Description

The seldon pipeline status command queries the Seldon Core 2 scheduler for the current status of a deployed pipeline. It returns a JSON response containing the pipeline version, state, models readiness flag, and detailed step information. The -w PipelineReady flag provides a blocking wait that returns only when the pipeline reaches the ready condition.

Code Reference

CLI Signature

seldon pipeline status <pipelineName> [flags]

CLI Options

Flag	Description	Default
pipelineName	Name of the pipeline to query (positional argument)	(required)

--scheduler-host	Seldon scheduler host	0.0.0.0:9004
--authority	Authority (HTTP/2) or virtual host (HTTP/1)	(none)

Inputs

• Pipeline name: The metadata.name of the pipeline to query.

Outputs

• JSON status response containing:

Field	Type	Description
pipelineName	string	Name of the pipeline
versions[].state.pipelineVersion	integer	Current version number
versions[].state.status	string	Pipeline state (PipelineReady, PipelineCreating, PipelineFailed)
versions[].state.modelsReady	boolean	Whether all referenced models are available
versions[].state.reason	string	Human-readable state explanation
versions[].state.lastChangeTimestamp	string	ISO 8601 timestamp of last state change
versions[].pipeline.steps	array	Detailed step configuration

Usage Examples

Basic Status Check

# Query pipeline status
seldon pipeline status tfsimples | jq -M .

Blocking Wait for Readiness

# Wait until pipeline reaches PipelineReady state
seldon pipeline status tfsimples -w PipelineReady | jq -M .
