Hi all! I would like to open up for the discussion a new FLIP [1]
Motivation Currently, Flink observability has support for Metrics and Traces. We suggest enhancing the observability capabilities by adding support for Events. This can be used to track the most important events that happen in Flink, e.g. completed checkpoints or changes to the job’s state. Storing such information, e.g. in an event log or a database, would allow us to create a history of those events which can be used for audit purposes or to derive important information like, for example, job uptime/downtime or violations of required checkpoint completion times. For more information please look into the FLIP [1]. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on this. Best, Piotrek [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/3IyMEw
