The System Settings menu gives you general information about the process engine. It enables users with system permissions to access certain system information, including diagnostics, metrics.

Diagnostics

The Diagnostics menu allows you to view and copy diagnostics data about your environment or distribution of Camunda. The main purpose of the Diagnostics menu is to increase transparency by giving you easy access to important system diagnostics information. In the event of an issue, this should also improve problem diagnosis by enabling you to quickly understand and share the Camunda environment you are running.

Execution Metrics

The Execution Metrics menu in Admin displays an approximate number of Flow Nodes Instances (FNI), Executed Decision Elements (EDE), Process Instances (PI) and Decision Instances (DI) processed by the engine and Task Users (TU) that were assigned to a user task by the selected contract start date.

The page displays the rolling last 12 months metrics in a chart and table. Legacy metrics (FNI, EDE) are hidden by default, but can be displayed by selecting the Display legacy metrics checkbox. Underneath, it displays all the available annual usage metrics.

Annual metrics together with the diagnostics data can be copied to the clipboard by clicking on the button. The copied format consists of two parts as seen below in the example. The second part contains the diagnostics data which provides useful information that helps Camunda to improve support but customers can opt out of sharing it. This part has been truncated in the example.
