Live TUI monitor for deferred jobs
deferred_top.RdDisplays a live-updating terminal dashboard for a parade_deferred object.
Adapts to the backend: SLURM gets a rich per-chunk table with metrics and
log tailing; local/crew/mirai get a progress bar with resolved/unresolved counts.
Arguments
- d
A
parade_deferredobject (fromsubmit())- refresh
Seconds between display updates (default 3)
- nlog
Number of log lines to show (SLURM only, default 20)
- clear
Clear screen between updates (default TRUE)
- once
Single-shot mode: display once and return (default FALSE)
- max_rows
Maximum chunk rows to display (default 20). Remaining chunks are summarised in a single line.
Details
Progress is tracked via index file counting (index-NNNN.rds in d$index_dir),
which works across all backends.
Examples
# \donttest{
grid <- data.frame(x = 1:6, g = rep(1:3, 2))
fl <- flow(grid) |>
stage("s", function(x) { Sys.sleep(1); list(y = x^2) },
schema = returns(y = dbl())) |>
distribute(dist_local(by = "g"))
d <- submit(fl)
deferred_top(d, refresh = 1, once = TRUE)
