More than 15 jobs on the dashboard

prevoj

Is there a way to increase the number for jobs shown on the dashboard from 15? I've been backing up 17 systems for a couple of years now and it would be SO awesome to be able to see all 17 jobs on that front page without have to click more jobs to see how the other 2 jobs are doing.

I've looked around but not being familiar with the PRADO framework, I haven't had any luck trying to find the code (or other mechanism) enforcing that 15 job limit. It be great to see it added as an official setting but I'd be willing to patch it if I had to.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hello @prevoj

Welcome to the Bacularis User Group.

Thank you for your feature request. Yes, I think this is a good idea to have an option to set number of jobs on the dashboard.

At the moment I added this option to the Application settings page. This is named Number of latest jobs in table on dashboard and will be available in the next Bacularis release.

In the GitHub repo this change will be available very soon. I will let know here when I push this change there.

If you are interested a temporary patch you can update a value in the patch below. Here is an example for changing it to 17 jobs in table:

diff --git a/Web/JavaScript/misc.js b/Web/JavaScript/misc.js
index 48df539..31c7a70 100644
--- a/Web/JavaScript/misc.js
+++ b/Web/JavaScript/misc.js
@@ -1125,7 +1125,7 @@ var Dashboard = {
        },
        update_job_access: function() {
                // get last 15 jobs
-               var data = this.stats.jobs.slice(0, 15);
+               var data = this.stats.jobs.slice(0, 17);
                $(function() {
                        oLastJobsList.init(data);
                });

The file that needs to be patched you can find here:

[PROJECT_DIR]/protected/Web/JavaScript/misc.js

For installation with binary packages, this is path:

/usr/share/bacularis/protected/Web/JavaScript/misc.js

After changing it, please don't forget to clear the web browser cache because this is a javascript file that is cacheable.

Thanks!

Thank you so much Marcin! I did the manual edit and that is exactly what I was hoping for. I know it's trivial but it's so helpful.

I even got to enjoy your improvement tonight. I was doing full backups and 2 jobs were still running but only one of them was showing on the dashboard. Rather than clicking more, I made the edit, refreshed, and could see both of the running jobs right on the dashboard!

Thanks!
Joe

Hello @prevoj

This new change is included in Bacularis 5.7.0 released today.

You will need to set this job limit in the Application settings page in a new text field for that. That patch is no longer needed.
