📄 EasyTask Scheduler Control Guide

🚀 Starting a Scheduler Instance

  • On-Prem: The scheduler starts automatically during installation. To start manually, use the system service manager or the Scheduler Dashboard (/scheduler) → Container Controls → Start.
  • Cloud / Sandbox: The scheduler is managed by the EasyTask team. Contact support if needed.

✅ Confirming a Successful Start:

  • The Scheduler Dashboard shows the scheduler status as "running" with active health metrics.
  • All threads show as "Alive" in the Thread Monitor.
  • The scheduler version and uptime are displayed on the dashboard.

⏚ī¸ Stopping a Scheduler Instance

  • On-Prem: Use the system service manager or the Scheduler Dashboard (/scheduler) → Container Controls → Stop for a graceful shutdown.
  • Cloud / Sandbox: Contact EasyTask support.

✅ Confirming a Clean Shutdown:

  • A graceful shutdown ensures active tasks are completed and resources are cleaned up safely.
  • The Scheduler Dashboard will show the scheduler status as "inactive".

📜 Viewing Scheduler Logs

  • On-Prem: Use the system service manager to view scheduler logs. The Scheduler Dashboard also provides a live log viewer with color-coded log levels.
  • Cloud / Sandbox: Contact EasyTask support for log access.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I confirm the scheduler has started successfully? A: Check the Scheduler Dashboard (/scheduler). If the scheduler is running, the health metrics panel shows the status as "running" with uptime and connected worker count. The Thread Monitor shows all threads as "Alive".

Q: What is the clean way to stop the scheduler? A: For on-prem, use the system service manager or the Scheduler Dashboard → Stop for a graceful shutdown. This ensures active tasks are completed and resources are cleaned up. For cloud/sandbox, contact EasyTask support.

Q: How do I check scheduler logs for troubleshooting? A: The Scheduler Dashboard provides a live log viewer with color-coded log levels (errors in red, warnings in yellow, etc.). For on-prem, you can also access logs through the system service manager.
