# Automation History and Health

In Automation Studio, you can view your automations over time and improve overall automation health using the automation history dashboard. You can also evaluate your automations by downloading your automation history as a CSV file.

Here are some ways that you can improve automation health:

- Identify automations with a low success rate. Investigate and resolve errors that occur in these automations using the \_AutomationInstance and\_AutomationActivityInstance data views.
- Identify automations with a high skip count. Consider modifying the automation schedule so that the automation has time to complete before attempting to run again.
- Identify automations with relatively high run counts. Consider combining these automations to improve efficiency.

- **[Get Automation History](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mc_as_automation_history_dashboard.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Monitor and enhance automation performance with the History dashboard in Automation Studio. View run frequency, success rates, errors, and skipped automatons. You can also identify automations that overlap and could negatively impact run times. The dashboard is updated daily and loads the latest data each time you access it.
- **[Download Automation History as CSV File](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mc_as_automation_history_health.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Evaluate your automations over time by downloading your automation history as a CSV file. Improve automation health by reviewing each automation’s success rate and identifying automations with high skip or error counts.
