There is a module on the forge (workflow-tools?) that should allow you to see what's the state of workflow engine and how many items are where.
And yes you can also use the groovy console to either obtain instance of workflow engine from the workflow module or to go and browse content of those two workspaces directly, but parsing those items is non trivial and would require you to pbly create some script and parse xml config files from workflow engine to find out the status.
