Current activity

The Current activity tab of the Stats page shows the processing activity in your Sitecore Content Hub solution.

The information is divided into two sections:

  • Queue - a list of the processing queues, with numbers representing how many messages are at each stage of the queueing process.

  • Jobs - a collection of statistics about jobs, grouped by job type.

Note

You can access the details of the jobs you created from your personal Background processes page.

For each job, one or more messages are sent to the queue, instructing queue workers to process them. Messages contain the data needed by the workers assigned to each queue to fulfill the job assignment.

A message can be in one of the following stages:

  • In - new message is created.

  • WIP (work in progress) - message is being processed.

  • Complete - message has been successfully completed.

  • Dead - message cannot be processed.

Note

You can set up job prioritization. For example, processing image files can have a higher priority than video files so they are processed first.

Queues

The following table describes the various queues used throughout Content Hub. Some of these queues are scalable, meaning their capacity can be adjusted to accommodate infrastructure of different sizes.
