Release date: 2023-12-20
With this release we introduce a completely new Monitor tool, that replaces the previous Dashboard and Events pages. The user interface has been redesigned from scratch and the new tool has four sub-pages:
Overview - Gives you an overview over the current status of all your Nodes and deployed Flows. Quickly find production Nodes that have gone offline, or Flows that have stopped due to errors. From here you can then navigate to more detailed views.
Flows - See the status of all your deployed Flows. Filter on state/status as well as the type of Node running the flow to quickly find the most important issues. Take actions on your deployed Flows, like restart or sync after parameter changes.
Nodes - See the status of all your Nodes. Filter on severity level and type of Node.
Events - All events reported from Flows/Nodes as well as from the Control Center. Filter on severity level as well as the type of event.
For all Events, Flows and Nodes you can open up more detailed views in separate pop-up windows. Here you will find more information, but you can also take actions, like synchronizing a Flow when parameters have been changed, or restarting a Flow that has stopped due to an error.
The detailed views also have cross-references whenever it makes sense. When looking at an event reported by a Node you can easily open up the detailed view for that Node, or if a Flow has reported an error and you want to see what this Flow is doing you just open it in the Flow Studio.
When looking at your Flows you may now see error/warning counts for each item. This is to give you a quick way of finding what to focus on. A Flow might be ok at the moment but something happened a while ago that produced a lot of errors. If there are a lot of events in the events log it might be easy to miss these events, but with the error counters it’s easy to see that something has happened that might require your attention. These counters can be reset at any time, e.g. when you have investigated the problem.
For a quick introduction to the new Monitor tool, take a look at this video.
To accompany the new Monitor tool there is a new version of the Node.
Note - To get the full benefits of the new Monitor tool you must upgrade your Nodes to the latest version. Features like per Flow information and resetting error/warning counters only work with the new version.
[Fix] Flow versions with long descriptions extend outside the list on the Flows page.
