Monitor flow activity from an external system

Once flows are deployed, use the information in this section to decide how to integrate the flow runtime and flows statuses into an external monitoring solution.

General information

A flow runtime offers a local API interface which extracts information about the flow runtime, flows, and modules.

Documentation about this API is integrated into the flow runtime. The API is exposed to port 9191 (default) for both Windows and Docker installations. Access the flow runtime's local API and documentation via port 9191.

Things to try

• Check the endpoints and think about what information you would like to extract.

• You can use the exposed Web UI to run API commands immediately to see how it works.

The topics that follow cover how to configure a system to programmatically see event information.
