Process Monitor
Purpose of the plugin
In the Process Monitor module, users can monitor processes from the Online Media Net and intervene to regulate them if necessary.
Introduction
The Process Monitor is used to monitor current and completed processes. These can be checked and managed at the same time.
Each process contains specific detailed information, which can be found on the right side.
|
The Process Monitor is only available for standard processes (e.g. downloads, file deletion, synchronization, …). A selection of which processes can be displayed can be made in the Configuration Client. |
Prerequisites and relations to other modules
To be able to see processes in the Process Monitor, processes must first be executed or completed.
As only standard processes are displayed, files in DAM and various functions (e.g. delete, download, move to shopping cart, …) are required.
How to access
The Process Monitor plugin can be opened via the sidebar. It can often be found in the administration area.
How to use
The Process Monitor consists of a center and right view.
No left view is required for navigation or similar.

Processes that are still running or completed processes with errors are blocked for restarting.
