Command Details
You can view command details. The details available for a command depend on whether the command is running or recently completed.
Running Commands
The Running Commands area shows commands that are in progress.
While the status of the command is In Progress, an Abort button displays so that you can abort the command if necessary.
The Commands status information is updated automatically while the command is running.
After the command has finished running (all its subcommands have finished), the status is updated, the Abort buttons disappear, and the information for Recent Commands appears as described below.
Recent Commands
The Recent Commands area shows commands that were run and finished within the search time range you specified.
If no commands were run during the selected time range, you can double the time range selection by clicking the Try expanding the time range selection link. If you are in the "current time" mode, the beginning time will move; if you are looking at a time range in the past, both the beginning and ending times of the range are changed. You can also change the time range using the options described in the topic Time Line.
Select a value from the pager 
to control how many commands are listed, or click the arrows to
view pages.
Commands are shown with the most recent ones at the top.
The icon associated with the status (which typically includes the time
that the command finished) plus the result message tells you whether the command succeeded
or failed 
. If the command failed,
it indicates if it was one of the subcommands that actually failed. In many cases, multiple
subcommands result from the top level command.
The First Run command runs during the initial startup of your cluster. Click this link to view the command history of the cluster startup.
