Orchestrate Amazon Batch jobs with Step Functions state machines in the Amazon Batch console

You can use the Amazon Batch console to view details about your Step Functions state machines and the functions that they use.

Viewing state machine details

The Amazon Batch console displays a list of your state machines in the current Amazon Web Services Region that contain at least one workflow step that submits a Amazon Batch job.

Choose a state machine to view a graphical representation of the workflow. Steps highlighted in blue represent Amazon Batch jobs. Use the graph controls to zoom in, zoom out, and center the graph.

Note

When a Amazon Batch job is dynamically referenced with JsonPath in the state machine definition, the function details cannot be shown in the Amazon Batch console. Instead, the job name is listed as a Dynamic reference, and the corresponding steps in the graph are grayed out.

  1. Open the Amazon Batch console Workflow orchestration powered by Step Functions page.
