Background jobs monitor
How to observe and control the platform's long-running background workloads from the Background Task Tray.
Published · 2 views
## Overview
Nestsen runs several long-running background jobs that process data asynchronously. The **Background Task Tray** gives you live visibility into all running and recently completed jobs without leaving the page.
## Opening the tray
Click the **activity icon** in the bottom-right corner of any page. The tray slides up and shows:
- Jobs currently in progress (with a live progress bar)
- Recently completed jobs (last 24 hours)
- Failed jobs with error summaries
## Job types
| Job type | What it does |
|---|---|
| `comms_sweep` | Dispatches queued outbound messages within working hours |
| `ooh_escalation` | Monitors out-of-hours incidents and triggers escalation |
| `salesforce_sync` | Synchronises data with a connected Salesforce instance |
| `proactive_intelligence` | Nightly AI scan for recurring issues and risk signals |
| `regulatory_monitoring` | Checks compliance certificate expiries and statutory deadlines |
| `kb_batch_generation` | Generates Knowledge Base article drafts from the knowledge graph |
## Live progress
Running jobs emit progress events via Server-Sent Events (SSE) so the progress bar updates in real time without polling. Each update includes a message describing the current step.
## Cancelling a job
Click the **Cancel** button on any running job to stop it. The job is marked as cancelled; partial work already completed is not rolled back.
## When a job fails
1. The tray shows the job in a red failed state with an error message.
2. For most job types you can retry from the tray.
3. If the same job fails repeatedly, check the **Admin → System** page for diagnostic logs.
