Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The Automation kit is currently time consuming to troubleshoot when something doesn't work as expected. As an admin, you have to dig and look through potentially 18 cloud flows run history in a Satellite environment to find if there is a failure somewhere. This is especially true when you are new to the Automation kit and not yet familiar with how the different flows work.
For example, Satellite Solution flows can fail if a variable is missing or using an incorrect default value, and lead to unexpected behavior.
Example 1: #337. An automation kit tester inquired why some of the flow sessions for their metered cloud flows where not showing up in the Automation Center app in the Automation COE Main environment. There was no visible errors to hint where the failure came from and the tester initially believed they did something wrong or missed a step, so they didn't report the issue right away. After a lot of digging through the Satellite Solution flows run history, I found it was due to the flow "Sync Solution Metering Artifacts" failing. From there it was easy to find that a variable default value was causing the issue.
Example 2: #310. During early testing, we encountered an error in the Automation Solution Manager app when clicking on any solution, preventing us to see the flows within the solution to enable metering. Looking through the Satellite Solution flows run history, I found it was due to the flow ""Get Dataverse Solution Artifacts" failing. Again from there it was easy to find that a variable default value was causing the issue.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be extremely useful to have an "Admin Command Center App" included in the Automation COE Satellite Solution that tracks its flow errors daily, with the option to set email alerts to multiple email addresses. This would ensure the alerts are sent to a mailbox that is monitored and for sync flow errors to be addressed proactively rather than react when an automation kit user notices and informs the COE admin that something isn't working as expected.
For reference, the CoE Starter kit includes an Admin Command Center App which makes it a lot easier to troubleshoot proactively. It has other neat features such as a screen to view and modify environment variables. A similar app would be a great addition to the Automation kit.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Just the ability to set email alerts to the email address(es) of our choice when an Automation COE Satellite flow fails would be a great improvement by itself.
Additional context?
List of flows in the Automation COE Solution. It can be time consuming to look through the flows run history when you are not yet familiar with the flows and don't know exactly where to look for potential flow run failure.
CoE Starter kit Admin Command Center App sync flow error screen. It is much easier and user friendly to look for flow run errors under one screen.
