# Metrics and analytics

Last updated Aug 24, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/workflows/observability/metrics-analytics/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

Workflows expose metrics that allow you to inspect and measure Workflow execution, error rates, steps, and total duration across each (and all) of your Workflows.

The metrics displayed in the [Cloudflare dashboard ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/) charts are queried from Cloudflare’s [GraphQL Analytics API](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/graphql-api/). You can access the metrics [programmatically](#query-via-the-graphql-api) via GraphQL or HTTP client.

## Metrics

Workflows currently export the below metrics within the `workflowsAdaptiveGroups` GraphQL dataset.

| Metric             | GraphQL Field Name | Description                                                                                                                |
| ------------------ | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Read Queries (qps) | readQueries        | The number of read queries issued against a database. This is the raw number of read queries, and is not used for billing. |

Metrics can be queried (and are retained) for the past 31 days.

### Labels and dimensions

The `workflowsAdaptiveGroups` dataset provides the following dimensions for filtering and grouping query results:

* `workflowName` \- Workflow name - e.g. `my-workflow`
* `instanceId` \- Instance ID
* `stepName` \- Step name
* `eventType` \- Event type (see [event types](#event-types))
* `stepCount` \- Step number within a given instance
* `date` \- The date when the Workflow was triggered
* `datetimeFifteenMinutes` \- The date and time truncated to fifteen minutes
* `datetimeFiveMinutes` \- The date and time truncated to five minutes
* `datetimeHour` \- The date and time truncated to the hour
* `datetimeMinute` \- The date and time truncated to the minute

### Event types

The `eventType` metric allows you to filter (or groupBy) Workflows and steps based on their last observed status.

The possible values for `eventType` are documented below:

#### Workflows-level status labels

* `WORKFLOW_QUEUED` \- the Workflow is queued, but not currently running. This can happen when you are at the [concurrency limit](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/workflows/reference/limits/) and new instances are waiting for currently running instances to complete.
* `WORKFLOW_START` \- the Workflow has started and is running.
* `WORKFLOW_SUCCESS` \- the Workflow finished without errors.
* `WORKFLOW_FAILURE` \- the Workflow failed due to errors (exhausting retries, errors thrown, etc).
* `WORKFLOW_TERMINATED` \- the Workflow was explicitly terminated.
* `ROLLBACK_START` \- the Workflow began executing registered rollback handlers.
* `ROLLBACK_COMPLETE` \- all rollback handlers that were run completed successfully.
* `ROLLBACK_FAILED` \- a rollback handler failed and rollback did not finish cleanly.

#### Step-level status labels

* `STEP_START` \- the step has started and is running.
* `STEP_SUCCESS` \- the step finished without errors.
* `STEP_FAILURE` \- the step failed due to an error.
* `SLEEP_START` \- the step is sleeping.
* `SLEEP_COMPLETE` \- the step last finished sleeping.
* `ATTEMPT_START` \- a step is retrying.
* `ATTEMPT_SUCCESS` \- the retry succeeded.
* `ATTEMPT_FAILURE` \- the retry attempt failed.
* `ROLLBACK_STEP_START` \- a rollback handler started running.
* `ROLLBACK_STEP_SUCCESS` \- a rollback handler finished successfully.
* `ROLLBACK_STEP_FAILURE` \- a rollback handler failed.
* `ROLLBACK_ATTEMPT_START` \- a rollback retry attempt started.
* `ROLLBACK_ATTEMPT_SUCCESS` \- a rollback retry attempt succeeded.
* `ROLLBACK_ATTEMPT_FAILURE` \- a rollback retry attempt failed.

Rollback events let you distinguish forward execution failures from compensation failures when you are querying Workflow health or debugging instance timelines.

## View metrics in the dashboard

Per-Workflow and instance analytics for Workflows are available in the Cloudflare dashboard. To view current and historical metrics for a database:

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the **Workflows** page.  
[Go to **Workflows** ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/workers/workflows)
2. Select a Workflow to view its metrics.

You can optionally select a time window to query. This defaults to the last 24 hours.

## Query via the GraphQL API

You can programmatically query analytics for your Workflows via the [GraphQL Analytics API](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/graphql-api/). This API queries the same datasets as the Cloudflare dashboard, and supports GraphQL [introspection](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/graphql-api/features/discovery/introspection/).

Workflows GraphQL datasets require an `accountTag` filter with your Cloudflare account ID, and includes the `workflowsAdaptiveGroups` dataset.

### Examples

To query the count (number of workflow invocations) and sum of `wallTime` for a given `$workflowName` between `$datetimeStart` and `$datetimeEnd`, grouping by `date`:

```graphql
query WorkflowInvocationsExample(
	$accountTag: string!
	$datetimeStart: Time
	$datetimeEnd: Time
	$workflowName: string
) {
	viewer {
		accounts(filter: { accountTag: $accountTag }) {
			wallTime: workflowsAdaptiveGroups(
				limit: 10000
				filter: {
					datetimeHour_geq: $datetimeStart
					datetimeHour_leq: $datetimeEnd
					workflowName: $workflowName
				}
				orderBy: [count_DESC]
			) {
				count
				sum {
					wallTime
				}
				dimensions {
					date: datetimeHour
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
```

Here we are doing the same for `wallTime`, `instanceRuns` and `stepCount` in the same query:

```graphql
query WorkflowInvocationsExample2(
	$accountTag: string!
	$datetimeStart: Time
	$datetimeEnd: Time
	$workflowName: string
) {
	viewer {
		accounts(filter: { accountTag: $accountTag }) {
			instanceRuns: workflowsAdaptiveGroups(
				limit: 10000
				filter: {
					datetimeHour_geq: $datetimeStart
					datetimeHour_leq: $datetimeEnd
					workflowName: $workflowName
					eventType: "WORKFLOW_START"
				}
				orderBy: [count_DESC]
			) {
				count
				dimensions {
					date: datetimeHour
				}
			}
			stepCount: workflowsAdaptiveGroups(
				limit: 10000
				filter: {
					datetimeHour_geq: $datetimeStart
					datetimeHour_leq: $datetimeEnd
					workflowName: $workflowName
					eventType: "WORKFLOW_START"
				}
				orderBy: [count_DESC]
			) {
				count
				dimensions {
					date: datetimeHour
				}
			}
			wallTime: workflowsAdaptiveGroups(
				limit: 10000
				filter: {
					datetimeHour_geq: $datetimeStart
					datetimeHour_leq: $datetimeEnd
					workflowName: $workflowName
				}
				orderBy: [count_DESC]
			) {
				count
				sum {
					wallTime
				}
				dimensions {
					date: datetimeHour
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
```

Here lets query `workflowsAdaptive` for raw data about `$instanceId` between `$datetimeStart` and `$datetimeEnd`:

```graphql
query WorkflowsAdaptiveExample(
	$accountTag: string!
	$datetimeStart: Time
	$datetimeEnd: Time
	$instanceId: string
) {
	viewer {
		accounts(filter: { accountTag: $accountTag }) {
			workflowsAdaptive(
				limit: 100
				filter: {
					datetime_geq: $datetimeStart
					datetime_leq: $datetimeEnd
					instanceId: $instanceId
				}
				orderBy: [datetime_ASC]
			) {
				datetime
				eventType
				workflowName
				instanceId
				stepCount
				wallTime
			}
		}
	}
}
```

#### GraphQL query variables

Example values for the query variables:

```json
{
	"accountTag": "fedfa729a5b0ecfd623bca1f9000f0a22",
	"datetimeStart": "2024-10-20T00:00:00Z",
	"datetimeEnd": "2024-10-29T00:00:00Z",
	"workflowName": "shoppingCart",
	"instanceId": "ecc48200-11c4-22a3-b05f-88a3c1c1db81"
}
```
