  • Duration: The total time from start to finish.
  • End: The specific time the flow ended execution.
  • Network Latency: The time spent waiting for external systems/APIs to respond.
  • Steps: The total count of steps the flow took to execute. Open the History Inspector view (the green panel inside the flow) to see the count for each card.
  • Network Ingress: The size of the data payload received by the flow.
  • Network Egress: The size of the data payload sent out to other services.
