A practical example
Example: renewal-trigger emails stop firing; run history shows zero executions since a specific Tuesday, narrowing the incident to a change deployed that morning.
What to evaluate before investing
- Ask how far back executions are retained on your plan and what extra retention costs.
- Verify you can filter and aggregate runs by status, date, and workflow, not just view them one by one.
- Check whether error details are retained at the same depth as successful runs.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Deep retention consumes storage and some vendors truncate error payloads first, so the history you need for incident reconstruction may not survive as long as the headline retention figure suggests.
