Monitor
The Monitor page is the operational dashboard for Catalog Automation. It shows real-time KPI counts across all job statuses, a filterable activity table of recent jobs, and row-level actions so operations users can respond to failures without leaving the page.
Accessing the Page
Section titled “Accessing the Page”Navigate to Catalog Automation → Monitor in the sidebar, or go to /catalog-automation/monitor. This is the default landing page for the Catalog Automation module.
What you can do here
Section titled “What you can do here”- View live KPI counts for Pending, Processing, Completed, and Failed jobs.
- Click a KPI tile to filter the activity table to that status instantly.
- Search jobs by customer name or reference number.
- Filter by status and date range to narrow the activity view.
- Open a job detail drawer by clicking any row.
- Retry a failed job directly from the activity table.
- Delete completed, failed, or cancelled jobs after confirmation.
Common tasks
Section titled “Common tasks”- Open Monitor from the Catalog Automation menu.
- Review the KPI tiles — click a tile (e.g., Failed) to filter the table to that status.
- Click a job row to open the detail drawer and inspect execution metadata and any error message.

- The Retry action is only visible for jobs with status Failed.
- The Delete action is only available for jobs with status Completed, Failed, or Cancelled.
