Abstract
Examples perform monitoring of multiple-step, concurrently executed workflows across distributed nodes. Requests from an intermediate node are classified by a load balancer as monitoring or non-monitoring. Non-monitoring requests are handled by any node; however, monitoring requests are distributed to all nodes via a plurality of queues but handled only by nodes executing the subject workflow. The load balancer receives reports from any node executing the subject workflow, and passes the first report to the intermediate node.
