Is it possible such that if a workflow fails it gets logged into Windows event logs or Event viewer.
Wherever the below directory points to in your System Settings will be where you find the Workflow Run Logs.
@Sachin1 Are you referencing the server Alteryx or Designer Alteryx on your local machine (or both)? While nothing is going to the event viewer, there are engine logs that you can parse. This would be a system setting on the server or available as a user setting on the local machine. It would spit out 1 log file per workflow. You would then need to create a process to grab those logs and check for errors.
I have found the folder where all the Engine logs are present but it has only one file with GUI temp lock of size 0 KB. Can anyone help me with the process to grab it so that i can track the workflow failure and generate alert based on that. I dont want to use the send email facility already provided in the Alteryx designer as I have 100s of workflow and cannot manually add the configuration to each workflow.
@MikeSp @KaneG How can i get this to work on a scheduled workkflow from the server? We do not have access to the prod server, we can only promote our workflows there. Trying to get a run log for each run sent to location and not an event email.
The Output Log is generated after the workflow completes, and so the ways that it can be referenced in a workflow (Event, Email), are defined operations processed after the workflow completes. Hence, there is no way to reference it while the workflow is running.
The Server will output the logs to somewhere as defined above, but that is a Setting that would need to be configured on the Server.
