Vertex AI Pipelines lets you run machine learning (ML) pipelines
that were built using the Kubeflow Pipelines SDK or TensorFlow Extended in a serverless
manner. This document describes how to use Vertex AI Pipelines to
visualize, analyze, and compare pipeline runs.
To learn more about running and scheduling pipelines, read the guide to
running a pipeline.
Visualize pipeline runs using Google Cloud console
Use the following instructions to learn more about using Google Cloud console to
visualize pipeline runs.
Click the run name of the pipeline run that you want to analyze.
The pipeline run page appears and displays the pipeline's runtime graph.
The pipeline's summary appears in the Pipeline run analysis pane.
The pipeline graph shows the workflow steps in the pipeline.
The pipeline summary shows the basic information about the pipeline run
and the parameters that were used in this pipeline run.
To learn more about a pipeline step or artifact, click the step or artifact
in the runtime graph.
The Pipeline run analysis pane shows information about this pipeline
step or artifact.
For pipeline steps, this information includes execution details, the
input parameters that were passed to the step, and any output parameters
that the step passed to the pipeline.
To learn more about the selected pipeline step:
Click View job to see the job details.
The job details page includes information like the machine type used
to run this step, the container image that the step runs in, and the
encryption key used by this step.
Click View logs to see the logs produced by this pipeline step.
The logs pane appears. Use the logs to help debug the behavior of
your pipeline.
For artifacts, this information includes the data type of the artifact,
the location where the artifact is stored, and the artifact's metrics.
To learn more about the selected artifact:
Click the artifact's URI to open that location in Cloud Storage.
