Provide metric to track number (gauge) of running executions #336

Open dhiaayachi opened 3 weeks ago

dhiaayachi commented 3 weeks ago

Question on how to get number of running executions outside of visibility keeps coming up. Would be nice to have a service metric (gauge) on number of running executions instead of just completion counters.

Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestion! We appreciate the feedback.

While we don't have a service metric for the number of running executions currently, you can obtain this information using Temporal's visibility API.

Alternatively, you can use the ListWorkflowExecutions method with a WorkflowTypeFilter to query for all running executions of a specific workflow type.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thank you for your suggestion! We appreciate your feedback and understand the need for a metric on the number of running executions.

While we don't currently have a built-in metric for that, you can achieve similar functionality by implementing a custom workflow that tracks running executions using a counter and updating it within your workflow logic.

You can find more information on custom workflows and counters in our documentation: https://docs.temporal.io/
