Log job modifications

Like the ability to trace where the job was copied from before the modification.

what is the difference between "sequence change" and "step change"? do you mean re-order of workflow sequence, vs. modification of a step?

Also, how about: method of job modification, e.g. XML uploade, API, GUI?

• also track Job ID to correlate b/w name changes

So something like this?

greg [timestamp] [ID1] "some/job" * MODIFIED: workflow[+1,-2,*3], options[+1], nodefilter, description
greg [timestamp] [ID2] "another/job" * CREATED
greg [timestamp] [ID3] "third/job" * DELETED

The +1,-2 etc are perhaps optimistic because recording simplified diff between workflow changes might not be possible/easy.

Sequence change meant adding/re-ordering the steps.
Yah method of job modification is important.

BTW, if we ultimately start serializing job defs to a file on disk, then perhaps characterizing the kind of change in the log is less important.

+1

If there on disk, then you can use diff to compare them (or some equivalent tool). Probably fits into an existing tool chain much easier.

here's some sample output using this log4j format:

[%d{ISO8601}] %X{user} %X{change} [%X{id}] %X{project} "%X{groupPath}/%X{jobName}" (%X{method})%n

Looks good for starters.
