Agent activity

Agent activity allows you to monitor all interactions with your AI agents across different channels. It provides a centralized view of requests, tool executions, their statuses, and the specific operations triggered by your agents.

Accessing activity

You can find the Activity section in the side navigation of your Budibase builder workspace. This view is available for all applications containing agents and provides a history of agent actions and automation runs in both your development and production environments.

Activity tabs

The Activity section is divided into two primary tabs:

• Requests: Tracks high-level agent conversations and requests, providing context for each interaction.
• Actions: Provides a granular history of individual execution steps and events triggered by both agents and automations.

Monitoring actions

The Activity page displays a list of recent items. Each entry includes critical operational metadata:

• Type: Indicates whether the entry is an Agent request or an Automation run.
• Asset: The specific agent or automation involved.
• Triggered by: Provides attribution for who or what initiated the action (e.g., a specific User, a Schedule, or a Webhook).
• Status: Shows the current state of the request or action.
• Updated: A relative timestamp showing when the item was last active.

Metrics overview

At the top of the Activity page, summary metrics provide a high-level view of performance:

• All actions: The total number of tracked interactions.
• Completed: Items that successfully finished processing.
• Active: Items currently being handled (previously labeled as Processing).
• Waiting: Items currently paused or awaiting human intervention (e.g., approvals or escalations).
• Failed: Items that encountered errors during execution.

Filtering

You can filter the activity list by:

• Status: View only items with a specific status (e.g., Failed or Waiting).
• Environment: Switch between Production and Development history to debug app logic before publishing.

Details and timeline

Clicking on any item in the table opens a side panel with detailed information and an interaction timeline.

Details

The details section provides granular data about a specific interaction:

• Status: The final or current status of the interaction.
• Type: The source type (Agent or Automation).
• Asset: The specific name of the agent or automation at the time of execution.
• Triggered by: Detailed attribution including the user name, system trigger, or schedule.
• Environment: Whether the action occurred in the Production or Development environment.
• Actions: The number of individual events recorded within this session.
• Started at: The exact timestamp of the initial execution.

Timeline

The timeline tracks the lifecycle of an item, from its creation through various operation stages. This is useful for debugging multi-step interactions or verifying that the correct logic was executed in response to a trigger.

If an operation fails, the timeline provides detailed error feedback to help you understand what went wrong during execution.
