Job Execution Settings

In environments with a high number of managed objects and scheduled tasks, it's important to fine-tune job execution parameters to ensure optimal system performance and job throughput. This article provides configuration guidance for adjusting Job Execution Settings in Cayosoft Guardian using the Graph editor interface.

Due to overlapping job schedules and the overall volume of operations, increasing the concurrency capacity is recommended.

RECOMMENDED: It is recommended that the server has at least 4 CPU cores. If only 2 CPU cores are available, the job execution configuration should be adapted accordingly.

Updating Job Execution Settings

1. Open the Graph editor at the following URL: https://<accountname>/guardian/graph#/settings/serviceSettings.

2. In the left-hand navigation pane, go to Settings > Service Settings > Job Execution Settings.

3. On the Graph tab, update the following settings based on the available CPU cores:
   

   Setting	Recommended Value
   Maximum number of job workers (maxWorkers)	120
   Number of job workers per CPU core (workersPerCore)	60 (if 2 cores) 32 (if 4 or more cores)

   Example: For a 2-core machine, set workersPerCore to 60 to allow sufficient parallel execution capacity.

After updating the values, click Save to apply the new configuration.

Additional Notes

• These changes are particularly important for systems under heavy load from multiple job types.

• Increasing job worker counts enables faster parallel execution but should be balanced with available CPU and memory resources.

• Monitor system performance after changes and adjust as needed.
