Monitoring Processed and Queued Jobs

You can use the Archer Control Panel to monitor the jobs list for jobs that are queued, running, completed, or failed, or you can view a list of all jobs. You can filter, group, and sort the job list.

Note: This help topic describes the Job Engine Manager component of the Archer Control Panel, which is available for on-premises deployments only. To enable similar functionality for administrators and users in the browser-based Archer interface, select Enable Job Monitor in the Archer Control Panel settings. For more information about the browser-based Job Monitor page, see "Job Monitor" in the Archer Platform Help.
