Monitor connectivity

Monitor your data connection workflows to track progress, verify successful execution, and identify any failures that need attention.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • Access to the Workflow center in Atlan
  • At least one configured data connection
  • Appropriate permissions to view workflow runs

Access workflow monitoring​

Monitor your workflow runs in real-time or review historical executions.

  1. Navigate to the workflow monitoring page:

    • During execution: You're automatically redirected within 5 seconds
    • Any other time: Click Workflows from the left menu

  2. Find your specific workflow run:

    • Use the date filter (defaults to last 24 hours)
    • Filter by status (Running, Success, Failed)
    • Search by workflow name or connector type

  3. Click the workflow run to open the monitoring view.

Review workflow execution​

The monitoring interface depends on your connector type. Standard connectors (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks) provide enhanced monitoring with AI features, while custom connectors use DAG-based visualization.

  1. View the process graph showing Setup → Extract → Transform → Publish steps.
  2. Hover over each step to see:
    • Start and finish times
    • Elapsed duration
    • Total assets extracted, transformed, updated, and archived
  3. Toggle between Hour and Day views using the graph toggle.
  4. Check the Summary tab on the left for:
    • Current workflow status
    • Overall start and finish times
    • Total elapsed time
    • Trigger information (who triggered it and how)

Identify failures​

Atlan makes it simple to understand and resolve issues when a workflow fails.

  1. Open the failed workflow run.
  2. Click View Failed tasks in the Summary tab.
  3. Navigate to the Failed Tasks tab to review specific failures.

When a workflow fails, you get:

  • Failure visualization: The exact step where the error occurred is highlighted
  • AI-analyzed errors: Complex system errors translated into clear, human-friendly explanations
  • Guided troubleshooting: Step-by-step AI suggestions to resolve issues faster
  • Proactive recommendations: Early flagging of possible misconfigurations or permission issues

If AI workflow analysis encounters an error, you can retry the analysis or reach out to Atlan Support.

Access error logs​

View detailed logs for troubleshooting workflow failures.

  1. Click View Error Log to see detailed logs for the failed run.
  2. Logs are displayed directly in the workflow monitoring view for quick access.
  3. If unable to resolve, click Contact Atlan Support to raise a ticket directly from the interface.
