Admin > Jobs
This section displays the list of jobs in the queue.
Information
Information displayed for each job is:
- Job ID
- Task executed by the job, e.g. run_analysis, run_plugin.
- Status, one of
inactive,active,failed, orfinished. - Dates of creation (and end, if the job has completed) of the job.
- Arguments provided to the Job for its execution.
For each job, administrators can (icons on the left, from left to right): * Show details (including log) of the job. * Restart the job with same set of arguments. * Delete the jobs.
See the documentation for Minion jobs for more details.
Successful (i.e. in status finished) jobs are automatically deleted after one day.
Minion
Minion is a queue management system finely integrated into Mojolicious. It uses a Postgresql database to store information about the jobs, and can be commanded directly from the command line.
You need to start a worker for minion to manage the queue and actually do the work. This is achieved by issuing in a command line:
boris@midkemia mojo $ bin/alambic minion worker
The list of jobs in queue can be obtained from the command line:
boris@midkemia mojo $ bin/alambic minion job
142 finished default run_project
141 finished default run_project
Display list of workers running:
boris@midkemia mojo $ bin/alambic minion job -w
83 midkemia:837
Display statistics about the queue:
boris@midkemia mojo $ bin/alambic minion job -s
{
"active_jobs" => 0,
"active_workers" => 0,
"delayed_jobs" => 0,
"enqueued_jobs" => 215,
"failed_jobs" => 3,
