Actual Result

It seems Nomad-UI interface shows the history for given allocation.

Hey @EugenKon, good news, if you upgrade to 1.6 or later, we've actually solved this already on the Job page. If you check out the release blog here you can see a preview of the changes: https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/nomad-1-6-adds-node-pools-ux-updates-and-more

You'll notice that this is not yet the case for the Job Index, which still unfortunately shows the historical information. The good news here is that we're working on updating that currently. So I think either a 1.7.X or 1.8.0 will have that updated Job Index with the latest values. If you want to follow along, this backend issue is the work to enable the frontend change for that.

Closing out the issue as done.

@mikenomitch Seems the issue still is not resolved. I upgraded to 1.7.5 and see this:

Warning: A newer Command Line Tools release is available.
Update them from Software Update in System Settings.

If that doesn't show you any updates, run:
  sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
  sudo xcode-select --install

Alternatively, manually download them from:

You should download the Command Line Tools for Xcode 15.1.

==> Caveats
To start hashicorp/tap/nomad now and restart at login:
  brew services start hashicorp/tap/nomad
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
  /usr/local/opt/nomad/bin/nomad agent -dev

@philrenaud FYI

[philrenaud]

Hi @EugenKon , thanks for this report. Task Group pages will get updated "Historical -> Current" treatment alongside the Jobs Index page and Periodic/Parameterized parent jobs pages in a coming release. I've added an issue to track this going forward.
