Monitors

When executing multiple, long-running, parallel tasks like large data migration procedures, it can be useful to monitor the task progresses.

Ianus provides two console based monitoring interfaces:

  • progress monitor
  • dashboard

Progress Monitors

Progress monitors are a convenient mechanism to show the tasks progress, particularly usefull when monitoring multi-threaded jobs.

When enabled (option -m), the log is not shown on console (but still generated on the log file) and a progress bar is shown for each task executed.

Progress monitors

Specifying option '-D', a dense format of progress bar is used, so to show more tasks on the screens.

With option '-C', progress bars are removed from the screen once the owner task is completed.

Dashboard

Dashboard is another way to display the job progress. When activated (option -d), the console screen is divided in three parts showing:

  • the overall job progress (top)
  • the tasks progress (left-side)
  • the job log (right-side)
