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:

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.

Accessing the Jobs History via the FileTransferModule

  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

Make sure you have configured and deployed at least one File Job, FTP Job or File Share Job in an Asset Hierarchy, otherwise the FileTransferModule may not be deployed on the device.

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)
