This module allows merchants and developers to easily view and manage Magento cron jobs in the backend of Magento 2.
composer require phpro/mage2-module-scheduler
A timeline of the Magento jobs can be found under System / Cron Schedule / Schedule Timeline.
On this timeline we can easily:
- see when a job executed
- see when a job is successful, these are marked green
- see when a job has failed, these are marked red
- see at what time a job should be executed, these are marked gray
The timeline view is very similar to the list view, which we can find under System / Cron Schedule / Schedule list. With the schedule list you can easily:
- schedule new jobs (by clicking on the 'Schedule job' button)
- delete jobs (by selecting them and selecting 'Delete' from the actions dropdown)
- filter jobs (ex. filter by cron status)
We can easily disable cron jobs by using the System / Cron Schedule / Job Configuration view from which we can easily select and disable a cron job. Disabling a cron will prevent it from being scheduled.
- Visualisation of the cron jobs by list and timeline view
- Add / remove jobs to the schedule
- Control which jobs can be scheduled by Magento
- Remove stalled jobs in 'running' status after a configured amount of time
- Clean up ran or failed cron jobs
The configuration for this module can be found under Stores / Configuration / Advanced / System / Cron
Running Job Lifetime: The value for this field is in minutes. With it, you can determine when a job will be removed when its status is running.
Limit Entries In Timeline View: With this we limit which cron jobs are visible in the timeline view. By default, we can select the following values:
- Show All
- Show past 24 hours
- Show past 12 hours
- Show past 6 hours
