Activity Feed
Learn about Activity Feed in WaymakerOS.
The Activity Feed is a time-ordered log of every operational event across your Host platform — deployments, invocations, and webhook deliveries.
Reading the feed
Each event in the feed shows:
- Resource icon — which module the event belongs to (app, ambassador, or table)
- Event description — what happened (e.g., "App: MyWebsite deployed")
- Status icon — the outcome:
| Icon | Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Checkmark | Green | Success |
| X | Red | Failed or errored |
| Warning triangle | Orange | Timeout |
| Clock | Grey | Queued or building |
- Timestamp — shown as relative time ("5 minutes ago", "2 hours ago")
Navigating from events
Click any event to jump directly to the affected resource:
- Deployment events → open the app's deployment history
- Invocation events → open the ambassador's invocation log
- Webhook events → open the table's incoming data view
This makes the feed a quick way to investigate issues without navigating through menus.
Filtering by time
The activity feed respects the time range selector on the Monitor dashboard:
- 24 hours — see today's events
- 7 days — see this week
- 30 days — see the full month
Events outside the selected range are not shown.
Common patterns
Successful deployment
A green checkmark event reading "App: MyWebsite deployed" confirms your latest push built and deployed correctly.
Failed deployment
A red X event signals a build failure. Click the event to see build logs and identify the issue — common causes include missing dependencies, TypeScript errors, or environment variable misconfigurations.
Ambassador timeout
An orange warning event means an ambassador took too long to respond. This usually indicates the function is doing too much work in a single invocation or waiting on a slow external API.
Webhook delivery failure
A red X on a webhook event means the incoming data didn't reach its destination. Check the webhook configuration and ensure the target URL is accessible.
