Sequence Counter - History Events - How does counter incrementing work?

@StephenOTT

Is sequence counters used for internal sorting by the rest API? If yes, how do you detect if it was something like parallel gateway vs plain sequence flows?

You can ask the REST API to do that by setting the sorting criterion to occurrence when making a history query.

If yes, how do you detect if it was something like parallel gateway vs plain sequence flows?

Only by considering the BPMN diagram. From the query results alone, you cannot tell that two entries are not comparable.

By the way, you can find some documentation on this here: History and Audit Event Log | docs.camunda.org
