Configuring Jobs
Prime Infrastructure keeps collecting information from the network and the resources it interacts with through automatic or manual tasks, referred to as jobs. You can find the full list of available jobs under Administration > Dashboards > Job Dashboard. The main goal of such jobs is to keep refreshing the status of the network devices, their services, configurations, and so on without the administrator’s manual intervention. For this reason, the vast majority of these jobs are scheduled to run automatically.
As an example, under the System Jobs > Status group, you can find the Wireless Configuration Audit job for synchronizing Prime Infrastructure with the latest configuration on the WLC itself. It is usually scheduled to run once a day every day, but you can edit the frequency.
Although usually not needed because by default all necessary jobs run automatically, you may, for example, want to check a specific job’s schedule and collection status in case you cannot see data or statistics being updated for certain devices or services.
