## List and Inspect Workflows
Use `dbos.ListWorkflows` to query workflow executions by status, name, time range, and other criteria.
**Incorrect (no monitoring of workflow state):**
```go
// Start workflow with no way to check on it later
dbos.RunWorkflow(ctx, processTask, "data")
// If something goes wrong, no way to find or debug it
```
**Correct (listing and inspecting workflows):**
```go
// List workflows by status
erroredWorkflows, err := dbos.ListWorkflows(ctx,
dbos.WithStatus([]dbos.WorkflowStatusType{dbos.WorkflowStatusError}),
)
for _, wf := range erroredWorkflows {
fmt.Printf("Workflow %s: %s - %v\n", wf.ID, wf.Name, wf.Error)
}
```
List workflows with multiple filters:
```go
workflows, err := dbos.ListWorkflows(ctx,
dbos.WithName("processOrder"),
dbos.WithStatus([]dbos.WorkflowStatusType{dbos.WorkflowStatusSuccess}),
dbos.WithLimit(100),
dbos.WithSortDesc(),
dbos.WithLoadOutput(true),
)
```
List workflow steps:
```go
steps, err := dbos.GetWorkflowSteps(ctx, workflowID)
for _, step := range steps {
fmt.Printf("Step %d: %s\n", step.StepID, step.StepName)
if step.Error != nil {
fmt.Printf(" Error: %v\n", step.Error)
}
if step.ChildWorkflowID != "" {
fmt.Printf(" Child: %s\n", step.ChildWorkflowID)
}
}
```
Workflow status values: `WorkflowStatusPending`, `WorkflowStatusEnqueued`, `WorkflowStatusSuccess`, `WorkflowStatusError`, `WorkflowStatusCancelled`, `WorkflowStatusMaxRecoveryAttemptsExceeded`
To optimize performance, avoid loading inputs/outputs when you don't need them (they are not loaded by default).
