Orchestration Monitor overview

The Orchestration Monitor gives you granular control over your plan, enabling you to take direct action over every item.

The Orchestration Monitor is a UI section that functions like a control hub that oversees all of your workload associated with a specific engine. From there, you can monitor:
  • Workstations
  • Workflows
  • Tasks
  • Event sources
  • Resources
Queries
You can use queries to search for specific items, and from there you can take direct control by performing manually a range of actions, depending on which item you have queried. Queries can also be saved and shared with other users or groups, to speed up your monitoring operations.
Tree view
The tree view enables workload monitoring through the folders that contain the items in the plan. The tree view is updated in real time, always showing the up to date folder system that contains the monitored items.
Dependencies
The Dependencies action shows all the dependencies of tasks and workflows displayed graphically as a tile system. Dependencies can be manually released or edited for the tasks and workflows in the plan.
Operator instructions
When monitoring tasks and workflows, operators can access the Operator instructions panel from the More actions menu to retrieve definition information from the Description and Documentation fields. The availability of this information within the Orchestration Monitor facilitates rapid comprehension of task or workflow parameters during monitoring activities.
The Operator instructions panel displays definition information based on the selected item. For a workflow, the panel presents the content of the Description and Documentation fields from the workflow definition. For a task, the panel displays three sections:
Workflow
Displays the Description and Documentation fields of the workflow to which the selected task instance belongs.
Task instance
Displays the Description and Documentation fields of the selected task instance.
Task definition
Displays the Description field of the task definition referenced by the selected job instance.
