Cron Scheduler For Magento 2 - User Guide

Eleventex Cron Scheduler helps you monitor background tasks (cron jobs) in Magento and quickly respond when something fails or gets stuck.

You can:

• See recent cron activity in list and timeline views.
• Check the status of each task.
• Open task details for troubleshooting.
• Remove old schedule records.
• Temporarily disable or re-enable specific cron jobs.
• Get failure alerts in Magento Admin and by email.

Where to Find It in Magento Admin

• Eleventex > Cron Scheduler > Cron Tasks List
• Eleventex > Cron Scheduler > Cron Timeline
• Eleventex > Cron Scheduler > Cron Jobs
• Eleventex > Cron Scheduler > Settings

Key Features

1) Cron Tasks List

Use this screen to:

• Filter by job code, status, and date.
• Review statuses such as pending, running, success, missed, and error.
• Open a specific schedule record for more details.
• Remove selected records or clear all records.

2) Cron Timeline

Use the visual timeline to:

• See job activity over recent hours.
• Spot failures and gaps quickly.
• Understand whether jobs are flowing normally.

3) Cron Jobs

Use this screen to:

• View available cron jobs by group and name.
• Enable or disable a specific job from actions.

4) Failure Notifications

When enabled, the module can:

• Add a failure notice to Magento Admin notifications.
• Send failure emails to configured recipients.
• Limit repeated alerts for the same job using a notification interval.

Daily Usage Workflows

Check if Cron Is Running

1. Open Eleventex > Cron Scheduler > Cron Timeline.
2. Look at the Last Cron Activity message.
3. If activity is recent, cron is likely running normally.
4. If activity is old or missing, investigate failed or missed jobs in the list.

Find Failed or Missed Tasks

1. Open Eleventex > Cron Scheduler > Cron Tasks List.
2. Filter by status (error or missed).
3. Open the task details from the actions column.
4. Review the message and timestamps to identify the issue.

Clear Old Schedule Records

1. Open Eleventex > Cron Scheduler > Cron Tasks List.
2. Select one or more records and use Remove Selected.
3. To fully reset schedule history, use Clear All.

Important:

• Clear All removes all cron schedule records from the table.
• Use it carefully, because this removes history for all jobs.

Disable or Re-enable a Cron Job

1. Open Eleventex > Cron Scheduler > Cron Jobs.
2. Find the job and use the action to disable or enable it.
3. Use disable only for temporary control during maintenance or incident handling.

Settings (Recommended Setup)

Open Eleventex > Cron Scheduler > Settings.

General

• Enable Module: turns Cron Scheduler on or off.
• License Key: your Eleventex license key.

Failure Notifications

• Enable Failure Notifications: turns alerts on or off.
• Per Job Notification Interval (Minutes): prevents repeated alerts for the same job within the set window.
• Notify For Statuses: choose which statuses trigger alerts.
• Email Recipients: comma-separated list of recipient emails.

If no recipient emails are entered, Magento General Contact email is used as fallback.

Best Practices

• Check the timeline and failed statuses daily.
• Keep notifications enabled for critical stores.
• Set a reasonable notification interval to reduce alert noise.
• Disable jobs only when necessary and re-enable them after maintenance.
