Observing Cron Status
Table of Contents
Please note that the module_install.sh script and Aoe_Scheduler module can only be used with Magento 1 stores.
For Magento 2 stores, there are other alternative modules such as magento2-CronjobManager.
On a standard Magento store, it can be hard to determine if the Magento cron is running as it should, even when the cron is properly configured. For this reason we recommend using Aoe_Scheduler, specifically version 0.5.2.
Enabling cron visualisation
We recommend using Aoe_Scheduler to provide the functionality. It is extremely straightforward to install with the native MageStack module installer,
Eg. To install on www.example.com
cd /microcloud/domains/example/domains/example.com/www
/microcloud/scripts_ro/module_install.sh Aoe_SchedulerThe installer will automatically refresh the configuration cache using MageRun.
Viewing cron activity
Once the module is installed and has been running for greater than 1 hour, you'll have visible statistics in the Magento admin. You can view the cron activity by visiting Admin > System > Scheduler > Timeline View.
