Automation Overview

83 vues Markdown

The Overview tab answers two questions at a glance: is scheduled work running at all, and is any single task in trouble.

Opening the Screen

Panel menu: Settings then Automation: {admin}/automation

The screen opens on the Overview tab. To land on it directly: {admin}/automation?tab=dashboard

Staff without the automation right see an access message, and the menu entry is missing for them.

What Is on the Screen

A status bar and a warning line sit above the tab strip and stay in place on all three tabs. The tab itself holds the task list.

Status bar Whether automation is running, when it last ran, and the main on/off switch.

Warning line One line, and only when something needs your decision.

Tasks Every scheduled task, grouped by how often it runs.

The numbers refresh by themselves every few seconds while the tab is open.

The status bar

The headline names the current state: Automation is running when the last round was under three minutes ago, Automation is falling behind up to ten minutes, Automation is critically behind up to an hour, and Automation is not responding beyond that. On a new installation it says Automation has never run.

Last Run is the moment the server last called WISECP. Upcoming Job counts down to the next scheduled task, skipping the ones that run every minute. Both appear only while automation is on and the system has run at least once. A clock chip appears while you are outside the processing time range.

On the right sit Run Self-Test and the main switch. While the switch is off, the bar names who turned it off and when, how many jobs are waiting, and offers Re-enable Now.

The warning line

It stays hidden until one of three things is true, and the first match wins.

Automation has never run: Open Setup takes you to the crontab command.
It ran before but has been silent over an hour: Check Setup goes to the same place.
Failed jobs are piling up: Inspect narrows the task list to the failing tasks.

The task list

The toolbar carries the task count, a search box and four filters: All, Issues, Queued and Disabled.

Rows are grouped by rhythm: Every minute, Hourly, Daily, Monthly and Manual. Each group header counts what it holds, plus how many are failing or switched off. Tasks with nothing to look at fold away behind a Show line, so only the rows that want attention stay open.

A task row

The name is followed by Last run or Never ran. A clock icon marks a task bound to the processing time range, and an information icon holds its description.

A healthy task carries no badge. Has Errors, Running, a pending count, Disabled or Unregistered appear only when they apply. Unregistered means the task is defined but nothing runs it.

Then come two numbers, Today (finished today) and Queued, and Next, which reads Due now, Overdue or a countdown. When automation has been quiet for over ten minutes, Next reads — on every row. The system cannot work out the next moment.

Clicking the task name opens that task's job list in its own window, and so do the Today and Queued numbers. The window carries a search box, stage and status filters, multi-select and a Delete Selected button.

Fields

Search tasks Filters by task name, technical name and description. It also opens the folded groups so a match inside one is visible.

All / Issues / Queued / Disabled Narrows the list. All is selected when you arrive.

Main switch On by default. Switching it takes effect at once, with no confirmation step.

Tasks

Find the task behind a failure

Click Inspect on the warning line, or the Issues filter in the task toolbar.
The list keeps only the tasks with failed jobs. Most carry a Has Errors badge; a task you switched off shows Disabled instead, even when it has failed jobs.
Click Has Errors to open that task's failed jobs, where you can read the error and retry a job. For a task that is switched off, click its name instead.

Run a task now

Find the row and click the play button at its right end.
The task is queued immediately, without waiting for its schedule.
Watch Queued and Today on the row: the job is picked up within about a minute.

Switch one task off or back on

Click the pause button at the right end of the row.
The row turns Disabled at once. No new work is planned, but jobs already queued are still picked up. To stop those too, delete them or switch the main switch off.
The same button, now a play icon, brings the task back from its next round on.

Stop or restart all automation

Switch off the toggle at the right of the status bar.
The bar turns to Cron System Disabled and names you as the person who did it.
Click Re-enable Now to start again. Waiting jobs are processed from the next round.

Check that the server reaches WISECP

Click Run Self-Test in the status bar.
Your browser calls the cron address and a result window opens.
Cron system is healthy means the call arrived. The window also shows jobs processed, how long the round took and the worker identity.

Things to Watch

The main switch stops the whole product, not only this screen

With it off, no invoice is created, no overdue service is suspended and no notification leaves. Waiting jobs are not lost, but nothing moves until you switch it back on.

Run and pause act at once, with no confirmation

Nothing catches up on the missed rounds when you switch a task back on. It resumes from the next round.

Bulk delete in the job list is permanent

The jobs you tick in the task window are removed from the queue by Delete Selected. There is no confirmation window, only a second click on the same button.

Self-Test really runs a round

It is not a dry check. The call processes whatever is waiting in the queue, so the numbers you see afterwards are real work that has been done.

Required Privileges

The whole screen, including every action on it, needs AUTOMATION_SETTINGS.
