Job Log

The Job Log shows the detailed execution log for a given Job. It displays every message, warning, error and debug entry generated during the job execution, organized by step and operation.

You can access the Job Log from the Monitor by clicking the Full Log action on a selected job, or from the Job Dashboard.

Toolbar

The Job Log toolbar provides the following controls:

Search - A text search field to filter log entries by content.

Pause/Resume - When the job is running, this button allows you to pause or resume the automatic refresh of the log view. While paused, a counter shows how many updates have been queued. This button is only visible while the job is actively running.

Actions - A dropdown menu with the following actions (availability depends on user permissions):

  • Resume Job - Resumes a paused job. Only available when the job is in Paused status and the user has the action.job.resume permission.
  • Cancel Job - Cancels or kills a running job. When the job is in Running or Waiting status, it will kill the job process. For other cancellable statuses (Ready, Approval, Paused, Trapped), it will cancel the job. Only available when the user has the action.job.cancel permission.
  • Rollback Job - Initiates a rollback of the job. Only available when the job has Finished status and the user has the action.job.rollback permission.
  • Add a comment - Opens an annotation window where you can post a comment in the job log. Comments can include formatted text, raw data, or file attachments.

View - A dropdown menu with view options:

  • Execution N/M - Shows and lets you switch between multiple executions of the same job, if the job has been rerun.
  • Level - Filter log entries by severity level: Information, Comments, Warning, Error, and Debug. When Debug is enabled, additional columns for Op and Milestone become visible.
  • HTML view - Opens the log in a new browser window in HTML format, useful for sharing or printing.
  • Rule Trace - Toggles a tree panel on the left side that shows the rule structure. Clicking a step or operation in the tree scrolls the log to the corresponding entry.

Log Columns

The log grid displays the following columns (some hidden by default):

  • Step - The job step number.
  • Level - The severity icon (info, warning, error, debug, or comment).
  • Timestamp / Total elapsed time / Total execution time - Time information, displayed according to user preferences.
  • Op - The operation or service that generated the log entry.
  • Message - The log message content.
  • Actions - Icons for viewing attached data, downloading files, or opening streaming panels.

Additional hidden columns include Job, Execution, Key, Op Id, Scope, Provider, PID, Milestone, Log Id, Rule Id, and Rule Name.

Streaming Panel

Clicking on a data icon or stream icon in the Actions column opens a side panel that displays the attached data or a live stream of the operation output. The streaming panel includes controls to:

  • Detach - Open the content in a separate browser window.
  • Wrap - Toggle word wrapping for long lines.
  • Close - Close the streaming panel.

Row Interaction

  • Single click - Selects the log entry and highlights the corresponding operation in the Rule Trace tree.
  • Double click - Opens a detail window showing the full message text in a monospace text area, color-coded by severity level.
