Viewing nodes execution details in execution tab

Questions
1

Hi, Is there any way to view what is currently executing in the execution tab instead of seeing “Execution is running. It will show here once finished.”? I would like to be able to actively monitoring which node an execution is currently running instead of waiting for it to finish before checking.

Describe the problem/error/question

Example: Current Execution Tab

I was hoping to be able to view which exact node is currently running (in the execution tab) similar to how a node will show a spinning icon in the editor tab.

Hey @n8n_users !

When you are executing in Test mode, you can see live in Editor tab each node spinning (and in case something fails, it get red and stops if configured).

Cheers!

@Parintele_Damaskin,

Yup, i’m aware that i can see it spinning when in test mode.
But i’m referring to monitoring a real/live traffic (not test mode) in the execution tab instead of the editor tab.

Assuming i’m receiving live traffic for an active workflow, I would like to be able to see which node is currently running in the execution tab.

Currently, you would have to wait till the entire workflow is completed before being able to view the logs/execution information. I would like to be able to view the execution as it is happening for a live traffic.

I don t have an Enterprise Edition access to validate this, but the docs offers something that maybe you are looking for :

Or maybe the Console Logs(bottom right icon) ,… ?
But i think it works only in test… have to try as well to see.

Logs would be useful, but i’m on the community/free edition too.
I’m just interested to see the nodes spinning within the execution tab while a node is processing for an active workflow. This is so that i can see how far along the workflow have executed, similar to the how it shows in the editor tab.
