Execution Monitoring

Orchka provide a powerful set of tools to monitor your workflow executions in real-time and review historical runs.

Execution History

The Executions page provides a comprehensive list of all workflow runs. You can filter executions by status (Success, Failed, Running) and search for specific runs.

Each entry in the execution history shows:

• Status: The current state of the execution.
• Workflow: The name of the workflow that was executed.
• Started At: When the execution began.
• Duration: Total time taken for the execution.

Execution Detail View

Clicking on an execution entry opens the Execution Detail View. This view is designed to provide deep visibility into what happened during a specific run.

Trace Timeline

The execution detail features a D3-powered Trace Timeline. This visualization maps out every step of the workflow against a horizontal time axis.

• Step Visualization: Each node execution is represented as a segment on the timeline.
• Duration Mapping: The length of each segment corresponds to the time it took for that specific node to execute.
• Relative Positioning: Quickly identify bottlenecks by seeing which steps took the longest or where delays occurred between steps.

Status Indicators

Each step in the trace is color-coded based on its outcome:

• ● Success: The node completed successfully.
• ● Failed: The node encountered an error.
• ● Pending/Running: The node is currently executing or waiting.

Data Inspection

Deeply inspect the data flowing through your workflow with the integrated Payload Viewer.

Payload Viewer

Located within the Execution Detail view, the Payload Viewer uses a premium, searchable JSON tree structure to display:

• Input: The exact data passed to the node.
• Output: The result produced by the node.
• Error Details: If a node fails, the full error message and stack trace (if available) are shown.

Features

• Collapsible Nodes: Navigate large JSON structures easily.
• Syntax Highlighting: Type-safe and readable data representation.
• Breadcrumb Navigation: Keep track of where you are in complex objects.

Real-time Updates

When you execute a workflow from the editor, the monitoring system provides live feedback:

• Live Trace: Watch nodes light up on the canvas and appear in the trace timeline as they execute.
• Instant Logs: View logs and data as soon as they are generated by the backend.

Error Recovery

If an execution fails, Orchka's monitoring tools help you identify the root cause quickly:

1. Locate the red failed step in the Trace Timeline.
2. Select the step to view its Error Payload.
3. Fix the configuration in the editor and Re-execute.
