Major Description
The Task Execution Output window hardcodes the path to the log files (stdout and stderr). Because the prefix path is configured for each agent in ambari-agent.ini, it's possible for each agent to have its own independent value, and if the configuration changes, then historic logs will not be referenced correctly.
The ask is to remove the hardcoded prefix from the UI, retrieve the log file paths by calling an API, and store the log file path for each task.
Related item:
Once we have the API available, it would be possible to display the logs via an HTTP server running on the agents.
Proposal:
The agent will advertise its prefix path when it registers, and the server will store the path for each host in-memory.
When the server spawns a task execution on an agent, it will insert a record into the host_command_role table, which will contain 2 new fields to store the values for output_log and error_log, by retrieving the prefix path for the host that the command will run on.
Then, the UI can simply query the API to display the log paths.
