Monitoring Workflows Health

Monitor your Workflows activity using tools in the Blink platform. All your past executions can be seen on the Executions page and each Workflows shows its past executions in the Run Log tab. The activity graph of a Workflows indicates if a Workflow has failed and why. You can opt to receive notifications on failure of Workflows via email.

Run Log Execution History

Click on any execution and you will be redirected to the Run Log tab of that specific Workflows. The left-hand side shows a list of past executions. At the top of the page, a status bar shows relevant information pertaining to the selected execution. Beneath it you can see input parameters entered by the user, details of each step, as well as the output that was returned to the user. Click on an output parameter to see all outputs relating to this execution, or click on another execution of the same Workflows to see its details. The run log displays executions from the last 30 days.

You also have the option to choose whether you want to display test runs in the Runs logs section. To do this, simply click the Thumbnail icon located in the top-right corner, and then check the box if you want to show test runs or uncheck it if you prefer not to display them.

Monitoring Workflow Failure

Error Indicator on the Activity Graph

The activity graph can be found on your Workspace Workflows page. Upon failure on the last run, an error symbol - the small orange circle with the exclamation mark in the middle - will be displayed. Hover your cursor over the graph to see a tooltip that displays the time and reasons for the error.

Monitoring Workflows Failure via Email

Select which Workflows to be notified, via email upon failure. For example, get notified if system critical resources management or production-critical Workflows fail, so you can attend to such issues quickly. Select which users to notify for each Workflow.

Configuring Notification on Error

  1. In the Workflow Overview page of a selected Workflows, toggle the "notify on error" button. A dialogue box will appear

  2. Enter the email addresses of users that will receive the notification upon failure of the Workflows execution. Separate the list of email addresses by ,.
