Dear community
I have a workflow running on server and i would like to save , at the end of execution , the result message / error in case of errors
Could you please share with me the source ( log files, mongodb...)
Thank you
@Youssef_BenSalem if you want to capture the errors, warnings and any other message from the workflow, you need to enable and use the Engine Logs.

Example from the article:
Hi @Youssef_BenSalem ,
Have you tried using the Runner Macro (part of the Crew Macros pack). That lets you run a workflow and get the logs(including any errors) as an input stream with the same workflow.
You can then use this to populate your tables.

Hi
Thank you for replying
Currently i am not using the crew macros,
Is there any other way to track how my workflow running it components
As i am sure these data are being stored somewhere cause in case of error it shows exactly the ID of the tool wherethe error happened
I would still suggest looking into the crew macros as that would be the easiest way to export/store logs.
But if you don't prefer that route please refer the documentation below on how to do it on the server itself:-

Thank you so much
Exactly what i wanted
I wanted to use them but I found here many comments suggesting that Alteryx do not support the use of crew macros on server. Also, some said "it is discouraged to use them" . Honestly I am not sure why but i am avoiding the crew macros. Do you have any idea on that matter?
