1586905 - better tooling for inspecting release graphs

Status: NEW

(Release Engineering :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Jordan Lund (:jlund)]

motivation: often with releaseduty, it can be hard to "un-wedge" a stuck release. A big part of this having to determine, which tasks depend and which tasks block particular tasks.

for a releaseduty person, it would be helpful to have tooling that are able to do more than simply rerun a given $taskid.

So, ideally, this ticket would enable:

• in addition to upstream deps, find all downstream tasks of a given task.
• show the depth of the upstream and downstream tasks (child, grandchild).
• Verify the run state is correct and the runid matches expectation
• some artifact sanity checking?

Having better introspection like the above mentioned bullet points, may help other places of automation.
