Argo Workflows

When Argo Workflows are installed, four kinds get dedicated treatment: Workflow, WorkflowTemplate, ClusterWorkflowTemplate, and CronWorkflow.

Workflow Detail

The Workflow tab visualizes the workflow’s step tree or DAG, plus a side inspector for the selected node.

Tree View (default)

The hierarchical step tree with parent-to-child nesting. Each node shows:

  • Phase (Running, Succeeded, Failed, Errored, Pending, Skipped, Omitted).
  • Duration.
  • Message, when present.

Click a node to select it. The inspector pane shows the node’s inputs, outputs, timestamps, exit code, and exit message. Buttons across the top expand or collapse the whole tree. The default expand depth is two: the root plus its first level of children.

DAG View

Steps render as boxes, with edges drawn from the dependencies between them. The inspector is the same as the tree view. Click a box to select it.

Jumping to the Pod

For Pod-type nodes, the inspector has a button that opens the backing Pod’s detail view.

Templates Tab

Available on Workflow. Lists the WorkflowTemplates and ClusterWorkflowTemplates the workflow references. Each row links to the template’s detail view.

Workflows Tab

Available on WorkflowTemplate, ClusterWorkflowTemplate, and CronWorkflow. Lists the Workflows spawned by the template, newest first.

Pods Tab

Available on Workflow. Lists the pods the workflow created.

Actions

ActionEffect
StopStops the workflow gracefully: in-flight pods finish and onExit handlers run before it halts.
TerminateStops the workflow immediately: running pods are killed and onExit does not run.
RetryRestarts a finished workflow, dropping its failed and errored steps so execution resumes from the last successful node.
SubmitAvailable on WorkflowTemplate, ClusterWorkflowTemplate, and CronWorkflow. Opens the submission modal to launch a new Workflow from the template.
ResubmitAvailable on Workflow. Opens the submission modal pre-filled with this workflow’s definition.

The submission modal accepts parameter overrides; the new workflow’s name is generated for you.
