Digest Schedules

Digest Schedules let you receive periodic summary reports of job queue status. Instead of individual failure notifications, digests provide a consolidated view of running, failed, and on-hold jobs.

Overview​

Why Digest Reports?​

Digests complement real-time notifications:

  • Daily overview: Start your day knowing job queue health

  • Trend visibility: See patterns over time

  • Reduced noise: One summary instead of many alerts

  • Management reporting: Share status with stakeholders

Digest Content​

Each digest includes:

  • Summary statistics: Counts by status

  • Running jobs: Currently executing jobs

  • Failed jobs: Jobs that failed since last digest

  • On-hold jobs: Jobs requiring attention

  • Generation timestamp: When digest was created
