Im not super familiar with those systems one question though do they support ingestion via a webhook We could hit their webhook with a paramaterized payload

Else we could have the flow kick off another flow that does this work but that kinda short changes the real value of the observability system as divorced from your infra if theres an infra problem neither will run

Closing the loop here with the 2 8 3 release we ll be leveraging the on failure hook That is we ll have a task which extracts parses flow data and sends to Application Insights as an on failure task <https discourse prefect io t prefect 2 8 3 is here with completion and failure hooks for flows and tasks 2437>
