Workflow Stages

The WorkflowLogger tracks these standard workflow stages:

Stage	Step #	Description
`WORKFLOW_START`	0	Workflow initialization
`PROFILE_RETRIEVAL`	1	Client data retrieval
`STATUS_UPDATE`	2	Processing status updates
`DATA_PREPARATION`	3	Input data preparation
`AI_ORCHESTRATION`	4	Core AI processing
`PDF_ENHANCEMENT`	11	Report generation
`STORAGE_PROCESSING`	12	Asset storage
`WORKFLOW_COMPLETE`	99	Workflow completion

Usage Examples

Basic Workflow Tracking

javascript

// Initialize WorkflowLogger
const workflowLogger = new WorkflowLogger(trackingId, env);

// Start workflow
await workflowLogger.logWorkflowStart(8, 'healthcare', 'comprehensive', {
  custom_metadata: 'value'
});

// Track individual steps
await workflowLogger.logStep('executive_summary', 1, 'started');
// ... perform processing ...
await workflowLogger.logStep('executive_summary', 1, 'completed', {
  duration: 2500,
  tokens: 245
});

// Complete workflow
await workflowLogger.logWorkflowComplete(totalTokens, {
  summary: 'Processing completed successfully'
});

Using Step Timers

javascript

// Create and use step timer for automatic duration tracking
const timer = workflowLogger.createStepTimer('ai_analysis', 4);

await timer.start({ 
  model: '@cf/meta/llama-3.1-8b-instruct',
  prompt_length: 1250 
});

// ... perform AI processing ...

await timer.complete({
  tokens_generated: 456,
  quality_score: 0.94
});

Enhanced AdminHandlerRoutes Integration

javascript

// WorkflowLogger is automatically integrated in AdminHandlerRoutes
const response = await AdminHandlerRoutes.executeOrchestrator(request, env, ctx);

// Response includes enhanced format:
{
  "success": true,
  "message": "ENHANCED: Orchestrator execution completed successfully",
  "diagnostic": {
    "enhancedAdminHandlerUsed": true,
    "workflowLoggerActive": true,
    "version": "enhanced-v1.0"
  },
  "workflowTracking": {
    "totalSteps": 12,
    "completedSteps": 12,
    "totalDuration": 32228
  }
}

API Endpoints

Status Monitoring

GET /api/admin/status/{trackingId}

Returns comprehensive workflow status:

json

{
  "success": true,
  "trackingId": "M4A4SSPV",
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "submission": { /* Complete client data */ },
    "logs": [ /* Processing history */ ],
    "processing_metrics": {
      "progress_percentage": 100,
      "completed_steps": 12,
      "total_steps": 12,
      "current_step": null
    },
    "downloadLinks": [ /* Asset URLs */ ]
  }
}

Testing Endpoints

Cloudflare Dashboard Integration

Viewing Logs

Navigate to Cloudflare Dashboard → Workers & Pages → {worker-name}
Click Logs → Real-time Logs
Use these search patterns:

Search Term	Purpose
`WORKFLOW_START`	Find workflow initiations
`WORKFLOW_STEP`	See step-by-step progression
`ENHANCED:`	Find enhanced orchestrator responses
`{trackingId}`	All logs for specific workflow
`executive_summary`	Specific processing steps

Log Structure

Console logs follow this structured format:

json

{
  "message": "🔄 WORKFLOW_4_AI_ORCHESTRATION",
  "level": "INFO",
  "data": {
    "tracking_id": "M4A4SSPV",
    "step_name": "ai_orchestration",
    "step_number": 4,
    "status": "started",
    "metadata": { /* Custom data */ }
  },
  "timestamp": "2025-08-10T23:27:21.307Z"
}

Database Schema

The WorkflowLogger uses the orchestrator_processing_log table:

sql

CREATE TABLE orchestrator_processing_log (
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
  tracking_id TEXT NOT NULL,
  step_name TEXT,
  step_number INTEGER,
  status TEXT NOT NULL,
  duration_ms INTEGER,
  tokens_used INTEGER,
  error_message TEXT,
  metadata TEXT, -- JSON string
  timestamp DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

Schema Migration

If database persistence shows "Failed to persist workflow log", check schema compatibility:

GET /health?schema=check

This endpoint analyzes the current database schema and provides migration recommendations.

Error Handling

The WorkflowLogger implements non-blocking error handling:

Console logging always succeeds (visible in Cloudflare Dashboard)
Database persistence failures are logged but don't interrupt workflow
API responses include diagnostic information about logging status
Graceful degradation ensures main workflow continues even with logging issues

Performance Considerations

Minimal Overhead: Logging operations are optimized for speed
Async Operations: Database writes don't block main workflow
Selective Logging: Only essential steps are tracked by default
Structured Data: JSON format enables efficient searching and filtering

Best Practices

1. Tracking ID Convention

javascript

// Use descriptive, unique tracking IDs
const trackingId = `PROD_${Date.now()}_${clientId.substring(0, 8)}`;

2. Metadata Usage

javascript

// Include relevant context in metadata
await workflowLogger.logStep('ai_analysis', 4, 'completed', {
  duration: processingTime,
  tokens: tokenCount,
  model_used: 'llama-3.1-8b',
  quality_score: 0.95,
  custom_context: {
    industry: 'healthcare',
    complexity: 'high'
  }
});

3. Error Logging

javascript

// Log errors with context
await workflowLogger.logStep('pdf_generation', 11, 'failed', {
  error: error.message,
  error_type: error.constructor.name,
  retry_count: retryAttempt,
  context: 'PDF template processing'
});

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Logs not appearing in Dashboard

Check if WorkflowLogger is properly initialized
Verify tracking ID is being passed correctly
Ensure console logging permissions are enabled

2. Database persistence failing

Run schema check: GET /health?schema=check
Check D1 database binding configuration
Verify table exists and has correct columns

3. Step tracking incomplete

Ensure all steps call both 'started' and 'completed' status
Check for uncaught errors interrupting workflow
Verify step numbers are sequential and unique

Debug Mode

Enable debug mode for additional logging:

javascript

const workflowLogger = new WorkflowLogger(trackingId, env, { debug: true });

Integration with UI

Real-time Progress Tracking

javascript

// Poll status API for real-time updates
const pollStatus = async (trackingId) => {
  const response = await fetch(`/api/admin/status/${trackingId}`);
  const status = await response.json();
  
  // Update UI progress bar
  updateProgress(status.processing_metrics.progress_percentage);
  
  // Show current step
  displayCurrentStep(status.processing_metrics.current_step);
  
  // Handle completion
  if (status.status === 'completed') {
    showDownloadLinks(status.downloadLinks);
  }
};

// Poll every 2 seconds during processing
const interval = setInterval(() => pollStatus(trackingId), 2000);

Error Display

javascript

// Show processing errors to users
if (status.data.logs.some(log => log.error_message)) {
  const errors = status.data.logs
    .filter(log => log.error_message)
    .map(log => ({
      step: log.step_name,
      error: log.error_message,
      timestamp: log.timestamp
    }));
  
  displayErrors(errors);
}
