Is there any dashboard/section that shows/monitors the infrastructure health/workload? That would be very useful to help out with the Prefect Orion infrastructure configuration/tuning.

Hi everyone - we are working on the Prefect UI navigation and need your help! If you have 5 minutes free in the next week, please consider participating in our short research activity https://study.kardsort.com/prefect-navigation. We’re looking for your perspective to help make Prefect better. Thank you!

Hi all, is there a way to run list of flows (say from a csv file) in prefect UI?

I know the feature is still in beta but in the timeline visual at the top, shouldn't the names match my subflow nicknames? Additionally, is it possible to make it the subflow names themselves as opposed to the random nicknames?

Hello everybody. We're in the process of integrating Prefect as part of a project in a microservice arch. We usually have a personalized frontend served with Nginx and all the other services available at subpaths, say '/api' or '/analytics'. Thing is, we want to serve Prefect Orion UI at '/prefect', but we haven't found the way to do it. We usually configure a proxy pass to the microservice container like this:

location /prefect {
	resolver 127.0.0.11 valid=10s;
	set $upstream_prefect orion;
	proxy_pass http://$upstream_prefect:4200;
}

and let the microservice know that it is being accessed through a subpath using an environment variable.

Hi there, What is the Anonymous Block (which does not exist in Blocks) in the latest migration of Slack/email notifications to Automations?

Hey everyone! I noticed that the new UI feels very unresponsive and clunky when using any search bar. It seems to overwrite whatever I'm typing and doesn't wait for me. I am wondering if it's just me or if someone else has this issue too.

Hi all, any way to easily change the Orion sidebar background color? I’d really like to have different colors for dev/staging/production ( yes, they’re different servers… strict separation reduces dumb mistakes ). something like PREFECT_ORION_UI_SIDEBAR_BACKGROUND_COLOR would be fantastic. :)

Hi all, I cannot find how to do a few simple things in prefect that feel like they should be super intuitive. I have a work queue in prefect 2.7.8, and I would like to clear all flow history. Or at the very least, all currently queued flows. Can anyone help with this? Ideally I do not want to delete the queue and remake it under a different name, but that seems to be the only way I have found so far.

Hi Community, is there a way to download the logs of an flow? Or search the logs for specific words?

Hey all! I’m having some 2.0 UI issues with a flow which has 3600 tasks in it… essentially I get about 10-15s on the page before it totally crashes and I have to close the tab. I have a suspicion it might be the gantt graph (beta) at the top (even though I love the feature!!). Wondering if you’ve experienced this with a large number of tasks, and if there’s anything I can do? If it is the flow timeline, can I opt-out for our enterprise acct as a test to see if it helps? • Setup: prefect 3.7.9, enterprise. • One example flow run here. Thanks!

Hey! Is there any way to download logs to .txt or send them to my own database directly at the moment with Prefect 2.0 Cloud? I found this (from this prefect-ui channel) https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/7378 And this about storing logs (when you host own prefect) https://docs.prefect.io/concepts/database/ Whenever I try CTRL+F it won't search the whole logging pane under task run (attached screenshot) as it is quite a long log. Scrolling through to find the error isn't a solution too.

hi Prefect - another question I had relating to this https://discourse.prefect.io/t/define-task-name-dynamically/1862 - i remember in prefect 1 it was easy to set custom task + flow names based on input parameters, but I haven't been able to get this to work in prefect 2, are there any plans to address this, or have I missed something already implemented? Thanks

Hi all! Can I see logs from older versions of my prefect flows, or are those lost forever when I redeploy the flow?

Hi prefect, have question. I logged in into prefect cloud in my pc. When i want to try prefect orion using "prefect orion start" in my command i have an error "Can't connect to Orion API at https://api.prefect.cloud/api/accounts/f51bf45b-69dc-4eb7-8abf-cf15de62957d/workspaces/2c3d9902-9ad6-456c-baf7-6c0674c919a3. Check that it's accessible from your machine." Is there any solution?

Hello! There was a very useful function in the Prefect 1 UI where you can copy input parameters directly in json format into a GUI object before executing a custom run. In Prefect 2, it looks like there is only an option to enter input into fixed text boxes. This is pretty cumbersome if you’re dealing with a large number of parameters with only some requiring minor tweaks. Am I missing some functionality in the GUI to be able to do this, or is there a roadmap item to add this (or is it ok to submit a feature request for this if not)?

In the Prefect 2 UI, is there an option to retry the flow run from the beginning (e.g. retry all tasks regardless of state)?

Wishlist for timeline view: can there be a reset button, that automatically resets the view to the size that fits all elements shown?

hi guys, i just updated to 2.7.10, i noticed that the color schema at the Block edit page changed to this, i find it not really readable… is it just me?

Hi, Should the all logs from all "Task Runs" show up in the Flow Runs' Logs? I noticed that it can happen that logs in a Task Run doesn't show under the Log tab for the Flow Run.

hi Prefect, quick question about github PATs - I would like to run agents on-prem, and to read from a github storage block that is also on-prem (github enterprise). However, I would like to use cloud prefect for scheduling. Firstly, if I have understood, code is never sent via prefect cloud, but directly from the storage block to the agent, is this correct? Secondly, Is it safe for me to place a github PAT in prefect cloud? I've tried to find documentation on this but haven't seen much so far. Thank you

Hi - I'm sure this is something simple, but I cannot get the Orion server to bind to any other interface but 127.0.0.1 (and I'm setting it up on a remote server, so I cannot access it via

localhost

). I've tried to set

PREFECT_API_URL

to

http://<ipv4 address>:4200/api

using the command

prefect config set

but when the Orion server starts it still says 127.0.0.1. I've also tried setting

PREFECT_ORION_UI_API_URL

and

PREFECT_UI_URL

. I see the correct IP addresses in the

~/.prefect/profiles.toml

file, but regardless when I run

prefect orion start

all the addresses are 127.0.0.1. This is on Linux/Ubuntu.

Hello, Can we choose in Prefect UI Timeline without connections? Like it was before in beta version It’s too slow, we cannot use it (the same problem with Orion graph) :

I’d think the Documentation link in the upper right here would have a

target="_blank"

attribute so it would open in a new tab so you don’t lose your edits to an automation. But maybe that’s just me

I often have a long list of parameters to my jobs, it would be great if the parameters input textbox (in the custom flow run dialogue) was higher or could expand. For really big inputs it makes sense to copy it out to an external editor, but for instance doubling the height would make a big difference in most cases.

AFAIK there’s no way to link to specific lines in logs from a flow run in app.prefect.cloud. Is this feature in the works? Out of scope?

Hey guys. is it possible to run more than 1 instance of orion at the same time? I mean we have 200 agents and ppl using prefect UI really often and it is running slow, Orion DB is very efficient so this is not the bottleneck. Do you think we can add more instances of orion without sideeffects?

I am unable to install prefect in windows . It is throwing the error: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\Bhnimda\\AppData\\Local\\Packages\\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\\LocalCache\\local-packages\\Python310\\site-packages\\prefect\\orion\\database\\migrations\\versions\\postgresql\\2022_04_23_132803_d38c5e6a9115_rename_block_to_blockbasis_and_.py'
