# Job Service Dashboard

*Monitor the job queues, schedules, and workers behind Container Registry's asynchronous jobs, and act on stuck work: stop queued jobs, pause queues, or free a worker.*


Job Service Dashboard
=================================

Container Registry runs work like garbage collection, replication, and log rotation as background jobs. This page shows what the Job Service Dashboard reports about those jobs — queues, schedules, and workers — and the few actions you can take when work is stuck.

## Open the dashboard
* Expand **Administration** in the navigation pane;
* Click **Job Service Dashboard**.

Three summary cards sit above the tabs and stay visible on every tab:
* **Pending Jobs In Queues** — the total waiting, broken down by job type, with **STOP ALL**;
* **Schedules** — the total scheduled, their running status, with **PAUSE ALL**;
* **Workers** — how many workers are busy out of the total, with **FREE ALL**.

A footer action is greyed when there is nothing to act on — **STOP ALL** and **FREE ALL** are dim on an idle instance. That is expected, not a fault.

## Job Queues
The **Job Queues** tab lists each job type with its Pending Count, Latency, and whether it is Paused. Select rows with the checkboxes, then use the toolbar: **PAUSE** and **RESUME** hold a queue and release it later, and **STOP** removes jobs.


> **Warning:** <strong>STOP removes the selected jobs from the queue</strong> — it does not pause them, and there is no retry and no way to delete a single job by hand. You are asked to confirm first.


One job type you may see here is `GARBAGE_COLLECTION`, the job a garbage collection run creates (see [Garbage Collection](/docs/2.16/administration-manual/storage-management/garbage-collection-and-terminal-deletion-of-images/index.md)).

## Schedules
The **Schedules** tab is read-only. It lists each periodic job by ID, Vendor Type, Vendor ID, Cron expression, and Update Time. You cannot edit a schedule here; the only schedule control is **PAUSE ALL** on the Schedules card.

## Workers
The **Workers** tab shows two grids. **Worker Pools** is read-only: each pool's ID, Pid, Started At, Heartbeat At, and Concurrency. **Workers** lists each running worker's ID, Job Name, Job ID, Started At, Checked In At, and a link to its Logs; use **FREE** on a row to release it.


> **Warning:** <strong>FREE kills the job currently running on that worker.</strong> You are asked to confirm first.
