Interaction with the Tasks in Airflow UI
In Airflow UI, if we click on a particular task, then we will land on the task context menu, from there, we can take the following actions on a given task
Instance Details: This gives us additional information related to our task instance, like the dag_id, dag_model, dag_run, etc.
Rendered: It tells us what will the output of the data that we injected in our task at run time. This is related to templates.
Log: It fetches the log of the DAG, which shows the output as well as tells whether the DAG run was a success or failure
All Instances: It permits us to check all task instances for given tasks across all of the task runs.
File Upstream: By clicking on the file Upstream, we can get our tasks as well as the upstream tasks on the graph view.
Task Actions: With the help of task actions, we can manually run our DAGs, clear the previous runs, or mark success or failure to a particular task instance.

Pre-requisite: Airflow
The user interface (UI) feature in Airflow helps us understand, monitor, and troubleshoot our data pipelines. UI serves to be a great tool that gives us insights into our DAGs and DAG runs.
