Hi @rafpor75,

the best way is to look at the logs, they show received events, state transitions and commands triggered, so it is usually enough.
You can find them in the Runtime section of the Console or in an external monitoring tool if you have one (e.g. Grafana).

my problem is probably something else
run the microservices involved in the flow manager locally and debug them during execution without having to deploy and wait for the pipeline times to speed up development times

You can run a microservice locally and debug it using a "JavaScript Debug Terminal", you can find it in the "Run and Debug" section of Visual Studio Code. If it interacts with the Flow Manager, or any other service, you should mock them using an external tool (e.g. mock-server or Mockoon).
