Monitoring Task Queues

Monitoring task queues is essential for ensuring optimal performance and efficiency in task processing. Task queues hold tasks that are pending execution. By monitoring these queues, you can track key metrics such as the number of tasks waiting, the number of workers polling for tasks, and the time of the last poll. This information helps manage workflow efficiency, identify potential issues, and maintain system reliability.

Viewing Task Queues​

To monitor your task queues:

  1. Navigate to Executions > Queue Monitor from the left menu on your Orkes Conductor cluster.
