Overview of this book

Alteryx is a GUI-based development platform for data analytic applications. Data Engineering with Alteryx will help you leverage Alteryx’s code-free aspects which increase development speed while still enabling you to make the most of the code-based skills you have. This book will teach you the principles of DataOps and how they can be used with the Alteryx software stack. You’ll build data pipelines with Alteryx Designer and incorporate the error handling and data validation needed for reliable datasets. Next, you’ll take the data pipeline from raw data, transform it into a robust dataset, and publish it to Alteryx Server following a continuous integration process. By the end of this Alteryx book, you’ll be able to build systems for validating datasets, monitoring workflow performance, managing access, and promoting the use of your data sources.

Using the Alteryx Server monitoring workflow

Monitoring your server allows you to identify when workflows run, the workflow success rate, and user access. Alteryx has developed a workflow for extracting this information from MongoDB to start this process. This workflow is not part of the base install, but you can easily add it to your server, which we will learn in the following section.

Accessing and installing the server monitoring workflow

The Alteryx Server monitoring workflow can be found on downloads.alteryx.com. When you get to the Downloads page, navigate to the Alteryx Server page for your server version. For example, in the following screenshot, the current version download page has been selected:

As shown in the screenshot, there is a zip file called AlterxyServerUsageReport.zip. This file contains an example workflow and the macros required to extract...
