Debug playbooks in

If you're having problems with your playbook and need to troubleshoot issues, run your playbook using the debugger.

To run your playbook using the debugger, the playbook must meet the following conditions:

  • The playbook must be saved. Playbooks in edit mode can't be debugged.
  • The playbook cannot be marked active.
  • The playbook must have an event to run against. If there are dependencies on any artifacts as part of the event, the artifacts must also be present and must not have been previously used by this same version of the playbook.

You can access the playbook debugger using one of the following methods:

Set Scope to define which artifacts are processed in the playbook run. You can set the scope to New Artifacts to process only artifacts defined since the playbook was last run, or All Artifacts to include all artifacts in the playbook run.

Each line in the debug content starts with a date time stamp. Log entries show which action is running. The parameter sent and message it received are logged. The API call to on_finish represents a call to the End block. The playbook completes by logging a SUCCESS status.
