Domino Flows comes with a comprehensive user experience to monitor flows. This includes an integrated Domino UI, along with access to the native Flyte UI. This document goes through some of the available monitoring experiences.

​
Domino UI

The Domino Flows UI can be accessed by navigating to the Flows page within your Project view. This section documents some of the key experiences that are available on this page.

​
Flow and task list

Upon landing in the Flows UI, you will have access to a list of all the flows that have been registered into the Project. In this view, you can:
  • Keep track of and monitor all the flows in your Project.
  • Click on any of the flows to navigate to the details view for the flow.
  • View the lineage of Flow artifacts attached to a Dataset.
  • Filter between active/archived flows or search for flows by name.
  • Change the number of entries and columns to display in the table.
Flow List Similarly, clicking on the Flow Tasks pivot will navigate you to a similar view but at the task level. This view is an aggregate list of tasks from across all flows registered in this project. Task List

​
Flow and task details

Clicking onto a flow will navigate you to its details view. In this view, you can:
  • Run the flow.
  • Visualize the flow structure by clicking on the Graph pivot.
  • Keep track of and monitor the status of all the runs for that flow.
  • Filter between runs of a specific version or view runs of all versions.
  • Click on any of the runs to navigate to a run details page.
  • Rerun or archive a run by clicking on the overflow button (right side of a row).
  • Filter between active/archived runs or search for runs by name.
  • Change the number of entries and columns to display in the table.
  • Archive the flow (overflow button on the top right corner).
Run List Clicking on a task will navigate you to a similar view but at the task level. Run List

​
Run details

To see more details about a run, click on the relevant run name to access the Run details page. In this view, you can:
  • View a list of all the nodes along with their execution status.
  • Click into a node to view more details about the results.
  • Toggle to a graph view of the run details by clicking on the Graph pivot.
  • Rerun or archive the run by clicking on the overflow button (top right).
Node List

​
Node details

To see more details about a node, click on the relevant node name, either via the Nodes or Graph pivot, to access the Node details panel. In this view, you can:
  • Visualize all the versioned inputs that went into the node. Node Inputs
  • Visualize all the versioned outputs that came out of the node. Node Outputs
  • Access execution details about the node, including a link to the corresponding Domino Job. Node Details
  • Access execution logs. Node Logs
To enable file rendering, you must explicitly specify the file type when you define the input or output. See defining flows for more details.

​
Lineage details

Once you register a Flow Artifact to a Dataset, you can view its lineage through the Details pane. You can trace the lineage path throughout the Dataset by clicking the links at the bottom. View Data Lineage

​
Graph view

Click into the Graph pivot to access a graph view of the execution. This helps validate that the execution flow and dependencies are defined correctly, in addition to narrowing the root cause of errors. Graph View

​
Launch Inputs view

Click into the Launch Inputs pivot to view the list of the flow run’s launch parameters. Clicking into any individual launch input will display the value that was set for that run. Launch Inputs View

​
Flyte UI

The Flyte UI can be accessed directly at https://{DOMINO-URL}/flows/console/select-project. Within the Flyte UI, you can search for a specific Project or directly click into any of the other pages on the left. There are also several entry points from the Domino UI that will take you directly to specific pages in the Flyte experience.
There is a 1:1 mapping between Projects in Flyte and Domino.
Flyte Landing Page The Flyte UI offers many of the same capabilities as the Domino UI but also includes some additional, useful features. This section documents some of the key additional views that can help to monitor flows.
Not all native Flyte capabilities are fully supported, so there may be some actions in the Flyte UI that don’t currently work. Additional capabilities will be enabled during future releases.

​
Timeline view

Click into any execution in the Flyte UI to access a timeline view of the flow. This helps identify execution bottlenecks and to know what the critical execution path is. Timeline View Hovering over tasks in the timeline view will allow you to see an even more granular breakdown. Timeline View - Hover

​
Flyte Output Blob URI’s

The Domino UI renders output files for each task and allows you to download them to your local machine. If you need to access the Flyte blob directly, you can find the URI for each blob in the Flyte UI. Flyte Output Blob URI
