CloudFlow:View metrics and configure alert rules

Last Updated:Mar 11, 2026

After a workflow is executed, you can view the metrics about the workflow in the CloudFlow console or in the CloudMonitor console. You can also configure alert rules to monitor the statuses of the workflow. For example, you can configure an alert rule that sends an alert to the alert contact group when a workflow fails up to a specific number of times or exceeds a performance threshold. This topic describes how to view metrics and configure alert rules.

Configure alert rules
