Jobs are started by various RSA NetWitness
Platform components; for example, downloading Content Management System (CMS) resources from Live Services and extracting logs, meta, and PCAP files from NetWitness Investigate.
In the ADMIN > System view, Administrators can manage all NetWitness Platform jobs in the Jobs panel. Other non-administrative users can view their own jobs in the user Profile Jobs panel.
In addition, while working in NetWitness Platform, you can open a quick view of your jobs from the NetWitness Platform toolbar. When a job status has changed, the Jobs icon (
) is flagged with the number of running jobs. Once all jobs are completed, that number disappears.
In the Jobs panel, you can:
- View and sort the jobs
- Pause or resume a job
- Cancel a job
- Delete a job
- Download a job
The structure of the jobs panel is the same in all views.
What do you want to do?
Your actions may be limited to your own jobs depending on your permissions.
