Monitoring jobs and viewing job history

You can monitor the status of automated database activities in addition to viewing the history of completed jobs.

Whenever a provisioning task is initiated (such as creating a database or cluster, or adding a database instance) you can monitor the progress from the Jobs menu. Jobs are listed on the page that enables you to view details of jobs that have been completed.

For a comprehensive list of provisioning activities, refer to the Provisioning-new-databases.
