Identify workflow task PID

Question

Hello, looking into a way to use taskkill to kill any alteryx workflow that hangs and also identify which flows hangs when.

Is there a way to link an alteryx proces from its PID in the tasklist to which workflow it is related to on the server?

In mongodb AlteryxService AS_Queue theres information about running workflows, but how do i identify their corresponding process and PID in the tasklist ?

Thats weird, because the numbers marked with red matches PIDs for AlteryxEngineCmd.exe processes in the tasklists when running. I just need to be able to tell which PID belongs to which workflow so i can kill the right one.

@GloriousWater ,

The number you see on the engine folders are not related to PIDs but are random numbers.  If you do not see the running workflows through the View Schedules windows you could probably try using Process Manager to see the details of the running AlteryxEngineCmd.exe processes.
