Once a pipeline has finished a job, you can access additional execution metadata about the datums processed in the associated meta system repo. Note that all the inspect datum
information above is stored in this meta repo, along with a couple more. For example, you can find the reason
in meta/<datumID>/meta
: the error message when the datum failed.
See the detail of the meta repo structure below.
A meta repo contains 2 directories:
/meta/
: Themeta
directory holds datums’ statistics/pfs
: Thepfs
directory holds the input data of datums, and their resulting output data
pachctl list file edges.meta@master
System response:
NAME TAG TYPE SIZE
/meta/ dir 1.956KiB
/pfs/ dir 371.9KiB
Meta directory #
The meta directory holds each datum’s JSON metadata, and can be accessed using a get file
:
Example #
pachctl get file edges.meta@master:/meta/002f991aa9db9f0c44a92a30dff8ab22e788f86cc851bec80d5a74e05ad12868/meta | jq

Usepachctl list file edges.meta@master:/meta/
to list the files in the meta directory.
Pfs Directory #
The pfs directory has both the input files of datums, and the resulting output files that were committed to the output repo:
Example #
pachctl list file montage.meta@master:/pfs/47be06d9e614700397d8d56272a1a5e039df82bf931e8e3c9d34bccbfbc8b349/

Use pachctl list file montage.meta@master:/pfs/
to list the files in the pfs directory.
