Query Processor

A system task for executing queries across different systems, tailored for purposes like alert generation.

Conductor supports the ability to query the following sources:

• Conductor Search API
  • This query type can be used for querying information from the Conductor Search API. It allows users to retrieve workflow-related data based on various parameters.
• Conductor Metrics (Prometheus)
  • This query type facilitates querying Conductor Metrics using Prometheus. It enables users to gather and analyze performance metrics and system statistics.

Definitions

{
     "name": "query_processor",
     "taskReferenceName": "query_processor_ref",
     "inputParameters": {
       "queryType": "CONDUCTOR_API",
       "statuses": "${workflow.input.statuses}",
       "workflowNames": "${workflow.input.workflows}",
       "startTimeFrom": "${workflow.input.fromStartedMinsFromNow}",
       "startTimeTo": "${workflow.input.toStartedMinsFromNow}",

       "freeText": "${workflow.input.freeText}"
     },
     "type": "QUERY_PROCESSOR",
}

Input Parameters

Attributes	Description
queryType	Choose the query type. It can take the following values: CONDUCTOR_API METRICS

Depending on the chosen query method, the configuration parameters vary. If CONDUCTOR_API is chosen, then provide the following parameters:

Attributes	Description
workflowNames	Provide the workflow names for the query.
correlationIds	Provide the correlation ID of the workflows to be queried.
statuses	Provide the statuses of the workflows to be queried.
startTimeFrom	Specify the time range for the query to be performed.
startTimeTo	Specify the time range for the query to be performed.
freeText	Specify the free text search parameter.

If the query type is chosen as METRICS, then the task definition is as follows:

{
     "name": "query_processor",
     "taskReferenceName": "query_processor_ref",
     "inputParameters": {
       "metricsQuery": "",
       "metricsStart": "",
       "metricsEnd": "",
       "metricsStep": "",
       "queryType": "METRICS"
     },
     "type": "QUERY_PROCESSOR",
}

Attributes	Description
metricsQuery	Indicates the Prometheus query.
metricsStart	Specifies the start time for the metrics query.
metricsEnd	Specifies the end time for the metrics query.
metricsStep	Defines a step or interval of the metrics query.

Output Parameters

Attributes	Description
workflowsUrl	A link to the queried workflow executions in Conductor UI.
