Apache Airflow to manage Windows Batchs files execution

Question

My boss asked me to use Airflow to manage many batch file executions on two Windows Servers. His concern is that he doesn’t like the e-mail system for reporting each batch execution at the end, indicating success or problems. He wants a “cool” web page to manage and start batch files from there if need be (really rare, only when there is a failure you have to manually start a batch file).

I did setup Airflow using WSL2, it is working, and I’m able to launch a Windows batch from Airflow. The problem is that it always report errors (red dot in the Airflow interface). I did search a lot, and I didn’t find anyone who seems to be using Airflow for Windows Servers batch control.

I must mention that the batch files mainly just transfer files from local servers to other clients via FTP.

It seems to me that Airflow is not the solution here, and it is like using a tank to kill a bee…

I’m I right? I want to make it clear to my boss that this is spending money and hour of work on something that is not needed here.

Please share your thought! Thanks!
