Scheduled Jobs

The Scheduled Jobs tab on the OrchestratorClosed Keyfactor orchestrators perform a variety of functions, including managing certificate stores and SSH key stores. Job Status page shows all currently scheduled orchestrator jobs, excluding remote CAClosed A certificate authority (CA) is an entity that issues digital certificates. Within Keyfactor Command, a CA may be a Microsoft CA or a Keyfactor gateway to a cloud-based or remote CA. synchronization, SSHClosed The SSH (secure shell) protocol provides for secure connections between computers. It provides several options for authentication, including public key, and protects the communications with strong encryption., and SSLClosed TLS (Transport Layer Security) and its predecessor SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) are protocols for establishing authenticated and encrypted links between networked computers. jobs. At a glance, you can view discovery, inventory, and management jobs scheduled for orchestrator pools.

Tip:  Where to find this in the Management Portal:
Orchestrators → Jobs → Scheduled Jobs Tab

The actions available on the Scheduled Jobs tab are shown below.

This page supports the standard query format described in Using Search in the Management Portal and includes its own set of query parsers specific to this operation. Use the following parsers to filter and refine results for this page.

  • JobType

    Job Type contains or doesn’t contain the referenced keywords. Supported keywords are:

    • ODKG

    • SSL Monitoring

    • CA Sync

    • SSH Sync

  • OrchestratorPoolId

    Complete matches with the Keyfactor Command reference GUID for the orchestrator pool.

  • OrchestratorPoolName

    Complete or partial matches with the orchestrator pool name.

  • Requested

    Job was requested or updated before, after or on a specified date. Supports the %TODAY% token (see Advanced Search).

  • ScheduleType

    Schedule Type matches or does not match the referenced type. Supported schedule types are:

    • Immediate

    • Interval

    • Daily

    • Weekly

    • Monthly

    • Once

  • TargetPath

    Complete or partial matches with the contents of the Target field, including the target machine name and the certificate store path and file name.

To unschedule a job, select the job in the orchestrator job status grid and choose Unschedule from the toolbar or right-click menu.

If an inventory job for a certificate store is unscheduled, all scheduled instances of that job are removed, not just the next run. The store will not be inventoried again until a new inventory job is scheduled on the Certificate Stores page.

Tip:  SSL discovery and monitoring jobs and SSH synchronization jobs cannot be unscheduled from this page—this should be done in SSL and SSH management instead (see SSL Discovery and SSH Server Group Operations).

To unschedule multiple jobs, identity the jobs you want to unschedule (for example, search for JobType -contains "Discovery") and choose Unschedule All Jobs from the toolbar.

Scheduled Jobs Grid Columns

Figure 361: Orchestrator Job Status Scheduled Jobs

The Orchestrator Scheduled Jobs grid includes these fields:

Orchestrator Pool

The orchestrator pool selected to execute the job.

Target

The target machine name followed by the path and file name to the certificate store on the target for many types of jobs. This field may be blank for some types of jobs.

Schedule

The time at which or frequency with which a job will run. Add and remove certificate jobs will show Immediate unless they have been scheduled for a later time. Renewals and ODKG (on-device key generation, formerly re-enrollment) will always show Immediate since these can’t be scheduled for a later time.

Job Type

The type of job—for example, inventory, discovery, management (add and remove certificate), synchronization.

Requested

The date and time when the job was configured or updated.
