# Observability and Monitoring

Arcee Orchestra provides real time workflow execution monitoring as well as execution history to view previous workflow executions.

### Real-Time Monitoring

When you run a workflow in the Orchestra UI, you are given a real-time visual of the workflow executing. This shows you:

1. Which step the workflow is currently running
2. How long it takes each step to execute
3. The input and output of each step
4. If any errors occur, which step the error occurs at

The real-time monitoring not only helps when initially building workflows, but also for optimizing them. For example, using the node execution time you can see the impact of using different sized SLMs/LLMs for specific tasks. View the output to decide if a smaller model provides the level of accuracy you need with the advantage of faster execution time and cheaper cost.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.arcee.ai/arcee-orchestra/workflows/observability-and-monitoring.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
