CloudFlow can be integrated with CloudMonitor. This topic describes how to view metrics and configure alerts of Serverless Workflow after CloudFlow is integrated with CloudMonitor.
View metrics
The CloudMonitor console provides two methods to allow you to view the metrics of a workflow. You can select an appropriate method based on your business requirements.

Select the type, region, and name of the resource that you want to view.
Method 2: Custom Dashboard
