Workflow Executions

Invoking a Workflow produces a Workflow Execution with introspection capabilities

Triggering Workflow Executions

Workflow Executions are run either via manual triggers or via the scheduled cadence. These can be triggered manually through the Overview > Workflows page and pressing Trigger for a specific Workflow. Otherwise, simply press Activate for a given Workflow in order to schedule it to run at the specified cadence.

Inspecting Workflow Executions

Details about Workflow Executions can be visualized either through Overview > Workflows > Inspector or by visiting Inspector on the left-hand sidebar and clicking on the Workflow entity. Executions are presented in reverse chronological order. This view exposes a number of filtering options.

  • Name: This dropdown allows for filtering the displayed Workflow Executions by their user-friendly names.
  • Workflow Execution ID: This filter allows for finding the results for a specific Workflow Execution ID. This will be of the UUIDv4 format.
  • Status: This filter allows for displaying Workflow Executions based on their current status.

Clicking on a Workflow in the Inspector will bring up the DAG on the upper right-hand side. Clicking on a node in this graph will show details about the Job Runs within that node. The runs are presented in chronological order in the dropdown. As with the Job Run inspector, the logs, resource utilization metrics, and cost Grafana dashboards are provided in this view. More information about the inspector can be found in the section on Job Runs. Aggregate visualizations at the workflow level are coming soon.
