Output

Files:

The nf-co2footprint plugin creates three output files:

  • traceFile
    The trace file includes calculations for each task, similar to the Nextflow trace file. Within this file you can find resource usage details of specific tasks and also the hardware information of your CPU.

  • summaryFile
    The summary file includes the total CO₂ footprint of the workflow run and the configuration used for the plugin.

  • reportFile
    The HTML report contains information about the carbon footprint of the whole pipeline run as well as plots showing the distributions of the CO₂ emissions for the different processes. The CO2 emissions are separated into newly generated (i.e. from non-cached tasks) and total (including cached tasks). Additionally, it contains a table with the metrics for all individual tasks. The table is limited to 10000 entries by default.

Logging:

Log messages may indicate issues, successful steps, or warnings about potentially unwanted behavior. By default, identical messages triggered by multiple tasks are shown only once in the console, while every occurrence is recorded in the .nextflow.log file with a [DUPLICATE] tag.
