Observability: Logs, Search Attributes, and Replay Noise

When to use

Use when the user asks:

• •“how do I trace/debug this workflow?”
• •“how do I make executions searchable in the UI?”
• •“why are logs duplicated/noisy during replay?”

Required output

• •What to log in activities vs what to avoid in workflow
• •Search attribute strategy (what to index; cardinality cautions)
• •Practical debugging steps: what to look for in history vs logs

Guardrails

• •Do not suppress real errors; distinguish replay-only noise carefully.
