Real-time run logs
Introduction
When a process flow is running, the logs panel provides real-time information about the progress of each step:
This is a great way to monitor what's happening during each step of the flow.
Working with real-time logs
As a flow progresses, click the 'tick' icon for a shape to view information for that step - for example:
You can drag this panel wherever you like in the canvas. If you prefer to work with a larger window, click the 'pop-out' icon:
Log details
Details are provided over a series of tabs:
Logs
The logs tab provides a commentary about the status of the process flow as it progresses through each step - for example:
Payloads
The payloads tab shows the payload for the selected step in the process flow - this means you can see exactly what's happened to your data at every stage. For example:
If a shape generates multiple payloads (for example, where a flow control shape batches data into smaller payloads), you can choose which one to view - for example:
If a payload is too large to display it is trimmed and a download payload option is available for offline viewing.
Requests
The requests tab shows details of the API request made for the selected shape - for example:
Here you can see the API request URL, method, body content and headers. If multiple requests are made (for example, if a connection fails the first time) you can use the request dropdown list to view each one.
Remember that every process flow shape is driven by an API request - the information here shows what's going on behind the scenes.
Responses
The responses tab shows details of the API response received for the selected shape - for example:
Here you can see the API response status, body content and headers. If multiple requests were made (for example, if a connection failed the first time) you can use the response dropdown list to view each one.
