Jobs and schedules
MiniPAM represents background and agent work as jobs. A job records its request type, handler, status, creator, related resource, duration, failure reason, parent/child structure, and structured log entries.
Run and inspect jobs
Open Discovery → Job runs, choose an agent, and start one of the requests supported by that agent. Use text and structured filters to narrow history. Selecting a job opens its details and logs; active logs update through server-sent events.
Some completed discovery jobs offer follow-up import actions. These create separate server-side import jobs, preserving the original observation and the resulting inventory change as distinct work.
Schedule recurring work
Open Discovery → Schedules to create work from handlers registered by the server. Depending on the handler, schedules use either a cron expression and timezone or an interval. They also carry a start time and handler-specific arguments.
From the schedule directory you can:
- create and edit user-managed schedules;
- pause and resume a schedule;
- run it immediately without waiting for its next trigger;
- inspect the underlying handler and arguments;
- delete user-managed schedules.
System-managed schedules are visible but intentionally restrict destructive changes.
Use narrow scan targets and longer intervals first. Inspect run duration and failure history before increasing frequency or scope.
