Job Log

When enabled, job logging writes changes made by users to a log file on the server. This log is stored in the log folder as job-log.json.

For each job executed, the job log contains an entry for each phase of execution. A job typically transitions through the following phases:
  • Submitted
  • Preparing
  • Transferring
  • Executing
  • Completing
  • Completed

Each log file record is written using a JSON format, as in the following example:

{
   "@timestamp":"2024-01-27T17:28:38.909Z",
   "@version":"1",
   "message":"{\"timestamp\":1706376518904,\"jobId\":\"2a39fc4b-332b-42b8-b961-3888c8b9453c\",\"appName\":\"Campaign Conversion\",\"scenarioName\":\"Scenario 1\",\"phase\":\"completed\",\"executionMode\":\"RUN\",\"executionServiceName\":\"PRIMARY\",\"executionWorkerName\":\"http://localhost:8081\",\"threads\":\"UNLIMITED\"}",
   "logger_name":"com.fico.xpress.insight.job-log",
   "thread_name":"http-nio-127.0.0.1-8080-exec-8",
   "level":"INFO",
   "level_value":20000,
   "traceId":"65b53d46db167fda4516f4f266bea74b",
   "spanId":"53d12ce34e254901",
   "jobId":"2a39fc4b-332b-42b8-b961-3888c8b9453c",
   "user.id":"5ab6f1b7-a167-4bf5-992b-2963a2ef4745",
   "userId":"5ab6f1b7-a167-4bf5-992b-2963a2ef4745",
   "version":"5.9.0"
}

The value of the message field is a JSON object that can be deserialized to show the job properties, as in this example:

{
   "timestamp":1706376518904,
   "jobId":"2a39fc4b-332b-42b8-b961-3888c8b9453c",
   "appName":"Campaign Conversion",
   "scenarioName":"Scenario 1",
   "phase":"completed",
   "executionMode":"RUN",
   "executionServiceName":"PRIMARY",
   "executionWorkerName":"http://localhost:8081",
   "threads":"UNLIMITED"
}

The job log is the only log that is downloadable using the Xpress Insight user interface. If you have SYS_SERVER authority, you can access the current log files on the Job Logs page of the Admin area.
