and logging.
