- Changefeeds.
All users can see their own jobs, and admin users can view all jobs performed across all nodes in the cluster.
To view these details, access the Admin UI and click Jobs in the left-hand navigation.
Filter jobs
Use the Status menu to filter jobs by job status.
Use the Type menu to filter jobs by type.
You can toggle between showing the latest 50 jobs or all jobs on the cluster.
Jobs are deleted every 14 days. This interval can be changed via the jobs.retention_time cluster setting.
The Jobs list is designed for you to manage pending work. It is not intended to display the canonical record of all jobs that have run. If you need a historical record of all jobs you have run, you should log this information externally.
Jobs list
Use the Jobs list to see your recently created and completed jobs.
For changefeeds, the table displays a high-water timestamp that advances as the changefeed progresses. This is a guarantee that all changes before or at the timestamp have been emitted. Hover over the high-water timestamp to view the system time.
Automatic table statistics jobs are not displayed even when the Type menu is set to All. To view these jobs, set Type to Automatic-Statistics Creation as described above.
