"Timer Active Task Workflow Task Timeout" metrics

Hi all,

On our self-hosted temporal platform, we are getting a lot of non-zero metrics data points, around 1~2k per minute, generated as task_requests{operation=“TimerActiveTaskWorkflowTaskTimeout”}. Does it indicate high volume of workflow task timeout? We just use the default 10s timeout for workflow task.

Thanks,
Jerry

Does it indicate high volume of workflow task timeout?

Yes, it’s emitted when processing workflow task timeouts.
Can you check and share some of your relevant workflow executions histories where you see WorkflowTaskFailed events?
