TUI Overview

Launch the interactive TUI by running tpv without a subcommand:

tpv

The TUI provides a navigable, real-time interface to your Temporal cluster. It follows vim-style keybindings throughout.

Views

The TUI has several interconnected views:

  • Workflow List — the main view. Lists workflows with status, type, ID, and timing. Supports filtering, sorting, and date range selection.
  • Workflow Detail — detailed info for a single workflow including input/output payloads, failure messages, and metadata.
  • Activity List — activities for a workflow, with status and timing.
  • Activity Detail — full JSON detail of a single activity with syntax highlighting and search.
  • Event Log — the complete history event table for a workflow.
  • Event Detail — full JSON detail of a single event with syntax highlighting and search.
  • Type List — workflow types with counts broken down by status.
  • Insights — operational findings from scanning workflows.
  • Insight Detail — full detail of a single finding with affected entities, trigger term highlighting, and drill-through to workflows.

Views are arranged as a stack. Enter pushes a detail view, Esc pops back. The typical flow:

Workflow List → Workflow Detail → Activity List → Activity Detail
                     │
                     ├──→ Event Log → Event Detail
                     │
Workflow List → Type List
                     │
Workflow List → Insights → Insight Detail → Workflow Detail
