View execution history
Each time a Worker runs, Kibana records the run. Use the execution history to check that a Worker is running on schedule, to see what a run did, and to find out why a run failed. The history includes scheduled runs and runs that you start yourself.
- Turn on the Show managed workflows advanced setting. Because each Worker is a managed workflow, you can't see its runs while managed workflows are hidden. Refer to Set up Workflows > Show managed workflows.
- Make sure your role includes the privilege to read the executions of managed workflows. Refer to AlertZero privileges.
- Find Watches in the navigation menu or use the global search field.
- Open the Watch that contains the Worker.
- In the Worker's settings, select View executions. The Worker's execution history opens in the workflow editor.
- Select a run to see its logs, including what each step did.
If a run fails, open it and find the step with the error indicator to see what went wrong. For troubleshooting steps, refer to Monitor workflow execution.
To see what a run produced, such as proposed actions, refer to Use AlertZero.
Note
Runs that you start from the workflow editor are test runs. They're saved with a flask badge, so you can tell them apart from scheduled runs and from runs that you start from the workflow list. Refer to Use the YAML editor > Test runs and production runs.
