Signal External Workflow Returning Unknown External Workflow Execution Error

Hi,

Is there a metric in Temporal Cloud that signals the number of times an activity has failed? I don’t see any activity metrics.

Thanks!

SDK emits activity_execution_failed (counter metric) that you can use.

Yes, definitely. Are there any plans to activity metrics to the server? Depending on the workers to report metrics won’t detect certain failure scenarios (e.g. worker dies and the server records an activity failed because it didn’t heartbeat in time).

Server would record ActivityTaskFailed event in event history if all activity retries are exhausted and deliver it to workflow via workflow task. There is currently not a metric that is emitted when this happens on server side, created issue here.
