Customizing Asset Management › Jobs

Jobs

A job directs agents or engines to perform specific actions. You can, for example, use jobs to run a command or script, collect the inventory information, and pop a message on the asset. You can schedule these jobs to run at a specific time. Asset management categorizes jobs into the following:

• Asset Jobs; those that are performed by the agent on the assets. Hence, an asset job is executed only if it is linked to an asset.
• Engine Tasks; those that are performed by the engine. Hence, an engine job is executed only if it is linked to an engine.
