Jobs


A job is a set of actions to be performed on a predefined schedule. A job can be command execution, sending reports by e-mail, changing access to units, etc.

To configure jobs, open the 'Jobs' panel choosing a corresponding name in the top panel or clicking on the necessary item in the main menu customizer. Here you can see the list of all jobs created, information on their state, and the button to create a new job.

In the list, jobs are sorted by name. Use the dynamic filter to save your time when looking for a certain job. Input job name or its part into the search box and observe the results. The other way to filter jobs can be used if you have access to more than one resource. Then, on the dropdown list, choose a resource to display only jobs belonging to it.

Direct a mouse pointer over a job to view details in the tooltip: job type, parameters, schedule, last execution time (whether successful or not), resource (if there is access to several), and other parameters depending on job configuration. In columns on the right, you can see job state (on/off), the number of executions already made, and the number of maximum executions allowed.

The system supports running test execution of a job. Test execution is a single execution of a created job regardless to its activation time and number of executions indicated. Test execution is implemented upon clicking the corresponding icon in the work list, and takes up to 1 minute. A result of a test execution is recorded in the log. Moreover, the information on job's test execution can be viewed in the corresponding report on user. Note than during a test execution of a job, the icon becomes inactive until it finishes.

In the panel, the following icons and buttons are used:

 NoteSuch commands as Upload configuration and Upload firmware have their own peculiarities. If these commands have been saved for units without selecting a file, sending these commands as a job/notification or sending them to the whole group of units is impossible.
Note.
If a job belongs to some resource to which you do not have access rights to 'Create, edit, and delete jobs', then some kind of actions towards this job, such as enable/disable, edit or delete will be unavailable.
