• Resume - resume the execution (available only for cancelled or failed executions)
• Cancel - cancels the execution (available only for active executions),
• Force Cancel - enforces cancellation of the execution (available only for active executions),
• Kill Cancel - the process executing the workflow is forcefully stopped, even if it is stuck or unresponsive.

For details about cancelling executions, see cancelling workflow executions

Execution task graph

Workflow defines tasks that can be executed on a node or a group of nodes. Most workflows are implemented with a tasks graph. When the workflow is being executed, the state of the tasks graph, and each operation in it, is persisted to storage. When the workflow is resumed, the tasks graph is reconstructed, and the execution continues.

See Workflow Execution Model for deeper understanding of how executions and task graphs are designed.

Visualization modes

Visualization of the workflow execution task graph can be displayed in Executions widget in two ways depending on Show most recent execution only parameter value (see Settings for details):

• Off - default view (Executions list) - after selecting an execution by clicking its row in the table a corresponding task graph is displayed

• On - single execution view - the last execution for the selected deployment is displayed

Task state

Each graph node represents a task that is part of the execution. Each node is colored depending on task state:

• White - pending
• Yellow - executing
• Green - completed
• Red - failed

Actions

In the upper right corner you can see a toolbar:

By clicking icons from the toolbar you can:

• Enter Play mode in which the view tracks the progress by following tasks in progress
• Fit to view to display entire graph inside widget borders
• Open in window to display graph in modal view with miniature view for extremely large workflows

A task node may contain an icon in the bottom right corner:

It allows you to automatically set an operation in Events/Log Filter widget related to that task and filter logs in Events/Logs widget to display only those which are relevant for the selected task.
