Missing Execution Logs

Describe the problem/error/question

Hello.

I am self-hosting on Digital Ocean and have a considerable amount of traffic for my workflow. I have a CRM integration with n8n using a webhook that gets triggered whenever I receive a message from a client.

I’ve had multiple instances where my workflow seems to have half executed. Part of the workflow (like moving a client to a pipeline in my CRM) executes correctly, but the rest doesn’t. When I check the execution data (settings are set to save everything be default), that specific execution is completely missing. This happens randomly every once in the blue, but usually all my execution logs are saved correctly.

This has happened before where something goes wrong in the workflow but there is simply no record of that execution happening.

Could anyone point me to more information on how the execution logs get saved, where, for how long, etc., and why I might be experiencing this problem?

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.51.2
  • Database (default: SQLite): default
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): default
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker

The best option is to use an Error trigger and save error executions somewhere (e.g. email, db, file, etc). You can set the error workflow for any workflow in the wf settings. By default, n8n will keep the last 10k of executions or executions for the last 2 weeks (what happens sooner)
