Server API to Airflow when workflow completed

ThomasT

Hi all, 

 

I'm new to Alteryx Server and we are about to get one for our environment. In the new architecture the plan is to use Airflow to trigger workflows on the server via API depending on received metadata from other completed workflows. I'm struggling to find clear documentation on what the metadata from MongoDB looks like (eg. field names, data types). I saw some youtube videos around BLOB decode of MongoDB data which was all I could find. 

 

Can anyone provide an extract table that shows the metadata that is captured of a workflow which ran on the Server? I'm mostly interested in start time, end time and status, similar to a standard log when a workflow runs on desktop or scheduler. 

 

The other question I had is around Server API. Once a workflow has run sucessfully, is there a way to use the Server API to check the status and last succesfull runtime of specific workflows that ran on the server?

 

Thanks,

Thomas

@ThomasT the MongoDB schema documentation is available through the following link:

Version 1 of the Server API allows you to get a list of jobs for a given app. Swagger documentation is available at: http://{ServerHostname}/gallery/api-docs/
