Overview
This KB article will provide you with an overview of the plugin section for the Organizational insights component within Dynamics 365.
The Dashboard shows the number of plugins executed and their failures for a given time period.
Even though the dashboard uses the word "failure" , this is slight misleading as a failure might be a valid business exception. So even when you do see failures on the dashboard, you really need to drill in and troubleshoot to see are they failures you should be concerned with.
An example of a failure that you would not be concerned about would be,
- A Workflow with a step of type Cancel Workflow. This would show up in the Dashboard but is completely valid for a business process execution.
An example of a failure you would be concerned about would
- A Divide-by-Zero exception. This also shows up as failure but may or may not be valid for the business processes.
- Security exception. A user executes a query against an entity that they don't have permission for.
