# Jobs History

## Jobs History

The **Jobs History** page is your central logbook for all automated file transfer activities executed by your devices. Every time a job runs - whether it’s moving files locally, retrieving them from an FTP server, or importing from a file share - it leaves a detailed record here.

This history is essential for monitoring operational health, verifying that data pipelines are functioning as intended, and diagnosing issues when they occur. By combining a high-level job overview with in-depth execution logs, the **Jobs History** page allows you to quickly spot trends, confirm successful transfers, and troubleshoot failed runs - all in one place.

Whether you’re ensuring that scheduled jobs keep your data flowing or investigating why a particular file didn’t arrive, this is the go-to location for understanding what happened, when it happened, and why.

### Jobs History

The **Jobs History** page provides a complete overview of file transfer jobs that have been executed on a device. These jobs can include:

* [**File Jobs**](/management-portal/designer/assets/jobs/file-job.md)
* [**FTP Jobs**](/management-portal/designer/assets/jobs/ftp-job.md)
* [**File Share Jobs**](/management-portal/designer/assets/jobs/file-share-job.md)

Jobs will appear on this page if they have been configured from an **Asset Hierarchy** and that hierarchy has been deployed to a device.

***

### Acessing Jobs History

If an **FTP Job, File Share Job** **or File Job** is configured in the Asset Hierarchy and deployed to the device, the **FileTransferModule** will be installed on the device.

1. Navigate to the **Monitoring** section
2. Select the target device from the device tree
3. Open the **FileTransferModule**
4. Click the **Jobs History** tab

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure you have **configured** and **deployed** at least one [File Job](/management-portal/designer/assets/jobs/file-job.md), [FTP Job](/management-portal/designer/assets/jobs/ftp-job.md) or [File Share Job](/management-portal/designer/assets/jobs/file-share-job.md) in an Asset Hierarchy[,](/management-portal/designer/assets/data-connectors/file-share.md) otherwise the FileTransferModule may not be deployed on the device.
{% endhint %}

### Filtering & Searching in Job Executions

From the **Jobs History** page, you can:

* **Filter by Job Type** – Show all jobs, only File Jobs, FTP Jobs, or File Share Jobs
* **Filter by Time Range** – Limit results to the last 24 hours, last 7 days, or a custom date range
* **Search** – Use free-text search to find specific jobs or errors (e.g., search for *Error* or *Timeout*)

### Job Execution List (Top Table)

The top table lists all job runs that match your filters, showing:

* **State** – Whether the job completed successfully or failed
* **Start Time** – When the job started
* **Duration** – How long the job took to complete
* **Job Name** – The configured name of the job
* **Config ID** – The specific data connector used for the job
* **Type** – File job, FTP job, or file share job
* **Files Transferred** – Number of files moved/copied/deleted in this execution
* **MB Transferred** – Total size of transferred data in megabytes
* **Device** – The device where the job was executed

***

### Detailed Job Execution Log (Bottom Table)

When you select a job from the list, detailed log entries appear in the bottom table.\
These logs show:

* Connection attempts and successes
* File matching patterns
* Download/upload progress
* Errors and warnings (if any)

***

### Use Cases

The **Jobs History** feature can be used to:

* **Validate** that jobs are running on schedule and transferring the expected files.
* **Debug** jobs that fail due to connectivity issues, authentication errors, or file matching problems
* **Audit** historical transfer data for troubleshooting and compliance purposes
