We use pipeline on a scale of 64+ nodes. We utilize the wfapi/describe endpoint extensively to track and report stage execution to a custom server. When a stage fails or takes too long, I am required to go from our reporting server over to Jenkins then goto the logs of the run then search for a known substring of our server naming standard so I can figure out where I need to ssh / debug issues or what grafana page I need to view to analyze resource utilization.

Please add the value of execNode in the wfapi/describe OR another endpoint. I understand some stages run on master & the default value can remain empty.

I find JENKINS-35634 appears to ask the same, but it is closed as a dup of JENKINS-26138, which seems unrelated.

ex:

{
"_links":
{
"self":
{
"href":"/job/job_name/44/execution/node/16/wfapi/describe"}
}
,"id":"16","name":"Setup for build","execNode":"","status":"SUCCESS","startTimeMillis":1494429943607,"durationMillis":320,"pauseDurationMillis":0}]
}
