1.1 Workflow description

Title
Monitor [PROD] workflows in real time with the n8n Public API dashboard
Workflow name
Monitor [PROD] workflows in real time with the n8n Public API dashboard

A real-time monitoring dashboard for your n8n production workflows, accessible directly from the browser via webhook.

Tag any workflow with [PROD] and it will automatically appear on the dashboard showing:

→ Healthy vs error workflows → Success rate per workflow → Total errors and successes → Last error timestamp → 7-day error history chart

The dashboard auto-refreshes every 30 seconds. No external tools required — it uses only the n8n Public API.

How it works

When the webhook is triggered, the workflow:

  1. Fetches all workflows tagged [PROD] via the n8n API
  2. Retrieves the last 50 executions (success + error) for each workflow
  3. Calculates metrics and renders a dark-themed HTML dashboard
  4. Returns the dashboard directly in the browser

Requirements

  • n8n self-hosted (any version with Public API enabled)
  • n8n API credential configured
  • At least one workflow tagged [PROD]

Setup

  1. Enable the n8n Public API under Settings → API
  2. Create an n8n API credential with your API key
  3. Open the Config node and set your n8n base URL
  4. Connect the credential to all HTTP Request nodes
  5. Activate the workflow and open the webhook URL in your browser

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/13665/13665.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
