Monitoring Tasks

As a developer and object designer, after defining your objects in the Process Assembly perspective, you execute them to check if they behave as expected. As an operator, you supervise tasks (your running automated processes), analyze problems and take action to remediate them. You find the information and tools that you need for these purposes in the Process Monitoring perspective.

The following chapters guide you through this process:

• Walkthrough of the Process Monitoring Perspective

  A description of the perspective

• Tasks

  Links to the most relevant topics that deal with tasks:

  • Understanding the Task List
  • Filtering Tasks
  • Including or Excluding Deactivated Tasks

• Task Status

  Tasks can have many status depending on their object type, their execution type, their configuration, and so forth. This topic and its sub topics describe all available status. They also list the functions that are available to tasks depending on their status.

• Execution Data

  To help you monitor and troubleshoot, every execution is recorded and stored in the form of historical data. The lists of Executions provide key information about what happened on each execution of each task.

  Automic Automation's Gen AI capabilities analyze and explain the automation output, troubleshoot issues and suggest potential solutions to those issues. See Analyzing Executions with the Automation AI Assistant.

• Understanding the Reports

  As long as the Automation Engine is active, it writes execution data and logs reports. This information tracks all processes and lets you control and monitor all activities. This ensures full auditing capability.

• Monitors

  Many task types have their own monitor view. Combined with the list of Executions and with the reports, the monitors provide all the information you need to understand how tasks behave.

  • Monitoring Events
  • Monitoring Jobs
  • Monitoring Workflows
  • Monitoring Schedules
  • Monitoring Sync Objects
  • Monitoring Job Groups

• Walkthrough of the Dashboards

  Dashboards are customized views that contain widgets with the content you need for your work.

• Walkthrough of the My Catalog Perspective

  This is your personal dashboard. It gives you direct access to the objects and folders that you are entitled to work with.
