extent analysis

TL;DR

The workflows might have been deleted due to pruning or manual removal, so checking the pruning settings and database backups is a good starting point.

Guidance

  • Review the pruning settings to ensure that the workflows were not automatically deleted due to the maxAge or maxCount limits.
  • Check the database backups to see if the workflows can be restored from a previous version.
  • Verify if the workflows were manually deleted by checking the user activity logs.
  • Consider disabling pruning temporarily to prevent further workflow deletion.

Example

No code snippet is provided as it is not directly relevant to the issue.

Notes

The provided information does not include details about the workflow deletion process, so it's uncertain whether the workflows were deleted intentionally or unintentionally.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check the pruning settings and database backups to restore the workflows, as upgrading to a fixed version is not implied in the issue.
