# Event History
Monitor all workflow events and their stack traces in one centralized view under the Event History (opens new window) section in the dashboard.
Within the Event History, you'll be able to filter your events by workflow, execution status, within a specific time range.
This includes events in progress for real-time visibility into the health of your workflows.
This feature is in beta
Event Histories are currently in beta and are only available to Paid workspaces and with a limited number of events to start.
# Filtering Events
The filters at the top of the screen allow you to search all events processed by your workflows:
You can filter by the event's Status, time of initiation or by the Workflow name.
TIP
The filters are scoped to the current workspace.
If you're not seeing the events or workflow you're expecting, try switching workspaces.
# Filtering by status
The Status filter controls which events are shown by their status. For example selecting the Executing status, you'll be shown all events that are currently being processed by your workflows.
# All paused workflow executions
Workflows that are paused from $.flow.delay
or $.flow.suspend
will be shown when this filter is activated.
WARNING
If you're using setTimeout
or sleep
in Node.js or Python steps, the event will not be considered Paused. Using those language native execution holding controls leaves your workflow in a Executing state.
# All failed workflow executions
You can view all failed workflow executions by applying the Error status filter.
This will only display the failed workflow executions in the selected time period.
This view in particular is helpful for identifying trends of errors, or workflows with persistent problems.
# Within a time frame
Filtering by time frame will only include workflow events started within the defined range.
Using this dropdown, you can select between convenient time ranges, or specify a custom range on the right side.
Long running workflows
The time range filter depends on when the execution event first started. If a long running workflow starts within the specified time range but it's execution continues past the filtered timeframe, it will still be included in the results.
# Filtering by workflow
You can also filter events by a specific workflow. You can search by the workflow's name in the search bar in the top right.
Alternatively, you can filter by workflow from a specific event. First, open the menu on the far right, then select Filter By Workflow. Then only events processed by that workflow will appear.
# Inspecting events
Clicking on an individual event will open a panel that displays the steps executed, their individual configurations, as well as the overall performance and results of the entire workflow.
At this time it is not possible to edit the workflow with the selected event history. Only events shown in the event inspector can be choosen for the workflow builder.
The top of the event history details will display details including the overall status of that particular event execution and errors if any.
If there is an error message, the link at the bottom of the error message will link to the corresponding workflow step that threw the error.
The event log is missing a workflow step, or the configuration is not what I expect
Changing a workflow after a particular event's execution will not update it's event history with that new workflow change.
You'll need to replay an event to execute the workflow with the latest changes.
# Limits
Beta access
During the beta, paid accounts will have access to view the past 7 days of events across all of their workflows. This limit will increase as this trial continues.
The number of events recorded and available for viewing in the Event History depends on your plan. Please see the pricing page (opens new window) for more details.
