Add Event Log summary to Task/Dag Overview tabs #41312
During the town hall meeting - it was brought up that important scheduler events in the Event Tab may not be easily visible or discoverable, with folks used to looking at the task logs.
One idea, was to have a count of Event Logs associated with a particular task run - e.g. [Event Logs (5)]
Instead of the count in the tab, we can do this on the dag/task overview pages. Although event/audit logs can still be inconsistent on what is recorded.
i'd like to work on this, and I want to float a slightly richer UX.
How about something like "Smart Logs/ Unified Logs" and a filter menu for log type?

Something like this but with interactive rich log lines?
Markers are collapsed one-liners, expandable to full event details. Since the Logs tab already has source and log-level filters, audit events could simply appear as an additional source there — off by default or toggleable, so nothing changes for users who don't want it.
Yeah that sounds interesting. Feel free to comment screenshots/videos of a demo here first for us to experiment with the UX before you work on a full pull request
