Background job queue

Long-running background jobs such as migrations and version moves are tracked here. You see which step a job is on and how much is left, and its log opens inside the row. Restart a job that stalled, or cancel one you no longer need.

03 / What it does5 points

What it does.

If an account migration stalls, you don’t log into the server to hunt for a log file. The steps are listed with their times. When 15 of 24 accounts are copied, you see that step by step rather than as one percentage. Failed jobs also cost health score, so a job that died on Friday evening isn’t news from a customer on Monday.

  1. Four status tabs: running, queued, failed and finished.

  2. Each job’s step-by-step log opens inside its own row, with no separate log file to hunt for.

  3. Requeue a failed job and a timestamped “requeued” line is written to the log.

  4. Cancel a running job and the cancellation is logged along with who did it.

  5. Each failed job costs 2 points of health score, so the queue can’t pile up quietly.
