Zeebe Client - process variables

[Radu]

I am curious if there is a possibility to get the variables of a particular instance in the similar manner
there is for Camunda.

I looked at gRPC interface and I saw there is some operation to set variables based on instance id.
Is there some solution to also retrieve the variables, and use them in such a way, not only in the way
they are passed by Zeebe in the job ?

Hi @raduone,

No, the only way to get access to the workflow variables from the client code is to activate a job.

You could write an exporter, or query ElasticSearch using the the built-in ES exporter. This is how Operate does it.
