Octopus 2.0 Task Output RFC
Blog post from Octopus Deploy
Octopus Deploy is undergoing significant changes for its 2.0 release, focusing on enhancing how long-running deployment tasks are executed and communicated with remote agents. The update aims to improve the user experience by combining the current deployment details page, which consists of a basic summary and a hierarchical tree of log entries, into a single, more intuitive view. This new interface will feature progress bars and summaries to provide a clearer overview of ongoing tasks, with errors and alerts prominently displayed to reduce the need for log scrutiny. A separate tab will still offer a detailed deployment log, with improvements such as consistent time zone presentation and easier readability. Additional tabs will cover artifacts and task history, providing comprehensive information about the deployment process while inviting user feedback on desired features and data capture.
