As a developer and maintainer of a fleet of projects and sites for my company, it would be beneficial for me to have improved the monitoring capabilities of CDF Functions. As of now, diverting the function monitoring dataflow through a new function and then to an extraction pipeline is cumbersome. For some functions we have, it is the end user that ends up notifying when the data is wrong.

Having an easy overview is difficult, as the UI in CDF shows only the latest call status on the frontpage. One of our projects has around 50 functions running. Having a good overview is not easy. It is only when you click into the function calls you may be able to se some more data. Navigating here from a notification from an extraction pipeline is time consuming.

An optimal solution would be to have an inherent monitoring metrics in the CDF functions, as well as notification capabilities, as are in the extraction pipelines. It would enable us to monitor all calls on a dashboard. Having the ability to dashboard function call statuses on all functions that I’m supporting would relieve a headache.

Hi ​@HenrikBr, apologies for tbhe late response. The recommended approach is to use Data Workflows to orchestrate and monitor function calls. We’re continuously improving the UI and monitoring capabiliteis of workflows, and recently released email notification support and several improvements to the Run History UI.

How much of the need described above would be solved by adopting workflows with its improved monitoring interfaces and email notifications?  

In future releases we might add more dashboard type monitoring overviews for workflow executions.
