Monitoring
Continuous observation of automation performance, error rates, and uptime. PURIST monitors every deployed workflow in real-time alerting before a failure impacts your clients or operations.
Expert insight
Monitoring an automation system means watching two different things: whether the workflow ran (uptime) and whether it did the right thing (correctness). A workflow can have 100% uptime while silently processing every record incorrectly because of a bad field mapping, uptime monitoring alone gives false confidence.
In a real workflow
Each production workflow reports failures and run counts to a dashboard, with an alert when daily runs drop to zero.
Common mistakes
- Monitoring errors but not the absence of runs.
- Sending all alerts to one person.
Complexity level
Requires some familiarity with automation concepts.
