View / Admin Running Discovery Jobs​

Jobs Dashboard Summary​

The Jobs Dashboard provides users actionable insight into running discovery jobs. Via the main menu, Reports > Jobs Dashboard, users can get an at-a-glance overview of Device42 Discovery Job Statuses, can deep-dive into each job for more details, and can even "kill" and/or delete a running job.

The dashboard has three other sub-dashboards: Completed Jobs, Queue Processing Stats, and Other Jobs Summary. Refer to these sub-dashboard sections below for information on each.

The main screen of the Jobs Dashboard looks like this:

Kill and Delete a Running or Hung Discovery Job​

Check the box next to the job name(s) you want to kill, then select one of "Kill selected job(s)" options from the dropdown menu:

  • The first "Allow Pending Jobs to Complete" option will terminate the ongoing discovery but will let any payloads in the queue finish processing.
  • The second "Remove Pending Jobs Immediately" option will terminate the ongoing discovery job and remove any payloads in the queue. If a discovery is half-finished when cancelled, it will be ended and no further devices will be added or updated. However, if timed correctly, there may be an edge case where payloads are dispatched to the MA after emptying the queue.

Other Jobs Summary​

Jobs that don't utilize the main Jobs Dashboard will be found in the Other Jobs Summary sub-dashboard. Other jobs include RU (Resource Utilization) jobs, SP (Service Port) jobs, and vserver jobs. Job statuses can be monitored and you can also kill any running job from this page by selecting the checkbox next to it and choosing "Kill Selected Jobs" as your action.

This is a sample of the "Other Jobs Summary" page:
