15.2 Step Timeline and Search

Orbnetes deployment and release orchestration documentation for operators and platform teams.

Step Timeline

Timeline shows execution order and outcome per step.

It helps answer:

  • which step started first,
  • where execution stopped,
  • whether failure is deterministic at same step across reruns,
  • how long each step consumed.

Search

Search lets operators quickly locate:

  • known error signatures,
  • missing file/permission messages,
  • deployment markers (for example migration or service restart lines).

Typical search flow:

  • search for error, failed, permission denied, not found, specific command name.
  • jump next/previous matches.
  • compare match context in nearby lines.

Operational value:

  • reduces time scanning large logs manually,
  • improves consistency in incident triage across team members.
