Alteryx workflow logs

[lalitkumarnaidu]

Hi,

I understand that currently, one can use email events or the email tool to send notifications for a workflow. I have also used the functionality to send the Alteryx logs as part of the email.

I wanted to find out if there is a way I can only report/extract out very specific parts of the log. This would be useful to customize and make the notifications much more specific.

Hi @lalitkumarnaidu ,

Have you checked out the Crew Macros ?

One of the tools in that package is the Runner tool.

The idea is to use a shell workflow containing the runner tool, which in turn call the workflow you want executed and the logs for. The runner tool outputs the logs as a blob in the data stream. This blob can then be processed to extract specific information like you described.

Best,

Thanks @Jagdeeshn looks like this might work, let me try and implement it.
