Monitoring & debugging

Tracing, workflow case inspection, logging and common failure patterns when debugging SailPoint IdentityIQ workflows.

Quick answer

Tracing, workflow case inspection, logging and common failure patterns when debugging SailPoint IdentityIQ workflows.

Key takeaways
  • Inspect the WorkflowCase for variables, step and errors
  • Enable trace and targeted logging to see execution
  • Watch for stuck approvals and script exceptions
  • Fix root causes, do not just clear stuck cases

Workflow cases

Every run creates a WorkflowCase you can inspect to see variables, the current step and any errors. It is the first place to look when something stalls.

Trace and logging

Enabling trace prints the step-by-step execution to the log. Targeted log4j settings on the workflow packages reveal script errors and transition decisions.

Common failures

Stuck approvals, unresolved approvers, script exceptions and provisioning-plan errors are the usual causes. Read the case and the log together.

Cleaning up

Terminate or restart stuck cases from the console, and fix the root cause (an approver rule or a script) rather than just clearing symptoms.
