Audit Jobs via the Web Interface

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

As of DTR 2.2, admins were able to view and audit jobs within DTR using the API. DTR 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.

Prerequisite

View Jobs List

To view the list of jobs within DTR, do the following:

  1. Navigate to https://<dtr-url>and log in with your UCP credentials.

  2. 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 10 jobs on the first page.

  3. 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 DTR replica that is responsible for running the job.

  4. 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.
