Configuring a Broker Job

A Broker Job is an application that runs at scheduled times on a server using a cron-like syntax. Jobs are customizable by choosing which program to run, any arguments passed via the command line, and the configuration that the job uses to gather additional settings. Most jobs also require the use of rules for the processing of data.

Dependencies

  • The Assure1 application to be configured is installed.

Best Practices

When configuring a new Job, it is best practice to create a copy of the original Job and modify the copy instead of using the original. Use a unique naming convention to ensure the Jobs are distinguishable from existing Jobs.

Configuring a Broker Job

  1. Review the documentation for the Assure1 application to understand what elements are required to configure and utilize the application.

  2. If the Job requires configuration in the UI, navigate to the appropriate UIs and create the settings.

  3. If the Job requires rules, navigate to Configuration -> Rules and either:

    • Create the rules files.

    • Modify the provided default Rules.

    Consult the Assure1 application documentation page for details on rules creation or How-To regarding the Assure1 application.

  4. Navigate to Configuration -> Broker Control -> Jobs and either:

    • Create a new Job.

    • Copy and modify existing Job.

    • Modify the default Job (least recommended).

    Consult the Assure1 application documentation page for details on job settings. Ensure the Status of the job is set to Enabled.

  5. To test the Job, select the Job in the list, and click Start. If the job does not appear to run, consult the log file for any error messages.

  6. (Optional) Navigate to the Logs UI via the navigation bar and view the log file for the job to validate that the job is operating correctly.
