Job End Time Graph Report

The Job End Time Graph report provides an interactive line graph of the exact end time for each execution of selected jobs over a specified time range, based on historical job run data. With this graphic presentation you can clearly see executions with irregular end times, more importantly, you can easily identify the delayed executions.

Each point in the graph is an execution. Move your cursor over a point to display run details for individual job runs.

This report is similar to the Job Run History Graph in that it depicts every job execution. Both graphs show you when delays in executions occurred by showing you where the outliers were. One does it by depicting how long executions ran and the other the time when executions ended. For information, see Job Run History Graph Report.

The two graphs are also interactive in the same way to give you individual execution details as well as an overview of the trends.

Click anywhere on the graphic to open the Job Runs History Data Table that lists all the executions that are included in the graphic. That means all the executions that meet the configuration criteria in the configuration for the report, which you can view by selecting Edit from the report menu. For information, see Job Run History Data Table Report.

To zoom into a portion of the graph and better see the spikes and valleys of individual runs, click and drag over the area that you want to magnify. To return to the normal view, click the Reset zoom button floating in the upper right of the panel.

Configuring the Report

You can configure this report to provide data for one or more jobs. Use the various job detail criteria fields to describe the jobs that you want to include. Click each criteria type to open the selection fields. Within one criteria type the criteria have an AND relationship, and the different criteria types have an OR relationship to each other. If you do not select a time zone, the default time zone of the user where the report is generated is used.  

The other configuration options are self-explanatory.

Tip:

Generally, to get a meaningful set of data, you should specify a data range of at least 30 days.
