Monitoring flow and orchestration runs
Key Takeaway
Check failed and paused flow interviews on the Automation app's Monitor tab. Debugging an orchestration run needs both a permission and sharing of the run and its flow interview.
The Automation Lightning app, also called the Automation app, is the central place in Lightning Experience to monitor and manage your existing flows and orchestrations. It shows which flow interviews failed or paused and why, so you can debug the failed ones and resume the paused ones. It also lets you track and act on orchestration runs.
The Automation app and its tabs
The Automation app is available in Lightning Experience. To make it available to anyone with permission to see it, an admin selects the process automation setting in Setup that enables the Automation app.
Each tab answers a different question, so pick the tab by what you need to know.
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Home | Recently modified flows and flows that are configured with errors |
| Monitor | All failed and paused flow interviews, and why each one failed or paused |
| Orchestrations | Orchestrations and their related orchestration runs |
| Flow Logs | Performance metrics, only for the flows you enabled for logging |
Use Flow Logs to track flow performance rather than individual failures. Flow Logs depends on Data 360 being set up and on flow logging being configured. You first use the Flow Logs tab to do both, and then you can track the performance metrics.
