Monitor a Job Session

You can view the details of a job session that is currently running or one that has finished. Use the Monitor window to view the status of a job session including start time, end time, and job name.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

Start a job session. If you do not want to wait until the next scheduled job run, run the job session on demand. See Start, Stop, and Halt a Job Session.

To monitor a running job session:

Click the Monitor tab. On the Views pane, select Jobs . The All Jobs pane displays defined jobs that are currently running or idle, and provides information about their most recent session, their last runtime, last run duration, and last run status.
View the status of a job in the status column. Currently running job sessions are represented by an active icon. Once a job session finishes, one of the following icons appears in the status column:

Completed - Indicates the job session completed successfully. All tasks associated with the job session were completed.
Partial - Indicates the job session completed, but one or more tasks failed or were skipped.
Failed - Indicates the job session did not successfully complete due to mixed task statuses.
Aborted - Indicates the job session did not successfully complete due to a reset, reboot, or shutdown of the virtual appliance server.
Held - Indicates the job has been paused through the Halt feature in the Actions menu.
Idle - Indicates the job session is idle.
Skipped - Indicates that a volume was not cataloged. See the Task tab for more information about skipped jobs.
Stopped - Indicates the job was stopped using the Stop button.
