Workflow logs

See what's been happening​

Whenever a workflow triggers, a run log is created to record a summary of the actions performed and the items involved.

To view the logs of the workflow you're viewing, select the root node to display its properties in the right panel, and then use the tab bar to switch to the Logs tab. Logs are listed in descending order (newest first).

The Logs tab of an event workflow

Select a run log to view its details.

The General tab of a workflow log

To view the sequence of actions performed, switch to the Run log tab. Actions are listed in ascending order (first at the top).

Select an item to view its details, where you can do things like cross-reference its own audit log or download a report document.

Retention period​

By default, schedule workflow logs are stored for 45 days and other workflow logs are stored for 14 days. Older logs are automatically deleted to save storage space.

You can customise the retention period of individual workflows as needed. Currently, this requires using the Alloy API. When creating or editing a workflow via the relevant Workflow endpoint (ReDoc / Swagger), you can include the optional logsRetentionDays property to set the desired number of days.
