External Task Failure

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions
1

In our process, when there is a technical error occurred, for example unable to reach some URL to perform task, we would do POST /external-task/{id}/failure to the engine and do retries indefinitely until the task goes off successfully. The error message that we sent on the POST request body is useful for us and we want to make it available, how can we make this information available via cockpit, in example.

Thanks.

When you report a failure, an incident will be create which will be visible in Cockpit.
This incident contains the message as incident message.
Does this help you?
