Audit jobs with the web interface
Audit jobs with the web interface¶
As of DTR 2.2, admins were able to view and audit jobs within MSR using the API. MSR 2.6 enhances those capabilities by adding a Job Logs tab under System settings on the user interface. The tab displays a sortable and paginated list of jobs along with links to associated job logs.
View Jobs List¶
To view the list of jobs within MSR, do the following:
Navigate to
https://<msr-url>and log in with your MKE credentials.Select System from the left navigation pane, and then click Job Logs. You should see a paginated list of past, running, and queued jobs. By default, Job Logs shows the latest
10jobs on the first page.
Specify a filtering option. Job Logs lets you filter by:
Action: See Audit Jobs via the API: Job Types for an explanation on the different actions or job types.
Worker ID: The ID of the worker in a MSR replica that is responsible for running the job.
Optional: Click Edit Settings on the right of the filtering options to update your Job Logs settings. See Enable auto-deletion of job logs for more details.
