Monitoring jobs

Jobs are long-running tasks that run in the background. You can view the logs of all jobs that are started by Lenovo SDI Management Platform.

About this task​

If a long-running task targets multiple resources, a separate job is created for each resource.

You can see the status and details about each job in the jobs log. The jobs log can contain a maximum of 1000 jobs or 1 GB. When the maximum size is reached, the oldest jobs that completed successfully are deleted. If there are no jobs that completed successfully in the log, the oldest jobs that completed with warnings are deleted. If there are no jobs that completed successfully or with warnings in the log, the oldest jobs that completed with errors are deleted.
