Agent Framework Workflow

Agent Framework - Workflow Overview

Comprehensive monitoring dashboard for Microsoft Agent Framework Workflows, tracking workflow executions, executor performance, visual workflow graphs, and detailed trace analysis. Monitor your multi-agent workflows’ health, execution paths, success rates, and identify bottlenecks in real-time.

🔄 What are Agent Framework Workflows?

Microsoft Agent Framework Workflows provide a structured way to orchestrate complex, multi-step processes involving multiple AI agents, functions, and external systems. Unlike single AI agents that work autonomously, workflows give you explicit control over execution paths through a graph-based architecture.

Workflows are designed to handle tasks that are too complex for a single agent, offering:

• Modularity: Break down processes into reusable components
• Agent Integration: Orchestrate multiple AI agents with non-agentic functions
• Type Safety: Strong typing ensures correct message flow between components
• Flexible Flow: Graph-based executors with conditional routing and parallel processing
• Checkpointing: Save and resume long-running processes
• Human-in-the-Loop: Built-in request/response patterns for external integration

🎯 Why This Dashboard?

When building multi-agent workflows that coordinate multiple AI agents and functions, you need visibility into:

• Execution Health: Are your workflows completing successfully?
• Performance: Where are the bottlenecks in your execution graph?
• Executor Behavior: Which executors are taking the longest? Which ones fail most often?
• Workflow Structure: How are your executors connected? What’s the execution flow?
• Debugging: What happened in failed workflow runs?

This dashboard answers all these questions and more—with interactive visualizations and real-time metrics.
