Playbook Executions
There are two ways to view the history of a playbook’s executions: through the Executions overview tab, and from a specific playbook’s details page.
Note
The previous History tab is now named the Executions tab.

The Executions tab displays all executed playbooks.

- Failed — The playbook failed to complete because of an error
- Started — The playbook is currently running
- Timed Out — The playbook either took over 1 hour for a single step to complete, or the entire playbook exceeded the maximum timeout threshold (24 hours)
- Canceled — The playbook was manually canceled before it finished running

Drilling Down into a Failed Playbook
Open a playbook to view a history of its Executions and Failures in a line graph. Adjust the time frame as needed.
Below the Executions and Failures graph is a Playbook History table, which lists a full record of the playbook’s past executions. Select the start time of one of these executions to view its progression. This view helps you drill down into individual steps and identify where a playbook failed to execute.

- From the Playbooks Executions tab or a playbook’s History table, select the executions you would like to cancel using the checkboxes to the left.
