Managing Jobs

Managing jobs describes how to manage data ingestion jobs.
This page details how to manage data ingestion jobs, including the steps for viewing and cancelling jobs. The user can also find steps for viewing tag remediation jobs, canceling tag remediation jobs, and scheduling jobs.

Manage data ingestion jobs

Job service, by default, is disabled. To enable a job and update the frequency, complete the following steps:
  1. To learn more about navigating to the different services from each tenant, refer to Landing page navigation or Kyndryl Bridge Landing page navigation. For the application select
    core > cb-core-job-service
    .
  2. Get the list of jobs that is registered for the tenant, and look for
    ecam-ingestion-
    tenant-id
    . Use the following API, GET /core/jobmanagement/v1/jobdefinitions.
  3. Enable the ingestion job for the tenant by patching it with the following data in the payload. Use the following API, PATCH /core/jobmanagement/v1/jobdefinitions/job_definition/{job_definition_id}/icb_application/{icb_application}. For this example, this job runs every day at 18:30. 
    {
 "status": "Active",
 "scheduled_at": "30 18 * * *"
}
Data Ingestion and Normalization: Cost and Asset Management uses Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning to detect anomalies in the duration of cost data ingestion jobs and generates alert notifications when jobs exceed past results.

Scheduled jobs

Users can initiate and schedule the ingestion by provider directly on CAM . The feature allows users to see consumed cloud resources and gain an accurate understanding of which costs and assets belong to which departments, enabling easy charge-back and reconciliation efforts in hours.
Users can schedule the ingestion jobs for different frequencies (hourly, daily, weekly) directly on the application with the cron job scheduler.
To schedule a job ingestion, follow the steps below:
  1. Click on the
    Settings
     drop-down menu and select
    Scheduled Jobs
    .
  2. A new window will display with the Scheduled Ingestion List, that contains the name of the ingestion, creation date, next run time, your name that initiated the ingestion, recurring and status.
  3. To create a new Scheduled Job
     click
    Add Schedule
    .
    • A new window will pop up. Add a name on the
      Job Name
       bar and select a provider from the drop-down menu on the
      Provider
       bar.
    • Select the frequency of the schedule by entering the Minute, Hour, Day, Month and Week in all the cron fields and then, click
      Schedule
      .
