Cron Scheduler for Magento 2

This module allows merchants and developers to easily view and manage Magento cron jobs in the backend of Magento 2.

Installation

composer require phpro/mage2-module-scheduler

How to use

Timeline

A timeline of the Magento jobs can be found under System / Cron Schedule / Schedule Timeline. On this timeline we can easily:

• see when a job executed
• see when a job is successful, these are marked green
• see when a job has failed, these are marked red
• see at what time a job should be executed, these are marked gray

Schedule list

The timeline view is very similar to the list view, which we can find under System / Cron Schedule / Schedule list. With the schedule list you can easily:

• schedule new jobs (by clicking on the 'Schedule job' button)
• delete jobs (by selecting them and selecting 'Delete' from the actions dropdown)
• filter jobs (ex. filter by cron status)

Job Configuration

We can easily disable cron jobs by using the System / Cron Schedule / Job Configuration view from which we can easily select and disable a cron job. Disabling a cron will prevent it from being scheduled.

Features

• Visualisation of the cron jobs by list and timeline view
• Add / remove jobs to the schedule
• Control which jobs can be scheduled by Magento
• Remove stalled jobs in 'running' status after a configured amount of time
• Clean up ran or failed cron jobs

Configuration

The configuration for this module can be found under Stores / Configuration / Advanced / System / Cron

Running Job Lifetime: The value for this field is in minutes. With it, you can determine when a job will be removed when its status is running.

Limit Entries In Timeline View: With this we limit which cron jobs are visible in the timeline view. By default, we can select the following values:

• Show All
• Show past 24 hours
• Show past 12 hours
• Show past 6 hours
