Jobs
A job is a primary unit of configuration and scheduling in Axibase Collector.
Each job has the following generic properties:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | Job type, such as JDBC, JMX, FILE, etc. |
| Name | Job name. |
| Enabled | Job schedule status. The job must be enabled to be executed according to its schedule. |
| Cron Expression | Cron Expression determines how frequently the job is executed. |
| Storage | Target ATSD server for sending collected data. |
Type-specific properties, such as a SQL query in a JDBC job or a CSV parser in a FILE job, are specified in nested configuration objects.
+ job-1
- configuration-1
+ job-2
- configuration-2
- configuration-3
...
The job may include multiple configurations. For example, a JDBC job may be configured to execute multiple SQL queries.
Cloning Jobs
You can create the exact copy of the job by clicking 'Clone'.
The copied job will have the same name as the original job but with the '-cloned' postfix.
By default, cloned jobs are disabled.
You can change the necessary settings and enable the job by selecting the Enabled check box.
A cloned job has its own primary key and can run concurrently with the original job.
